University of Delaware is a public institution that was started in 1743. It has a undergraduate enrollment of 18,766, its environment is suburban, and the campus size is 1,996 acres. It uses a 4-1-4-based academic calendar. Its in-state tuition/fees are $14,412; out-of-state tuition/fees are $35,842
For learners interested in attending the University of Delaware, it pays to live in the state. The University of Delaware admits all Delaware residents whose academic records predict success, and about 65 percent who apply will be accepted. About half (45-55 percent) of all out-of-state applicants are admitted. For all who receive admission, there are more than 400 student clubs and organizations on the schoolÂ’s lush campus in downtown Newark. Nearly 20 percent of learners are involved in the school’s large Greek system, which has about 40 fraternities and sororities. The Fightin’ Blue Hens sports teams, named after a Delaware Revolutionary War battalion with the same nickname, participate in the NCAA Division I Colonial Athletic Association. The mascot is a costumed bird named YoUDee, and a group of live Blue Hen chickens reside on the school farm. Freshmen must live on campus, unless they commute from a parent’s local home. When learners want to leave campus, Wilmington is about 12 miles away. Philadelphia is a 45-mile drive and Baltimore is 55 miles away. The University of Delaware ran the nation’s first study abroad program in 1923, and, these days, about a third of undergraduates opt to spend time in another country.

The University of Delaware offers more than 150 graduate degree programs, including some through the highly ranked School of Education and College of Engineering. In addition to its main location in Newark, the university has campuses throughout Delaware. The school also has a sea-faring research facility, a 146-foot ship called Hugh R. Sharp. As a land, sea and space grant institution, the University of Delaware receives federal funding for research in all three areas. Notable University of Delaware alumni include U.S. Vice President Joe Biden; Robert Gore, the inventor of Gore-Tex; and Chuck Lewis, founder of the Center for Public Integrity.
