Revolutionary thinking—it’s part of our DNA at UD. Our first students in 1743 helped found this nation.
Today, we’re marshaling that daring spirit and our expertise in science, engineering, the social sciences, arts and humanities to address new challenges.
With more than 700 research assistants, we’re innovating clean cars and clean fuels, giving mobility to youngsters with disabilities, conserving the precious artifacts of our collective global heritage, and creating life-changing inventions right at your fingertips.
