The DePauw School of Business and Leadership
In the fall of 2023, DePauw becomes the only Top 50 liberal arts university in the Midwest with a business school - and one of only four in the nation. Students in the DePauw School of Business and Leadership will explore decision-making and problem-solving individually and in groups, drawing on a rich liberal arts foundation of data analysis, ethical inquiry, global awareness and clear-thinking communication.
In the School of Business and Leadership, students will develop and apply these skills in coursework, case studies, independent research and internships. DePauw has a long tradition of providing opportunities for leadership, internships, alumni connections and mentorship, magnified through the School of Business and Leadership’s connections to the Sanger Institute Initiative and McDermond Center for Management and Entrepreneurship.
DePauw’s Unbeatable Business Formulary:
-
Experience is Everything
From day one, students are immersed in experiences reserved for graduate students at larger universities. Anchored by the Sanger Leadership Initiative and the Prindle Institute for Ethics, DePauw experiential opportunities are unparalleled. -
A Strong Foundation
The liberal arts and sciences prepare well-rounded, intellectual leaders with exceptional interpersonal, creative, communication and problem-solving abilities. These “leadership arts” skills prepare you for your entire career. -
Business IS Personal
An 9-1 student-to-faculty ratio means professors prioritize mentoring and relationships. We know you here. And so do our alumni, who enthusiastically mentor and connect students with opportunities. -
Gold Within is Priceless
At DePauw, we define the qualities possessed by the most respected leaders – those who bring out the best in themselves and others – as Gold Within. And a DePauw education mines those qualities to shape values-driven, purposeful and prepared leaders on any career path.
