University of Delaware

Founded in 1743, the University of Delaware is one of very few institutions who are both public and private (state-assisted with private charter). Students from every state and 100 foreign countries choose Delaware due to its medium size (16,000 undergraduate and 3,000 graduate students) and private offerings, including a $1 billion+ endowment, 145+ majors and 100 minors, smaller classes with 95% taught by full-time faculty, and a vibrant arts community. Located on a classic campus at the center of the East Coast, Delaware is home to a winning Division I athletic program (Go Blue Hens!), the first Study Abroad Program in the U.S. (now on all 7 continents), one of the country's oldest honors programs, and a nationally-recognized Undergraduate Research Program.
