DePauw University has a long history of welcoming international students to study on campus, and we are recognized as a national leader for our percentage of students who study abroad. Today’s world requires leaders with a global perspective and the capacity to reach across national and cultural boundaries. DePauw is committed to continuing to providing this kind of education to students from around the world.
International students and scholars, in growing numbers, are bringing their own experience of the world to the DePauw University community while enjoying the many benefits that a DePauw education has to offer. The Center for International and Experiential Education , located in the Durham house, assists them in understanding immigration laws and procedures that may apply, ensuring that they arrive in the United States with the appropriate visa for their career at DePauw. Every staff member in the Durham House is available to answer questions and provide support to international students, faculty and staff. More information about services for international students can be found at the International Students and Scholars page. The staff members of the International Education and Off-Campus Study Center serve as advisors to all international students.
The International Student Association (ISA) exists to create a bridge between international students and American students at DePauw by increasing cross-cultural awareness. ISA produces two main events each academic year. In the Fall semester, ISA coordinates the International Bazaar which showcases the many cultures on campus through food and cultural performances.
The Spring semester event is the Food Festival. It features ethnic cuisine and talent such as singing, dancing, poetry and more. ISA also organizes other events. Recently, they have visited the Oktoberfest in Indianapolis and Turkey Run State Park.
A representative from DePauw will be traveling to many countries and might be coming to your area. We hope to meet with you at one of these events to answer any questions or introduce you to all that DePauw offers.
