Applying as an Out-of-State Student?

Originally painted in 1967 by New York artist Aurion M. Proctor, the mural centers on the Delaware Memorial Bridge and "illustrates metropolitan areas, bridges, tunnels, major highways and historical landmarks over in the mid-Atlantic and New England regions."

World Scholars
Travel the world starting your first year at UD with the World Scholars program. Students admitted to this prestigious four-year program are driven by a desire to engage with other cultures, learn new languages, prepare for global careers and see the world. In their first year, World Scholars study for a semester in Rome, Italy; Newcastle, England (engineering only); Madrid, Spain; Athens, Greece; or Auckland, New Zealand. They continue their global engagement on campus and spend another semester abroad their junior year.
Ideal candidates desire to live like a local anywhere in the world. Does this sound like you?
Scholars and Fellows programs
At UD, we know your interests go beyond your major, maybe even beyond your double major or your minors. Here, you’re encouraged to branch out and explore your passions. Our Scholars and Fellows programs allow you to engage in fields beyond your own, complementing your major without the commitment of a minor.
