Enhance Your Studies in the Honors Program.

Are you looking for something more out of your college experience? The Honors Program might be right for you.

Designed to enrich the academic experience of qualified students, the Honors Program can also provide you with unique opportunities in leadership and civic engagement. You will have the opportunity to take special sections of courses that allow you to explore topics in a more personalized way, explore interdisciplinary seminars to broaden your understanding of the world and culminate your degree with a senior project.

Get a Jump Start on Your Career.

Getting a great job after graduation is a priority. But you should not wait until your senior year to make this a reality. Do you need an on-campus job? Are you interested in internships? Do you need help deciding what to do with the degree you are working towards? Career Services can help you start the process of reaching your goals as early as day one.

We offer career counseling and help with developing the skills and resources you need to enter the workforce — resume and cover letter writing, interview skills, job searching skills — and provide opportunities to get you in front of employers who want to hire you.

Explore Undergraduate Research Opportunities.

Each spring, Wilmington College hosts two events to showcase the research our student and faculty have conducted — the Undergraduate Research Forum and the Undergraduate Research Symposium.

The forum is a poster exhibition that showcases and celebrates research accomplishments across all majors and disciplines, while the symposium serves in more of a traditional conference format where students will present their papers.

Experience the World through Study Abroad.

You can learn a lot about the world through secondhand resources, but it is hard to replicate the learning power of experiencing life abroad firsthand.

Whether you have always dreamed of studying the flora and fauna in the tropical biome of Costa Rica, tracing the steps of the 1848 revolutions along the Ringstrasse in Vienna, or simply experiencing a different way of life, there might be a study abroad option that is right for you.

We offer semester programs as well as short-term study-travel trips.

Commit to a Life of Service and Civic Engagement.

Why wait for the world to change when you can be in the driver’s seat? The Center for Service & Civic Engagement (CSCE) creates opportunities for students like you to get involved in the community where the help is most needed. From voter drives to building tiny homes, there are a variety of ways you can get involved.

Through your commitment to helping others, you will deeply develop skills and qualities that will enhance your life as well as the lives of those around you.
