Liberal Studies Program

Core

Liberal Studies Core

6 courses/24 quarter hours required distributed as follows:

• First Year Program: (16 quarter hours required) Discover Chicago or Explore Chicago, Focal Point Seminar, and Composition and Rhetoric I and II.
• Sophomore Seminar:(4 quarter hours required) Sophomore Seminar on Multiculturalism in the United States
• Junior Year Experiential Learning:(4 quarter hours required)
• Senior Capstone: All CTI majors require that students complete the senior capstone in their major field.

Learning Domain Requirements

13 courses (52 quarter hours) are required and are distributed across six learning domains as follows:

• Arts and Literature-AL 3 courses required (12 quarter hours). At most two courses from the same department or program.
• Philosophical Inquiry-PI 2 courses required (8 quarter hours).
• Religious Dimensions-RD 2 courses required (8 quarter hours). One "Patterns and Problems" and one "Traditions in Context". Note: One course must be a course in ethics. PHL/REL/MGT 228 is required.
• Scientific Inquiry-SI 1 course required (4 quarter hours). This course must be designated as a lab course. Neither CTI nor mathematics courses are acceptable.
• Self, Society and the Modern World-MW 3 courses required (12 quarter hours). These courses must be chosen from at least two different departments.
• Understanding the Past-UP 2 courses required (8 quarter hours). One  "pre-1800" category and one "1800-1945". In addition, the two courses must be chosen from different geographical categories: Asia; Latin America; Africa; North America or Europe; inter-continental or comparative history.

Grades for any Liberal Studies course must be ‘D’ or better. Grades for Composition I and II must be C- or better. The Pass/Fail option may not be used for any Liberal Studies course.

Special Notes for Transfer Students:
Transfer students who enter DePaul with 30 or more quarter hours may not take the first year core. Instead, they should complete two domain electives (from different domains). Transfer courses may be used to satisfy these requirements.

See the Liberal Studies homepage for more information.

Data Analysis and Database Concentration

This concentration emphasizes computer-based statistical analysis of data. It looks at the storage, retrieval, and post-processing of data from database systems. The concentration includes programming and design of applications; it develops a strong foundation in statistical concepts and theories and puts them into practice using statistical software. The requirements are as follows: Nineteen (19) Liberal Studies courses (see above) plus the following 29 courses. Although all 29 courses are required, the grouping of the courses into First-Year, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior courses is a recommendation only. See your advisor for help in choosing your classes.
