USAUniversity of Delaware, Newark

The University of Delaware has a great tradition of excellence, from our roots extending back to a small private academy started in 1743, to the research-intensive, technologically advanced institution of today. Today, it is a Land Grant, Sea Grant, and Space Grant institution. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classifies UD as a research university with very high research activity—a designation accorded less than 3 percent of U.S. colleges and universities. UD ranks among the nation’s top 100 universities in federal R&D support for science and engineering. Our student body encompasses more than 17,000 undergraduates, more than 3,600 graduate students and nearly 800 students in professional and continuing studies from across the country and around the globe. The main campus is located in Newark, Delaware, half the way between New York City and Washington, DC, with easy access to Philadelphia and Baltimore metros. UD also has locations across the state--in Wilmington, Dover, Georgetown, and Lewes. The students participating in TASSEP program will be located at the main campus.
