This report summarizes an annual survey of the employment status and educational pursuits of students who completed their degree requirements within the past year.

The purpose of this study was to determine the economic impact that student, faculty, staff, and University expenditures have on the local community of Newark and the state of Delaware. This study replicated the Economic Impact Study conducted in 1999, and sought to examine trends of expenditures and the economic impact of the University of Delaware since that time. The Economic Impact Study was administered in November 2007 to a sample of 2,650 undergraduate and graduate students and 2,050 faculty and staff members on the Newark campus. The study was also administered to approximately 300 local businesses in the Newark area.

A three-year comparison of counts and applicants' academic characteristics are provided for new freshmen and transfer applicants for the Newark Campus and each of the undergraduate colleges.

During New Student Orientation the "Entering Student Needs Assessment Survey" is administered. The purpose of this survey is to ask entering first-time freshmen for their best estimate of the amount of help they will require over the course of their academic careers in specific skill areas that are components of a college education. In the spring a follow-up survey is administered to measure to what extent the academic needs of entering students have been met. Our intention is to ascertain the extent to which the University has provided appropriate programs and services to address the needs that they specified on the Entering Student Needs Assessment Survey.

This survey was conducted in order for the University of Delaware and the Environmental Concerns Committee to recommend programs, policies, and practices to improve the environment and quality of life at the University. The student survey concentrated on general environmental attitudes, current environmental practices, and calls for change. The faculty and staff survey, on the other hand, concentrated on current environmental practices and calls for change. The goal of this study was to establish a benchmark of current environmental practices and to better understand the current attitudes toward environmental issues on campus.

In May, 2005 the University of Delaware Faculty Senate “voted to make the distribution of grades across departments regularly available to the University community.” This site, maintained by the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, publishes that grade distribution information.

The University of Delaware has participated in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) in 2001, 2005 and 2008. NSSE is conducted by the Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research and Planning. The purpose of the survey is to provide reliable and credible information about the quality of the undergraduate experience. The survey asks students about their college experiences - how they spend their time in a variety of educationally important activities, what they believe they have gained from their classes, and their assessment of the quality of their interactions with other students, faculty, and administrators. The NSSE survey was developed, at least in part, to offer an alternative to the kinds of "college ranking" systems employed by publications like U.S. News and World Report. The intent of the survey is to provide colleges and universities "with far more valuable information about institutional quality than established resource and reputation measures."

A comparison of average faculty salaries by academic rank and by discipline, for faculty at the University of Delaware and at those Land Grant Universities across the nation which participate in the Oklahoma Salary Survey.
