DePauw School of Business & Leadership coming fall 2023

In the fall of 2023, DePauw University will become the only top 50 national liberal arts university in the Midwest with a business school—and one of only four in the nation. Study business and leadership at a fully undergraduate, residential university already known for the extraordinary success of its graduates.

“I am so excited about the School of Business & Leadership combined with a liberal arts education.
Very few schools in the entire world can do those two things well at one time. DePauw’s been doing it well for a long, long time.”

– Jeff Harmening '89, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of General Mills

Experience is everything: From day one, Depauw students are immersed in experiences reserved for graduate students at bigger universities. Anchored by the Sanger Leadership Initiative and the Prindle Institute for Ethics, DePauw's experiential opportunities are unparalleled.

A strong foundation is keyThe 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: We know you here—an 8:1 student-faculty ratio means professors prioritize mentoring and relationships. And so do our alumni, who enthusiastically mentor and connect students with opportunities.

Gold Within is priceless: Here, we define the qualities of respected leaders—those who bring out the best in themselves and others—as Gold Within. And a DePauw education shapes those qualities to create values-driven, purposeful, and prepared leaders in any career field.

Launching this fall!

Students in DePauw’s Business program explore business through decision-making and problem-solving individually and in groups, drawing on a rich liberal arts foundation of data analysis, ethical inquiry, global awareness, clear thinking, and communication. Business students then go on to apply these abilities to coursework, case studies, independent research, and internships. Opportunities for leadership, alumni connections, and mentorship are magnified through the Business Program’s connections with the McDermond Center for Management& Entrepreneurship and the Management Fellows Program.
