The Center for Global Programs and Services (CGPS) brings together key enterprises to support the University's global initiative and campus internationalization efforts. As founders of the nation's first study abroad program, we inspire and facilitate the pursuit of global understanding by developing inclusive programs of study, opportunities for experiential learning and strategic partnerships. We welcome students and scholars from around the globe and foster their success through advising and cross-cultural engagement. Building upon Delaware’s history as a leader in international education, CGPS is proud to continue our legacy of innovation in the 21st century and beyond.

UD Mentors are Ready to Welcome New International Students
CGPS knows that good advice from friends and support from peers during a transition makes a big difference. The iBuddy mentoring program pairs incoming international students with trained and experienced student mentors who connect them with the knowledge and resources to navigate life in the U.S. and at UD.
