The week of November 7 ^th -11 ^th is National Distance Learning Week, a time where schools from around the nation celebrate and showcase their online programs for current and prospective students.  This year we would like to encourage students who are reluctant to take online classes or those that might feel intimidated by the technology, to give online learning a try. 

We have created an online scavenger hunt which will give you the opportunity to sample a real online course.  It will also take you across our website so you will learn more about what degree programs are available online.  Finally, you will get to view actual student testimonials from students in our online programs that help explain the ease and value of the online experience they have had at Wilmington University. 

Each person who completes the scavenger hunt will be entered in our contest to win an iPod touch. As an added incentive for completing the scavenger hunt, the application fee of $35 will be waived for those who choose to enroll at Wilmington University.

There are 3 sections to this scavenger hunt. It should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. To get started, click the "Next" button below!
