After completing an internship with UDairy Creamery focused on quality assurance and food safety, Sydney Tankard, a senior food science major from Florida, spent her summer interning with Kraft Heinz’s food science laboratory in Chicago. Sydney worked to produce and launch a new line of sauces for the company, furthering her interest in food research and product development.

Alec MacKinnon, a senior medical diagnostics major from Pennsylvania took advantage of UD’s World Scholars program, beginning his first year in Spain and is pictured here on his junior-year trip to Greece. “I told myself, ‘I need to do something different,’ and I went for it,” MacKinnon said. “I was able to choose opportunities that would help me grow.”

 

Jordan Rosales, a junior geological sciences major from New York, gained experience on the open sea during a research cruise funded by the National Science Foundation. “Getting the hands-on opportunity and seeing what a marine geologist actually does and seeing it firsthand, it completely changed everything,” said Rosales. "I feel like I made a good career choice.”

Honors College

To get at the root of an issue and make a breakthrough takes insight and perseverance, traits honed in the UD Honors College. With opportunities for deep inquiry and research, along with small class sizes, the Honors College gives you the freedom to investigate whatever sparks your intellectual curiosity.

No matter which major you choose, honors provides unique opportunities, a challenging and diverse academic environment and an encouraging community.

World Scholars

Travel the world starting your first year. Students admitted to this prestigious four-year program are driven by a desire to engage with other cultures, learn new languages, prepare for global careers or just see the world. In their first year, World Scholars study in Italy, Spain, Greece or New Zealand, then continue their global engagement on campus and with another semester abroad junior year.

Ideal candidates desire to live like a local anywhere in the world. Does this sound like you?
