The University of Delaware has a great tradition of excellence, from our founding as a small private academy in 1743, to the research-intensive, technologically advanced institution of today. Our alumni tell our story of achievement, from our first class, which included three signers of the Declaration of Independence and one signer of the U.S. Constitution, to the more than 182,000 living Blue Hens who are making vital contributions to the world--in science, business, education, the arts, policy, health care, the environment, and many other areas. The University received its charter from the State of Delaware in 1833 and was designated one of the nation's historic Land Grant colleges in 1867. Today, UD is a Land Grant, Sea Grant, Space Grant, 2018 Carnegie Doctoral University – Very High Research Activity (R1). In 2015, UD received the Carnegie Community Engagement classification. A state-assisted, privately governed institution, UD offers courses in a broad range of disciplines, including 3 associate's programs, 150 bachelor's programs, 126 master's programs (with 14 joint degrees offered within), and 60 doctoral programs through our seven colleges and in collaboration with more than 80 research centers.

　　特拉华大学拥有卓越的传统，从1743年作为小型私立学院创立，发展至今已成为一所研究密集型、技术先进的学府。我们的校友谱写着辉煌篇章：首届毕业生中诞生了三位《独立宣言》签署者和一位《美国宪法》签署者;如今逾18.2万名活跃的“蓝鸡”校友正活跃于全球各领域——科学、商业、教育、艺术、政策、医疗、环境等众多领域，为世界发展作出重要贡献。1833年，本校获特拉华州颁发特许状;1867年被指定为美国历史悠久的赠地学院之一。如今，特拉华大学同时拥有赠地、海洋赠地、太空赠地四项资质，并于2018年获卡内基基金会评定为“博士授予机构——极高研究活动(R1)”。2015年，本校更获得卡内基社区参与分类认证。作为州政府资助、私营管理的机构，特拉华大学通过七所学院及80余个研究中心，提供涵盖广泛学科的课程体系：包括3个副学士学位项目、150个学士学位项目、126个硕士学位项目(含14个联合学位)以及60个博士学位项目。

　　Our student body includes more than 19,000 undergraduates, 4,000 graduate students, and 600 students in professional and continuing studies from across the United States and around the world.

State-of-the-art facilities support UD research, teaching, and public service activities. Our 146-foot coastal research vessel, Hugh R. Sharp, the most advanced in the United States, aids scientists across the region in exploring the sea. World-class figure skaters train in our Ice Skating Science Development Center. And partnerships with renowned Nemours/A. I. du Pont Hospital for Children, Christiana Care, Winterthur Museum & Country Estate, Longwood Gardens, and Hagley Museum offer students unparalleled experiences in cancer research to art conservation, horticulture, history and business.

　　我校学生群体涵盖来自全美及世界各地的19,000余名本科生、4,000名研究生以及600名专业与继续教育学员。我校杰出师资队伍中不乏享誉国际的作家、科学家和艺术家，包括诺贝尔奖得主、古根海姆学者、富布赖特学者、美国国家工程院院士、美国国家科学院院士、美国科学促进会会员以及普利策奖得主。先进的设施为特拉华大学的研究、教学及公共服务活动提供有力支持。我校146英尺长的沿海研究船“休·R·夏普号”是美国最先进的科研船，协助全美科学家开展海洋探索。世界级花样滑冰运动员在我校冰上运动科学发展中心接受训练。与知名的内穆尔/A.I.杜邦儿童医院、克里斯蒂安娜医疗中心、温特图尔博物馆及庄园、朗伍德花园、哈格利博物馆建立的合作关系，为学生提供了从癌症研究到艺术保护、园艺、历史及商业领域的无与伦比的实践机会。

　　Distinguished speaker series, symposia, 20 intercollegiate athletics programs, numerous intramural and club sports, more than 200 student organizations, concerts, exhibits, and other arts and cultural activities enrich campus life. Thomas Jefferson once described Delaware as a "jewel" among states due to its strategic location on the East Coast, halfway between Washington, D.C., and New York City. Today, however, the location of Delaware's flagship university increasingly is being referred to as "halfway between Los Angeles and London." In addition to our Georgian-inspired main campus in Newark, Delaware, UD has locations across the state--in Wilmington, Dover, Georgetown, and Lewes--and teaching facilities in London and Paris. A thriving study-abroad program and expanding international partnerships further enhance our students' education as global citizens.

　　杰出演讲系列、学术研讨会、20项校际体育赛事、丰富的校内及俱乐部运动、逾200个学生组织、音乐会、展览及其他艺术文化活动共同构筑了丰富的校园生活。托马斯·杰斐逊曾将特拉华州誉为各州中的“瑰宝”，因其地处东海岸战略要地，恰位于华盛顿特区与纽约市之间的中点。如今，这所特拉华州旗舰大学的地理坐标正日益被称为“洛杉矶与伦敦的中点”。除位于纽瓦克市乔治亚风格的主校区外，特拉华大学在威尔明顿、多佛、乔治敦、刘易斯等地设有分校，并在伦敦、巴黎设有教学机构。蓬勃发展的海外学习项目与不断拓展的国际合作网络，进一步提升了学生作为全球公民的教育素养。
