Are you unsure what you’re looking for? Do you have too many interests to narrow your future down to one? That’s okay! You’ll spend your first three semesters exploring all DePauw has to offer before declaring your major midway through your sophomore year. You also have the option of creating your own interdisciplinary major.

The liberal arts education at DePauw has allowed me to take a wide range of courses that I found to be interesting, all providing me with a unique new insight. Over the course of my first two years at DePauw, all of my classes, from American government to economics, led me back to the realization of my true passion for mathematics,

particularly learning how

to apply it to various areas

of study.

Small Colleges in the U.S. And one of only three institutions in the Midwest in the top 30. #1 in Indiana, according to Money magazine 2018.

nationally for the total number of students studying abroad – Open Doors Report

I initially took the course Japanese Culture, Technology and Design because I was interested in the evolution and advancement of technology, as well as how it has intertwined with culture. What I learned, however, was so much more.

This course has taught me the significance of design and technology in Japanese culture, and inspired me to analyze the role that it plays within my own life and culture.

Seeing how important design is to function taught me how vital it is in modern technology. From religious temples and shrines to cutting-edge service robots, traditional Japanese design concepts transcend time and influence culture.

I wasn’t really sure where I wanted to go, what kind of school I wanted, until I visited DePauw.

“EVERYBODY IS FRIENDLY HERE.” DE PA U W U N I V E R SIT Y

“DePauw introduced me to professors who have me in their best interest at all times.”

The connections DePauw provides through alumni, networking events and career fairs are rare to find in other schools.

“The academics at DePauw are phenomenal.”
