Counseling Service Workshops
For years DePauw University has been offering its Admission Counseling Service (ACS) Workshops for high schools and organizations at sites across the country.
Our ACS materials have been featured in USA Today, College Outlook, and National Public Radio. They are so well received that we will once again make this service available on our campus. This is your chance to combine a visit to DePauw with lively workshop sessions designed to help facilitate your college selection.
