WILMINGTON UNIVERSITY MRS. BROWN "I had such a great experience at Wilmington University. Because I was already teaching, coaching and I was going to be a new mother, I was very busy. The staff there understood that and helped me succeed in graduate school. I would recommend Wilmington to any student!!!!"

WILMINGTON UNIVERSITY MR. MURRAY “I attended Wilmington University to obtain my Masters Degree in School Leadership. I found the staff at Wilmington to be extremely knowledgeable and the courses useful in helping me to be a better educator. I also made many contacts at the school, often talking with those in my classes who were also teachers and school workers. These contacts proved useful in providing me new insights and ideas on making my classroom a better place for students to learn. ”

WILMINGTON UNIVERSITY MR. STORER “I had not been in classes for 20 years when I enrolled at Wilmington. The ability to learn again was refreshing.”
