We Integrate Teaching, Research and Real World Experience: Our Delaware model for integrating research, teaching and services is one of the preeminent and most highly developed approaches to professional education available anywhere. Read more on our model (full text article).

Our Faculty: Our faculty are not only excellent productive scholars and excellent teachers, they are skilled practitioners with current experience in practice. Most of our faculty regularly work with government, nonprofits and the commercial sector.

Research Assistantships: Our students and faculty work together to bring cutting edge practices to government and nonprofit agencies.

Internships with a Difference: Our Internship Program is based on partnerships between the school and public, nonprofit, and private organizations. Students do important work that develops real world skills.

Our Legislative Fellows Program: Want to see the wheels of government work first hand? Our highly competitive Legislative Fellows program can make that happen.

Our Community: Includes interdisciplinary scholars and practitioners working together to solve the serious problems that confront society.

No Sales Tax: You were thinking that anyway, so we thought we’d throw that in. Seriously, our lovely campus is located in one of the most affordable states in the northeast. Close to Philadelphia and Baltimore and within easy reach of New York and Washington, DC.
