Students apply to the undergraduate program in Art Conservation through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Portfolios are not required or encouraged for application. Application decisions are made by the Admissions office.
The undergraduate degree in Art Conservation prepares students for graduate-level study in conservation, historic preservation, museum studies, or library science. Our students often double major or minor in related disciplines including Chemistry, Material Culture, Anthropology, Art History, or History, but these are added later, in consultation with an advisor, not at the time of admission.

*Note for Transferring Students: The Department cannot guarantee that you will graduate in less then two years when transferring from another institution or from another major within the University of Delaware. Most transfer students spend at least 2, if not 3, years earning the bachelor’s in art conservation even with transfer credits approved from a previous institution. Internal UD transfers can make a change of major via UDSIS.
