DePauw is home to some of the leading scholars, artists and strategists in their fields. An impressive 99% of all tenure-track faculty hold a Ph.D. or higher, but it is their unwavering dedication to undergraduate teaching that sets them apart. With an uncommon commitment to exploration, collaboration and innovation, our faculty represent the best of the liberal arts tradition.
Leveraging the resources of the Creative School, the design studies major at DePauw is housed in the Department of Art and Art History. This department empowers students to engage, critique and shape culture by understanding and applying the fundamentals of effective artistic expression.
