You’ll need:

1. A completed online application
2. A bachelor’s degree in any academic background from a regionally accredited institution
3. A current résumé
4. A GPA of at least 3.0. (If your GPA is below 3.0, you should still apply, as we take your strengths and skills in other areas into account.)

You could fund your program by receiving a grant, qualifying for federal or private loans, utilizing military benefits or pursuing employer tuition reimbursement. Our dedicated admissions and financial personnel will help you through the process, including enrolling in a payment plan if applicable.

More and more organizations are requiring program evaluation, and state funding mechanisms increasingly require evaluation of programs. They know in the long run that it’s a better use of resources. If you can determine early on that a program is not working, you will save money by making adjustments and decisions before unnecessary funds are spent on ineffective strategies. In just about any field now, there are programs where evaluation is needed.

You can transfer up to 9 credits per University of Delaware policy.

Note: No transfers are accepted for the capstone course.

All requests for transfer credit should be directed to the student’s major department using a Request for Transfer of Graduate Credit form. Transfer credits will be accepted provided that such credits:

• Were earned with a grade of no less than B,

• Are approved by the student’s adviser and the chair of the student’s major department,

• Are in accord with the specific degree program of the student as specified by the unit’s Graduate Program Policy Statement,

• Are not older than five years,

• Are graduate level courses, and

• Were completed at an accredited college or university.

Graduate courses counted toward a degree received elsewhere may not be transferred into a degree at the University of Delaware. Credits from institutions outside of the United States are generally not transferable to the University of Delaware.
