Delaware State University
Delaware State University (DSU) is an 1890 land-grant institution and historically black university located in Dover, Delaware that has a distinct mission and student body. Seventy-five percent of our students are students of color, and a majority are first-generation college students. As a result, our commitment to teaching excellence must be paramount, and our general education program plays an especially important role in helping traditionally under-served students become college-educated professionals and contributing citizens. Our DSU team applied to attend the 2018 AAC&U General Education and Assessment Summer Institute. As a result of participation in the Institute, the DSU team has identified goals and activities that will, ideally, result in the implementation of an improved General Education program beginning in the fall of 2020. In the work accomplished at the summer institute, we developed two models to help guide our future work to re-design our General Education Program.
