Overview

The Associate in Arts Program at University of Delaware allows Delaware students to stay close to home while completing the core courses required of all UD undergrads.

After earning their Associate in Arts or Associate in Science 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.

Key Features

The University of Delaware’s Associate in Arts Program allows Delaware students the chance to complete their first two years of college at locations in Georgetown, Dover and Wilmington.

The AAP offers only University of Delaware courses – the same courses taught on the Newark campus – taught exclusively by University of Delaware faculty.

The Associate in Arts degree is awarded by the University of Delaware upon completion of the required 60 credits of coursework, with a minimum GPA of 2.0.

Designed to be completed in two years, the non-residential program begins with a freshman seminar meant to promote academic success, along with coursework in mathematics, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and languages.

The Associate in Arts courses simultaneously fulfill the core requirements for majors leading to the bachelor’s degree. Associate in Arts students enjoy an uninterrupted transition from the associate degree program to a bachelor degree program. Most students relocate to Newark for their junior year to complete their four-year degree.
