We promise small classes, innovative teaching, and an emphasis on free-thinking and dialogue. It's a promise that empowers students to impact the world even before they leave campus. Thirty per cent of DePauw students engage in real-world research with faculty members, and we encourage students to take on two or more internships during their time here. DePauw ranks in the top 10 for producing business executives and Fulbright Scholars. And 94 per cent of our students have a job or plan to attend a graduate, service, or fellowship program before graduation. That's what we call Uncommon Success.

DePauw is a fully residential liberal arts college, which means conversations spillover from the seminar table to the dining hall to the student lounge.
