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 College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the physics major and minor at DePauw are housed in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. This department is committed to the exploration of how and why things work through both experiment and theory.
