Associate in Arts Program
A two-year degree program
AAP is your pathway to a UD degree
The Associate in Arts Program (AAP) is a two-year degree program that offers UD courses — taught exclusively by UD faculty — in small classes in Wilmington, Dover and Georgetown. AAP allows Delaware students to stay close to home while completing the core courses required of all UD undergrads. After earning their Associate in Arts degree, most students transition to UD’s Newark campus to pursue their four-year bachelor’s degree.
Through the Delaware SEED Scholarship, eligible in-state students pay no tuition, which, for all other applicants, is approximately one-third of the cost of attending UD.
