Students who enroll in AAP begin their UD college career at a campus of their choice, in either Georgetown, Dover or Wilmington. The program offers University of Delaware courses – the same courses as on our Newark campus – taught exclusively by University of Delaware faculty.
The courses in the Associate in Arts Program allow you to fulfill many requirements of a bachelor’s degree, and AAP students enjoy an uninterrupted transition from the associate degree program to a bachelor's degree program. Most students relocate to Newark for their junior year to complete their University of Delaware four-year degree.
For students who begin in UD’s Associate in Arts Program full-time, the SEED Scholarship covers the full cost of tuition for the first two years and may also cover a third year when students transition to UD’s main campus in Newark.
There is no additional application to be considered for the SEED Scholarship. Students enrolled in the AAP are automatically considered for a SEED Scholarship as long as they complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Follow the link below for more information.
