Admit Welcome Booklet for the Class of 2024

DEPAUW

DePauw University began humbly. One professor. Five students. A cornerstone in a frontier village.

In more than 180 years since, DePauw has grown boldly. 225 professors teach 2,156 students. And that cornerstone lies in East College – the heart of a 695-acre campus.

DePauw’s growth has been a shared effort. The students, faculty, staff and community members create the heart of our liberal arts and sciences university.

They are the Gold Within.

And now, so are you.

Welcome to DePauw.
