What We Do
Undergraduate Research
The Office of Undergraduate Research Experiential Learning and Honors at Delaware State University aims to provide opportunities for students of all disciplines to engage in research. There are several benefits of Undergraduate Research, including career direction, transferable skills, and workplace applications.
Experiential Learning
Honors Program
DSU’s Honors Program is a tight-knit community of talented individuals who engage in traditional and interactive classroom environments. This standup program imparts the necessary knowledge and experiences you need to stand out with employers — along with graduate and professional schools.
Experiential Learning provides our Undergraduate Students work experience during their academic career at Delaware State University. Experiential or work-based learning can help students solidify their career plans, build their professional network with potential employers, develop job skills related to their selected major. The knowledge gained will guide the institution in implementing theory and practice learning that will support students’ academic and professional development while assisting them in the development of their post-graduation plan.
