Office of Graduate & Postdoctoral Education
Our vision is a thriving graduate and postdoctoral community that advances knowledge and strengthens the impact of the College of Engineering.
Our mission is to strengthen and expand the College of Engineering’s graduate and postdoctoral educational programs through intentional recruitment, efficient processes, and a deep commitment to each scholar’s personal development, sense of community, and professional readiness—all in collaboration with departments and the broader academic community.
If you have any questions or feedback about your experience as a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher in the College of Engineering at the University of Delaware, you can share it (anonymously if you wish) through the form below. The Graduate team is here to help.
The College of Engineering provides comprehensive student services, supporting the advisor/advisee relationship.
The College of Engineering offers competitive funding. The majority of PhD students in the College of Engineering are offered a 100% tuition waiver and a 100% stipend through their academic department.
Engineering is a team sport and one of the ways that students learn to play effectively and win is to develop the ability to work productively with a diversity of people in different scenarios through participation in Registered Student Organizations.
Many resources are available at the University of Delaware and in the College of Engineering to help our students achieve success.
The College of Engineering supports many postdoctoral researchers as they advance their careers in research and academia.
