DePauw University
DePauw University, founded in 1837, has built one of the strongest reputations among Midwestern liberal arts colleges for its media and journalism-adjacent programs, and its Eugene S. Pulliam School of Communication has produced a notably high number of prominent broadcast journalists relative to the college's small size. The university's Greek life participation rate is among the highest of any American liberal arts college, with a substantial majority of students belonging to a fraternity or sorority, giving DePauw's social culture a distinctly different character from many peer liberal arts colleges where Greek life plays a smaller role. DePauw's endowment per student ranks among the highest of any liberal arts college in the Midwest, funding substantial merit and need-based financial aid, and the university's small size, around 1,700 undergraduates, lets it maintain close faculty engagement typical of elite liberal arts colleges. The university's Greencastle, Indiana campus and its combination of strong media and communications programs with a prominent Greek social culture have made DePauw a distinctive choice among Indiana's private liberal arts colleges, appealing particularly to students specifically interested in broadcast journalism or communications careers.
VS
University of Notre Dame
The University of Notre Dame, founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin of the Congregation of Holy Cross, is the most prominent Catholic research university in the United States, and its golden-domed Main Building, topped by a statue of the Virgin Mary, is one of the most recognizable university landmarks in the country. Notre Dame's football program has won 11 consensus national championships and produced seven Heisman Trophy winners, and the team's independence from any athletic conference in football specifically, along with its national television contract with NBC dating back to 1991, reflects a level of standalone national athletic relevance matched by very few other university programs. The university's Mendoza College of Business and its law school have each built strong national reputations, and Notre Dame's continued explicit Catholic mission — including mandatory theology and philosophy coursework for all undergraduates regardless of major — distinguishes its academic requirements from those of most secular private research universities. Notre Dame's combination of major-program football success, a devoted national alumni base extending well beyond Indiana, and genuinely strong academics across business, law, and the sciences has made it one of the most recognizable Catholic universities in the world, with a level of national brand awareness that rivals much larger institutions.
