  Message from the President

 

Welcome to Wilmington University.

It is our mission to offer quality education to all who seek it. We are committed to academic excellence both in the classroom and online, and our dedicated faculty creates and teaches relevant and affordable career-oriented programs that are conveniently scheduled. We believe strongly in treating each student respectfully and individually.

The enthusiastic involvement of our Board of Trustees sets the bar high for our administrators, faculty, staff and alumni. The Wilmington University community extends well beyond the state of Delaware. We have multiple sites in both Delaware and New Jersey, community college partnerships throughout the region, and students around the country and abroad attend our online programs.

We provide our students with the solid academic foundations, practical skills, and "real-world" opportunities they need to advance in their professions and lead their communities. We encourage them to participate actively in innovative programs that require effort, challenge critical thinking, provide solid career preparation and instill ethical values.

Wilmington University is a place where you can realize your potential as you seek intellectual challenges and personal fulfillment. It is our great hope that you will also discover a love for and commitment to lifelong learning. We are glad you are here!

Sincerely,
Dr. LaVerne Harmon
