"The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program at the University of Delaware was well organized and taught by an engaging faculty that brought academic and real life experiences to the classrooms. All personal 'values and beliefs' were respected. Structured as seminars, each class was highly interesting and informative as intelligent adults and professors examined and debated course materials. The interdisciplinary curriculum exposed students to issues of humans and nature throughout the ages. As I pursue the Doctor of Liberal Studies program this coming fall semester, I am very grateful for the wonderful MALS education I received at the University of Delaware."

"At the University of Delaware I learned applicable skills that transferred easily into career knowledge. All of the professors were helpful and very well-connected, especially with the Delaware government and organizations in both the public and private sector. Everyone is willing to help students get to the next step in their education or career. The class curriculum is tailored to fit each student's desired career path. I highly recommend this institution for graduate students pursuing a career in the public or non-profit sector."

"The University of Delaware and biological sciences department has provided me with a strong background. The diversity of classes my major required and the exposure to different teachers/teaching styles has prepared me to enter PA school with a quality education. My classes varied in size, from 200 to 20 students, but I never felt like just another number. Teachers offered numerous office hours and extra help sessions to get to know their students and to offer their help outside of the classroom. In addition, my involvement in a sorority has provided me with numerous networking opportunities."

"I would recommend this program to students who are intrigued by relationships and daily interactions. This program gave me insight to the foundation of the persona and personal relationships. This program not only prepared me for my career, but more importantly taught me the importance and the process of understanding the mind when it comes to developing relationships."

"The University of Delaware is, in every sense of the word, a wonderful place. UD has granted me opportunities to engage in research, networking, scholarship, and most importantly, personal growth. As a research university, it has a very strong commitment to creating opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to improve their communities and American society. Its graduate programs are dedicated to the intellectual growth and career development of students as citizens, scholars, and professionals. I happen to be one of those students. UD promotes an environment in which all Educational Leadership doctoral candidates, like me, are inspired to learn, challenge critical issues in education, and pursue their passions through the Educational Leadership portfolio. The ELP is a culmination of the research and products students have completed as an outcome of learning and intellectual growth. The ELP connects research with practice and demonstrates a students expertise and accomplishments related to a leadership initiative in his/her professional work. This is completed under the leadership and guidance of faculty. Faculty are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and highly accessible, which can be difficult to find in other schools graduate education programs. Professors in the Educational Leadership program at UD foster intellectual curiosity, extended thinking, and academic excellence; essentially, UD successfully prepares its graduate students for the pursuit of their passions no matter the hard work and dedication it will take to achieve their goals. Because of my experiences in the program, my research skills, networking opportunities, and knowledge and expertise in the field of education have improved; whats more, is I have developed connections and friendships with in and out-of-state students I wouldnt have otherwise had the opportunity to do if it wasnt for this program. The Educational Leadership program is rigorous, challenging, and an overall positive experience for students and faculty. The academic challenge initially seems deterring to students, but the intellectual growth facilitated by UD faculty leaves students satisfied and equipped to improve their schools and better serve their students and staffs. The UD experience leaves most students yearning for more because of the intellectual rigor that challenges each student to fulfill his/her full potential. Students leave the University with the knowledge, strength, and capacity to compete with leaders in education, globally."

"Online program is not catered to working adults. You will be expected to turn in the same amount of work as if you were a student during the 16 week semester in half the time. Be careful because with your time on these programs since they are not giving to respect to your work or personal time. These online programs are more for adults who do not work!"

"After finishing my four years at University of Delaware would like to obtain my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from one of the twenty-eight competitive veterinary schools. By the time I am thirty I will then have my Board- certification from the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine to specialize in cardiology. Consequently, I plan on having a stable career at a veterinary hospital, particularly the Cornell University Veterinary Specialists Hospital. I would like to volunteer abroad. I think that volunteering helps you grow as a whole. First and foremost it broadens your knowledge about the world so that you are not ignorant to the global issues and concerns. Also I think any type of volunteering humbles you. I am very fortunate to have a family in my life that constantly pushes me to be the best and provide for whatever I need. Also love connecting with different people. I think it is a great way to develop your social skills with unforgettable experiences. Though I have not had the chance to volunteer abroad, I have had many volunteering experiences in my community. A friend family was diagnosed with acute childhood leukemia. In an effort to bring awareness to the public, specifically to the African American population, his parents partnered with two bone marrow donor registries to increase African Americans registered to donate and to help the community. I was given the wonderful opportunity to help his family spread the world about his unexpected circumstances."

  • Degree: Nursing
"I transferred to the University of Delaware from another school because I wanted to obtain my BSN which the other college did not offer. This proved to be a wise decision as the trend is now to require all registered nurses to have a BSN. This degree also increases the salary a nurse is paid, versus having only an RN. I lived on campus, and always felt safe walking around, although I never walked alone after dark. The classes were very rigorous, and the clinical rotations were excellent. We did children's hospital rotations, mother/child, med/surg, psyche, and public health. I felt it was very comprehensive and prepared me very well for entering the nursing profession."

"Overall, I greatly enjoyed my two years in the Biology program at the University of Delaware. Pros of this program include: tuition is completely covered for every student accepted (~$100,000) plus they require you to work as a teaching assistant and that pays additionally into your pocket. I also felt that this program did a nice job in prepping students who hoped to seek careers in the biotech industry via career fairs, resume workshops, etc. The faculty are very kind, friendly and accessible. Cons include: depending on which class you are assigned the teaching assistant job will require a lot of attention. Additionally, you are expected to balance your classwork (which you need a B or above to stay in the program), research, and teaching duties. Some students are not well equipped to handle that coming in and struggle."

"I study Linguistics and Cognitive Science, and specialize in language acquisition, psycholinguistics, and disorders. There are a TON of resources. The professors are knowledgeable and extremely helpful. On the downside, the department can be very cliquey, and sometimes it is hard to feel support. Certain sub-fields are looked down upon or don't have a lot of resources for, such as language disorders. Overall, it is a great program!"

"The surrounding town of Newark, DE was a welcoming and very navigable for students. There are plenty of restaurants and things to do on the weekends. Most students stay on campus throughout the year. The student programming offered is extremely varied and well-organized. The school spirit is strong and contagious as well. Alumni are always returning for Homecoming Weekend and other large-scale events. The coursework is competitive and challenging, so make sure that you maintain your good study habits and visit the library often. Overall, it was a fantastic college experience."
