Pathways Honors Program

​​​​​You are invited to this program based on the strength of your application for admission, your academic performance in high school and your interest in a degree program in the College of Science and Health.​​

​​​​​Many medical schools operate as independent entities. Not all universities with affiliated medical schools provide an advantage to applicants with an undergraduate degree from the host institution. As a result, DePaul graduates could be viewed as being on a level playing field as graduates from other institutions with affiliated medical schools. The benefit of our alliances is that students who are interested in healthcare professions are given early exposure to faculty, staff and students from various areas of health care. Earlier exposure allows for exploration of options and provides a competitive edge when applying to graduate and professional education. This is a benefit not often available to undergraduate students at other institutions.​

The following programs at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science are currently available:

• Pathologists' Assistant (MS)
• Pharmacy (PharmD)
• Physical Therapy (DPT)
• Physician Assistant Practice (MS)
• Podiatric Medicine (DPM)

The following programs within DePaul University are currently available:

• Generalist Nursing (MSN)

No, you must be a declared major in any program listed under each Accelerated 3+ option. Under the traditional option, you may pursue any major in the College of Science and Health.

No, your DePaul financial aid only applies to your undergraduate DePaul coursework. The Accelerated 3+ options give you the opportunity to save time and tuition by forgoing a fourth year of coursework at DePaul. Once you become a student at the graduate level, you will pay the tuition at the relevant rate and apply for financial aid accordingly.
