The 400-acre (1.6 km2) main campus in Dover, the capital of Delaware, is an approximate two-hour motor drive from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; and Washington, D.C., and three hours from New York City, New York. There are two satellite campuses in Wilmington and Georgetown.

Most campus buildings also offer wireless connectivity.
