Discover Program

However, many of our students participate in the Discover Program with hopes to internally transfer into one of our professional schools including, School of Business, School of Engineering and the School of Education and Health Sciences. If you are unsure of exactly which major fits you best, or you are participating in the program as a stepping stone to the professional schools, we are here to help you find your vocation and success at UD.
