Admission Information General Information Baccalaureate graduates of accredited colleges are eligible to apply to the University of Delaware for admission to a graduate program. Entrance requirements are established by the departments and are subject to approval by the University Faculty Senate Committee on Graduate Studies. To be considered for admission, applicants must meet the admission requirements stipulated in the Graduate Program Policy Statement of the academic unit to which the student is applying.
Admission is selective.
Not all who apply may be admitted. The number and quality of other applicants as well as the availability of faculty supervision and laboratory space affect the number of students offered admission. Applicants are encouraged to contact the academic department for specific admission requirements. Applicants for Ph.D. degree programs may be required to complete the master's degree first, although the degree is not a prerequisite to admission. Students who have been admitted to a master's program and who receive their master's degree at the University are not necessarily eligible for a doctoral program.
