Course Curriculum
DePaul has a vast variety of classes one can choose from, and the faculty are amazing. You don't have to only stick to one field, you can take different types of classes as per your wishes and the faculty + advisors are super helpful in doing so. Also, DePaul's business school is located in downtown Chicago, which makes it an excellent option for students to reach out to companies for jobs, attend events, and do all sorts of activities.

Approx. $50,000 (net amount after scholarship)

- My application process was very much delayed and only a few options were left by the time I started applying in late June and July. Also I pivoted my field of study from engineering to business analytics in the last minute. I have initially applied to the engineering programs in universities and I even took admission. Later chagend my mind to pursue business analytics. So I had only two universities taking admissions by that time and this was the obvious choice considering the location, CHICAGO. And the curriculum was comprehensive and I really liked it.,
- Location and the Opportunities it brings. Located in the heartland of Chicago, the third largest city in USA with it's architectural grandeur, is "the" place to live for many and it gives students wonderful opportunities to network and forge new relationships that can help boost their career. DePaul University's Kellstadt Graduate School of Business is renowned in mid West and has a wonderful curriculum especially for business analytics.

- "Considering the nature of online classes after COVID pandemic, the experience is similar to that of an online course. Even for the offline classes, there is an option to attend them online in most of the cases. And it's a practical reality that virtually all of the students choose online due to convenience. In this case, paying thousands of dollars, in business analytics, each credit hour was above 1100 USD when I was studying and that meant a simple SQL course of 4 credits, of which the entire syllabus could be learnt in a week, costed me $4,500. which in my opinion was absurd. There were other such subjects in the curriculum. Even though the curriculum was fantastic, the fees was absurd. Secondly, the management was very inefficient. Especially for the international students, the simplest of questions regarding academics or accounts or anything else had taken very long to get answered. Especially, after having submitted the documents online, as it was the way during pandemic, my account was put on hold after a few quarters out of nowhere and I had to submit the hard copy again. I had some questions regarding accounts and well as academiics, I had to go from one office to the other only sent back to the same office again and they themselves didn't know that they were supposed to answer it. Usually it's the student employees at the desk of the office. And contacting the advisor would be the option and emails is very inefficient and time consuming. The zoom sessions are scheduled and usually have waitingtimes. I feel there should be a better way to manage the process for international students considering the sheer amount of volume surge in recent years. "
Course Curriculum
The course was fantastic and quite comprehensive. Coming to relevancy, there is a recent shift towards machine learning and ai. Although the topics of machine learning were included it was more theoretical and I feel tools should be taught to leverage the technology. Mostly it was great but some data analytics tools required in job weren't taught enough I feel. For example, We were taught SQL using R studio. But not any other applications that are actually used in the market.
Fees
48 credit hours. And each credit hour costed about $1,125. And other athletic fees and extracurricular fees, city transit pass, and other miscellaneous fees.

- I liked the coursework. The faculties work in the industry such as google.
Course Curriculum
The syllabus would depend on faculty. So far its updated and I am exposed to latest tools and technology.
Fees
900$ per credit for CDM courses.
Course Curriculum
The courses are rigorous and offer a nice balance of all aspects of the industry. One thing I will note is that once it became time for electives, the offerings would often get canceled due to low enrollment - just keep that in mind. Two examples would include - Advertising Portfolio and Communication Law.
Fees
About $26,000 per year.
