7 Ways WilmU Works

for Your Graduate Education

Education is an investment in your future. In a competitive job market, investing in a master's degree or a graduate certificate can pay off by building the skills you need to advance in your career, boosting your earning potential, and increasing your employment opportunities.

If you're thinking about furthering your education, you probably have a lot of schools competing for your attention. Fortunately, you don't need an MBA to figure out why earning an MBA — or whichever degree or certificate you're considering — at Wilmington University delivers a valuable return on investment. Here's why:

1. Higher education without the higher cost. WilmU is the #1 most affordable private, nonprofit university in the region. All students, whether in-state or out-ofstate, benefit from budget-friendly tuition rates. And since tuition is based on cost per credit, you only pay for the courses you need to complete your degree or certificate. Affordable education makes your future earning power that much more lucrative.

2. Opportunity made accessible. WilmU is committed to making education a possibility for everyone. The University accepts applications throughout the year. Its open admissions process doesn't require GRE or GMAT scores for entry into most graduate degree and certificate programs. Plus, classes start every eight weeks, so you won't have to wait long to start your program once you've been admitted.

3. Available where and when you are. With 15 locations throughout Delaware and southern New Jersey, and online learning options for many graduate degree and certificate program courses, WilmU is always nearby and fits your busy schedule. 4. Like-minded learners. WilmU is a leader in higher education for working adults. Since 1968, its realworld experienced faculty has been providing practical pathways to in-demand careers and professional advancement. Most WilmU students work full- or part-time, and 75% are over the age of 25.

5. Credit for prior coursework. WilmU’s seamless credit transfer process recognizes your previous educational efforts. You can transfer up to 12 credits of graduate-level study completed at other accredited institutions toward a graduate degree program in a related subject at WilmU.

6. Time and tuition savings. WilmU's exclusive DualCredit ADVANTAGE™ feature allows students to apply the credits they earn from selected courses toward more than one academic program, saving them tuition dollars and precious time. For instance, students who complete a five-course graduate certificate could then use those credits as the foundation of their master's degree. It's multi-tasking that actually works!

7. Personalization. You can make a degree your own. An increasing number of WilmU master's degree programs include a choice of specialized concentrations, built-in graduate certificates, or interdisciplinary elective options that allow you to focus your degree's coursework on your specific career interests, resulting in a customized educational experience.
