In its 2025-26 report, Delaware State University says 21,209 first-year students applied and 6,648 were admitted, an acceptance rate of 31%. 1,322 admitted students enrolled (20% yield). Enrolled students who sent scores had a middle-50% ACT of 18–23.
How the class gets assembled.
This school does not report an Early Decision lane, so the flow collapses to the school-reported applicant, admit, and enrolled totals.
Each column is scaled within that stage. Labels show exact counts.

Federal outcomes
Federal data from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard, vintage 2022-23. Outcomes reflect earlier cohorts than the CDS year shown elsewhere on this page.
Nonpayment is the share of Direct Loan borrowers who entered repayment January 2020–May 2025 and were 90+ days delinquent at the FSA pull. It is not the official cohort default rate.
