College of Agriculture and Natural Resources
Undergrad: Dean's Scholar Program
(Catalog page 73)

The Dean’s Scholar Program serves students whose clearly defined educational goals cannot be effectively achieved by pursuing the standard curricula for all existing majors, minors, and interdepartmental majors sponsored by the University. Driven by an overarching passion or curiosity that transcends typical disciplinary bounds and curricula, a Dean’s Scholar’s intellectual interests may lead to broad interdisciplinary explorations of an issue or to more intense, in-depth studies in a single field at a level akin to graduate work. In consultation with faculty advisors and the Assistant Dean of their college, Dean’s Scholars design an imaginative and rigorous individual plan of study to meet the total credit hours required for graduation. Dean’s Scholars in Agriculture and Natural Resources may qualify for Honors Degrees. Contact the Assistant Dean in the college or go to www.udel.edu/deansscholar/ for more information and the application.
