Extension Scholars Student Intern Program
University of Delaware Cooperative Extension announces an Extension Scholars; Student Intern Program for current undergraduate (summer following sophomore year and beyond) and graduate students at both UD. This program (to be conducted from May 29-August 11) is designed to follow the service learning model whereby interns will have an opportunity to become fully engaged in organizational service experiences that: are integrated into the academic curriculum; meet the needs of a community; provide structured time for reflection; and help foster civic responsibility. As was the case in 2005, a capstone experience will be part of this year's program. Up to five scholars will receive a stipend of $3000 and, if needed, an allowance of $500 for job-related travel and/or housing. Location of internships will be Extension offices on the UD campus and in New Castle, Kent and Sussex Counties. Application deadline is April 7. Selections will be announced by May 1.
Undergraduate

of our students take the opportunity to work with faculty

a stipend or credit for their work, and a large percentage
continue their research to complete a thesis. For more

specific subject area, contact the academic department.
• Undergraduate Research/Science & Engineering Scholars Program
Dean's Scholar Program
For students who have broad interests in agriculture and natural resources that are not met by a traditional major or blend of academic programs, the Dean’s Scholar program provides a way to design a curriculum specific to the students’ interests. Under the supervision of a faculty advisor, students develop an in-depth and creative plan of study to meet the total credit hours for graduation. Admission to the Dean’s Scholar program requires a proposal and an application during the third or fourth semester at the university.
Degrees with Distinction
Students who complete a thesis and take at least 6 research credits in their senior year may be eligible for a Degree with Distinction. Students must also maintain a minimum GPA and complete the UNIV 401 and 402 courses. Students in the Honors Program also may qualify for an Honors Degree with Distinction if they meet GPA and course requirements.
Honors
Program Students
may apply for the Honors Program when applying for admission
to the University of Delaware. Current UD students may
apply to the program if they have at least a 3.4 GPA
and completed 2 Honors courses with a B or better.
Students
in the Honors Program benefit from small class size,
separate discussion sessions, and living in Honors housing.
Students in the Honors Program can register for any
Honors courses. Students interested in Honors courses
but not a member of the Honors Program may receive permission
from the Honors Program to register for those courses.
Study
Abroad The
University of Delaware is known to be a pioneer of study
abroad. Since the first trip in 1923 to France, students
have been studying in various locations throughout the
world! After our trip to Antarctica in the Winter of
2003, UD can boast that it offers study abroad programs
on all 7 continents! Though our college offers a variety
of study abroad trips through our departments, students
in the college can opt to participate in almost all
UD study abroad programs.
