Graduate Student Information

With almost a dozen graduate programs, the College of Education and Human Development allows our graduate students to attain in-depth knowledge on a wide breadth of topics.

Consistently ranked as one of the top schools for graduate education by US News & World Report, the School of Education at the University of Delaware is a vibrant learning community that prepares graduate students for careers devoted to the solution of our most pressing educational problems — either through basic or applied research.

Our award-winning faculty work closely with students, helping to develop the next generation of scholars for positions as researchers, professors, or leaders in education, early childhood, human development, family studies, human services and related fields.

We host colloquiums, conferences and lunchtime series, providing opportunities to meet with visiting scholars, discuss innovative research with leading experts from around the world, and honing career-building skills through professional development.

“I came to UD because the Ph.D. program was so inclusive and interdisciplinary. I will be able to combine my interest working with at-risk populations with social psychology, disabilities studies and non-profit administration. I couldn’t find that combination anywhere else.” Christina Woodson, HDFS
