Rounding Out the Experience

The DePauw Tigers enjoy all the benefits of Division III athletics: a high level of participation, a focus on academics excellence and a proud tradition. In addition, four out of five students take the field in intramural or club sports. Participation in and appreciation for the arts is an integral part of life at DePauw. One third of the student body is involved in the School of Music. The school newspaper, radio and TV stations also welcome non-majors.

An Exceptional Start

Calling DePauw a "hidden treasure," The Unofficial, Unbiased Insider's Guide to the 320 Most Interesting Colleges says "DePauw's extensive internship opportunities and attention to marketable knowledge and skills bodes well for anyone looking to beat the competition before their careers even begin."

 

Student Profile

I have really enjoyed getting out into the community by helping homeless animals, spending time with the elderly at Asbury Towers retirement facility, and developing the friendships I have established both in and out of the Bonner Scholar program.
