Discovery Learning Experience (DLE) (3 credits). This could be a winter, summer or semester study abroad, an internship course, an independent study or an approved experiential learning course. See the DLE website for more information at http://www.ugs.udel.edu/dle/. First-Year Experience. University Breadth Requirements (12 credits with a minimum grade of C-): All students entering the University of Delaware as of fall 2010 are required to take a minimum of 12 credits of University breadth requirements 3 credits each from courses designated as Creative Arts and Humanities, History and Cultural Change, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Technology.

Students may not use a course that is cross-listed with a subject area that has already been used to satisfy a university breadth requirement. Students enrolled in a single major may not satisfy the breadth requirement with courses in the subject area of that major (e.g. chemistry majors may not use CHEM courses). Students who are enrolled in more than one major or degree are allowed to meet the University breadth requirement by taking approved breadth courses from within the subject areas of their majors.
