Applying to ITAP

Admission into the Information Technology Associates Program is highly selective, based on the candidate's interest in working with technology, academic record, ACT or SAT scores, class rank, extracurricular activities and experience with technology.

The program seeks outstanding leaders, thinkers and communicators, and all students are welcome to apply to the program. Experience with various software and hardware packages is desirable, but more important is comfort working with technology and a desire to learn. We are looking for students with enthusiasm and a passion to master the latest technologies. Excellent interpersonal skills and leadership abilities are also important. You need not be a technology guru, however. Students of all majors and career interests are involved; whether your interest is business, philosophy, music, computer science, or history, we urge you to apply!

  1. Complete and return to the Office of Admission a DePauw University application;
  2. Write an essay that describes why you hope to participate in the Information Technology Associates Program, what you expect to gain from the experience, and how you expect to contribute to the program and your fellow students
  3. Submit your essay by completing the online ITAP application:
