At UD, hands-on learning helps Flyers clarify their vocation and build the skills and confidence to make an impact in the real world. That’s why we guarantee every undergraduate student at least one high-impact experiential learning opportunity before graduation — such as internships and co-ops, study abroad, research, leadership, performance-based learning and more.
The 2027-28 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) recently opened for all students. We encourage all students to file the FAFSA, even if they think they won’t qualify for federal aid. Many University-funded grants and awards require a FAFSA for eligibility. Please encourage families to file as early as possible — some types of federal aid are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
This fall, UD is introducing new academic options to help students pursue their interests and prepare for in-demand careers. New programs include majors in data analytics, systems and industrial engineering, and cybersecurity management, as well as co-majors in aerospace engineering and AI engineering, and a real estate certificate for undergraduates.
Students and families are invited to join our Flight Crew Webinars as they navigate their next steps at UD. Our first session, Preparing for Takeoff, is Monday, Oct. 26. We’ll cover the admission process and our transparent approach to financial aid.
