Delaware State University (DSU) is a historically black university (HBCU) in Dover, Delaware, founded in 1891 as the State College for Colored Students and one of the country's first land-grant institutions. Its 356-acre suburban campus is a short drive from Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. In fall 2024 it had 6,280 students from 39 states and 34 countries, and a student-to-faculty ratio of 17:1.

DSU offers 9 associate and 46 bachelor's degree options, 26 master's and 7 doctoral programmes, organised in colleges including:

• College of Agriculture, Science & Technology
• College of Humanities, Education & Social Sciences
• College of Business
• Wesley College of Health & Behavioral Sciences

Programmes range from aviation to studio art, and some degrees are offered online through eHBCU. International students can study for a degree or join the non-degree USA Culture Enrichment Program; the Office of International Affairs supports them and matches each new student with an ambassador. Applicants without a TOEFL or IELTS score can meet the English requirement through the university's English Language Institute. On-campus housing ranges from traditional residence halls to suites and apartments.
