Course Overview

Program HighlightsProgram for working adults. DePaul's MALS program did not grow out of a continuing education program, nor is it a division of a continuing education program. It is an interdisciplinary graduate program for working adults, started by faculty who wanted to teach the humanities and social sciences to other adults outside the academy. Designed for students who have been away from school. MALS is rigorous and demanding, yet committed to nurturing the intellectual development of students who have been away from school for some time. All courses are taught by faculty selected specifically for the program. Transformative experience. Whether students come for enrichment or career change, they are formed and transformed into confident intellectuals with skills and knowledge that can be applied in the workplace or to more advanced academic study.
