Welcome to University College

Welcome to the newly formed University College where we are devoted to enhancing your college journey for the first two years at Delaware State University! Our central focus is to help you establish a strong collegiate academic foundation that will enable you to persist and progress to becoming a competitive graduate of DSU.

University College is designed to help you achieve high academic goals by providing integrated academic program support services (i.e. tutoring, writing and math help), college-skill enhancement courses and advisement that will promote your academic, career, and leadership development.

As a student affiliated with University College, we want you to take a personal responsibility for your educational journey. That being said, you will be taught how to navigate campus-wide resources efficiently, how to resolve issues related to your course work, and how to be a strong self-advocate and champion for your academic success.

If you have not decided on a major, University College Staff will help guide and support your decision-making process as you explore the different colleges and what each have to offer. We will help you choose the right major for you.

University College is dedicated to helping you with your transition to college. To help you gain the most out of your first two years, I encourage you to get involved! Research has revealed that students who are actively engaged in both curricular and co-curricular activities perform better in their course work, tend to complete their degrees in 4 years or less, and are more competitive for graduate or professional school and marketable employment. Therefore, I encourage you to seek out opportunities and plan to get involved in Learning Communities, Service Learning and Undergraduate research. Such opportunities will enhance your overall academic experience.

Finally, as you begin your college journey as a DSU Hornet, I encourage you to be mindful of the collegiate ABC’s—positive Attitude, responsible & respectful Behavior, and academic Commitment.  These simple three key elements are essential for a successful matriculation. Again, WELCOME to Delaware State University and University College where “we are meeting students where they are to get them where they need to be.”
