One UD Degree Wasn't Enough For Me

Prospective Students

For many UD students, their bachelor's degree is just the beginning of their time as a Blue Hen. Whether it is the quality and value of our classes, our outstanding faculty and facilities, time to completion of a master's or doctorate, a desire to remain at a place where they are surrounded by friends and has become their home, or any other reason, they remain at or return to UD to pursue a graduate degree.

If one UD degree was not enough for you, please consider sharing your story!
