DePauw launches the Creative School

Marcus Hayes, dean of the Creative School, emphasizes the importance of this approach: "We want all our students to find ways for creativity to be an important part of their lives. By taking courses in various disciplines, students will develop an appreciation for beauty and innovation across various mediums."

The Creative School is one of three interconnected schools established under DePauw's new model, alongside the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the School of Business and Leadership. This structure is designed to offer increased academic opportunities while expanding the potential for interdisciplinary connections.

President Lori S. White underscores the importance of this model: "This three-school model threads the liberal arts and sciences throughout every student's experience as academic bedrock. It's the grounding for our academic innovation, for our interdisciplinary approaches, and for unlocking every student's potential."
