Admission Requirements
Admission to this degree program is selective and
follows the admission requirements to the Public Services Graduate
Program including a 2.7/4.0 GPA, a current resume, a 2-5 page statement of purpose, and a
completed application with fee.
Degree Requirements
This Program requires successful completion of 52 hours of graduate
credit, participation in one MPS study abroad course, and the completion
of a integrated seminar or thesis. This program also requires successful
completion of an intercultural internship either in the U.S. or overseas
for a period of one term for students without substantial overseas
experience.
Language Requirements
All applicants should have training in a second language appropriate to
their interests. Proficiency in translating text is administered by the
Academic Resource Center (ARC). All students must pass this proficiency
during their first year after admittance. Courses are available at
DePaul should students need refresher training. For non-native speakers
of English, the TOEFL score of 590 required for admission satisfies this
requirement. It is expected that students will obtain a speaking
knowledge of this second language as they progress in their career
field.
Internship Requirements
This program requires all students to have a substantial professional
experience in an international or intercultural setting. Applicants with
such experience could request a waiver letter describing the extent of
their work in international or cross-cultural countries and
organizations. In this case, students will chose an alternative four
credit hour course with the Director's approval. Applicants
without such experience will complete an internship
with an appropriate organization.
