Program Policies

The University of Delaware and Winterthur Museum jointly sponsor the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation. Successful completion of the degree demands that students abide by the policies and rules of both institutions.

Because professional conservators are usually awarded access to museum collections and valued cultural property of all materials, it is expected that students will demonstrate the highest standards of honor, ethics, and academic integrity as defined by the University of Delaware Student Guide to University Policies , the University of Delaware Undergraduate & Graduate Catalog, the most recently approved American Institute for Conservation (AIC) Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice and the Code of Ethics of The Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum, Inc.
