Talented students are offered specialized challenges and opportunities in DePauw's five enhanced study programs.
- The Honor Scholar program is an interdisciplinary journey for talented students who want the highest level of intellectual rigor.
- Management Fellows are top students interested in business and economics. The program includes special seminars, speakers and a paid, semester-long internship during the junior year.
- Media Fellows benefit from DePauw's media tradition, which may be the strongest of any liberal arts college in the country. In addition to interacting with leading contemporary media figures - such as documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, who lectured on campus - students have hands-on access to sophisticated media equipment.
- Science Research Fellows use state-of-the-art equipment, work one-on-one with faculty members, participate in internships, make presentations at scientific meetings, publish in scientific journals and, in essence, have graduate-level science opportunities as undergraduates.
- Students participating in the Information Technology Associates Program (ITAP) enjoy an unparalleled opportunity to link their liberal arts education with technology know-how through on-campus apprenticeships and on- and off-campus internships.
