DePauw University

DePauw University is a selective private liberal arts institution in Greencastle, Indiana, with a residential undergraduate focus and a collaborative, hands-on learning culture. Industry partners tap campus laboratories, makerspaces, and the adjacent nature park’s field stations for undergraduate research, prototyping, and field testing. A strong internship and experiential-learning model, combined with proximity to Indianapolis, enables rapid engagement for co-developed coursework, short-cycle studies, and recruiting pipelines. Faculty-led inquiry is supported by competitive external funding, including awards from the National Science Foundation as well as private and state sources. Corporate collaboration is coordinated through career and corporate-relations staff who facilitate sponsored projects, NDAs, and student capstone engagements.
