UDs Spectrum Scholars program promotes a welcoming environment for undergraduate students with autism at UD that enhances their ability to thrive in academic environments and campus life. In collaboration with JPMorgan Chase & Co. and administered by the Universitys Center for Disabilities Studies, undergraduate students with autism receive comprehensive coaching and career development opportunities during their undergraduate experience as they work toward a successful career. Between 5-8 students are admitted per year for the comprehensive supports, while additional numbers of students will be served through a wide range of group-based supports and interventions. Students also benefit from progressive internships at companies during their undergraduate career in order to develop career readiness skills.
