Uniquely UD: Art Conservation

The University of Delaware's Art Conservation Department holds the unique distinction of offering the only undergraduate degree in art conservation taught exclusively by professional conservators. This program equips students for careers in museums and further studies in fields like material culture conservation, historic preservation, and museum studies, among others.

In collaboration with Winterthur Museum, UD also presents the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation (WUDPAC) at the graduate level. Hosted at the Louise du Pont Crowninshield Research Building, students benefit from Winterthur's globally acclaimed collection spanning early American art, architecture, textiles, and a dedicated research library.
