MSHR students take 12 courses on the quarter system (48 credit hours). The entire degree can be obtained at DePaul's Loop Campus. However, some courses are also available in the suburbs and some are offered at the Lincoln Park Campus. Most classes are taught in the evening. Courses may be taken in various colleges at DePaul but at least six courses must be taken in the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business. Students will be matched with an advisor to assist them with program choices.
