Top students are especially challenged in DePauw's five enhanced study programs. The Honor Scholar program is an interdisciplinary journey for talented students who want the highest level of intellectual rigor.
Management Fellows are top students interested in business and economics. The program includes special seminars, speakers and a paid, semester-long internship during the junior year.
Media Fellows benefit from DePauw's media tradition, which may be the strongest of any liberal arts college in the country. In addition to interacting with leading contemporary media figures - such as documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, who lectured on campus - students have hands-on access to sophisticated media equipment.
Science Research Fellows use state-of-the-art equipment, work one-on-one with faculty members, participate in internships, make presentations at scientific meetings, publish in scientific journals and, in essence, have graduate-level science opportunities as undergraduates.
Students participating in the Information Technology Associates Program (ITAP) enjoy an unparalleled opportunity to link their liberal arts education with technology know-how through on-campus apprenticeships and on- and off-campus internships.
