As a UD Intervention Specialist major, you will learn skills necessary to teach students with mild to intensive disabilities through coursework in development and content, clinical experiences and community engagement opportunities.  You will gain an understanding of students at various ages and stages of development, and from various cultures, socioeconomic levels, ethnic groups and ranges of abilities.  You will have the opportunity to supplement your teaching license with additional credentials in preschool special needs, urban education, Catholic education, the education of speakers of other languages or specific certification in supporting students with Dyslexia.  A STEM lab and Curriculum Materials Center are among the numerous resources available to you.

Our program is committed to one of humanity’s greatest challenges: a more sustainable world. We attract the best and brightest students from around the globe, including Fulbright scholars. Together, we’re advancing clean energy sources, energy-reducing design techniques, renewable manufacturing systems, biofuels and more.

Areas of emphasis include:

• Energy efficiency (buildings, industry, transportation)
• Renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal, tidal)
• Design for environment and resource efficiency
• Large-scale energy and environmental systems
• Clean energy for the developing world
• Advanced thermodynamics and energy materials

Owing to the fact that UD conducts about $18 million in bioscience and bioengineering research, you’ll have many chances to get hands-on with your degree. Opportunities include university biochemical, biomechanical, biomaterials and bioenergy labs.

Specialized tracks available to UD bioengineering graduate students include:

• Biomaterials and biomechanics
• Biosystems engineering
• Bioprocess engineering

Our majors are part of a tight-knit community of learners, asking critical questions about the study of religion and theology today. Our graduates contribute meaningfully to the fields of ministry, law, medicine, political science, business and education. They also go on to the nation's top graduate programs in religious studies and theology.

Students dive deep into rhetoric and composition, learning about language and the context in which it is written and read.

The issues facing us today are increasingly global in nature. The context in which we lead our professional and personal lives is steadily becoming more multicultural and global in scope, demanding new levels of international knowledge - knowledge beyond just geography, a few phrases of a foreign language, and a guide book.

Germany is the largest country in the European Union, with the most powerful economy. Our graduates experience a viable job market for U.S. employers seeking fluent German-speaking employees.

A solid music curriculum combined with an arts and sciences education provides students the ability and flexibility to pursue their interests and prepare for their career.

Recent graduates are employed as scientists in academia, industry and government, or pursuing postgraduate education. In addition to our rigourous academic program, students can work side-by-side with faculty on research projects such as discovering novel inhibitors of bacterial efflux pumps as a way to combat multi-drug resistance in bacteria, studying biodegradation of polymer coatings, and discovering new photodynamic lung cancer treatments.

As a computer engineering major, you'll design and upgrade advanced digital and computer-based systems by balancing and integrating the use of hardware components and software: a computer's central processor unit, memory devices, input/output devices and computer networks, operating systems, compilers, and general-purpose programming for specific applications.

You'll enjoy an extensive laboratory experience integrated with coursework that ensures a working knowledge of engineering fundamentals.

Upper-level courses combine academics with current technology and computational tools, which enables you to become the complete professional ready to contribute to the engineering profession after graduation by either entering the workforce or pursuing a graduate education.
