Wilmington University is committed to academic excellence in our classrooms; relevant programs in our curriculum; and caring, personal attention to our students. One of our great strengths is the enthusiastic, personal involvement of our trustees, administrators, faculty, staff, and alumni in creating a sense of community. We believe that the opportunity for higher education should be available to all who seek it, and we will continue to meet the ongoing challenges that higher education presents in the years ahead

The College of Education at Wilmington University prepares more educators for Delaware schools than any other institution of higher education. The University also attracts substantial numbers of students who are preparing to pursue careers as professional educators in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.  Programs in the College of Education range from an Associate’s degree in Early Care and Education to doctoral degrees with concentrations in higher education leadership, organizational leadership, and school district leadership.  In addition to teacher preparation degrees in early childhood education, elementary and middle school teaching, special education, and secondary teaching, the College offers degrees and courses of study in a variety of specialized educational areas such as school counseling, school leadership, educational technology, career and technical education, instruction, gifted and talented education, reading, and teaching English to speakers of other languages.  At any given time there are about 1,000 Wilmington University students doing supervised fieldwork in schools throughout Delaware and the region.  The College also serves as Delaware’s only Teach for America center and provides programming and field supervision for a new cohort of Teach for America corps members each year.
