DePauw University was founded in 1837 by the Methodist Church. The original name, Indiana Asbury University, came from the first American bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Francis Asbury.

At its conception the school was to be an ecumenical institution of national stature. In fact, the college was "forever to be conducted on the most liberal principles, accessible to all religious denominations, and designed for the benefit of our citizens in general."

DePauw University has the unique privilege of offering the MALPAS Scholarship. This scholarship is offered to students who show high financial need and would otherwise not be able to attend DePauw University. In order to be considered for this award the student MUST have been born in Indiana and have completed all of their primary and secondary education in an Indiana public school.

Nearly 40% of DePauw students study off-campus for a semester or a year during their four years. DePauw students are everywhere, as close as Philadelphia and New York and as far away as South Africa and Japan.

In addition, students have the opportunity to take part in domestic and international Winter Term and Winter Term In-Service projects while at DePauw. The month-long Winter Term, which takes place each January between fall and spring semesters, reflects DePauw's serious commitment to non-traditional, experiential learning. Winter Term is a time of adventurous, intellectual exploration in an atmosphere with a reduced emphasis on grades.
