At DePauw, we've reimagined what a college education can be with our innovative three-school model. At our core, you will find the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, where you'll sharpen your thinking skills, become a great communicator and explore a wide range of subjects. Complementing this foundation, the School of Business and Leadership blends practical business acumen with ethical decision-making. And completing the triad is the Creative School, where innovation meets imagination in technology, arts and media.
Whether you're focusing on a single area or traversing the boundaries between schools, you'll benefit from a comprehensive and collaborative approach to education – and you'll graduate as a well-rounded, adaptable leader ready to succeed in an ever-evolving global landscape.
