Delaware Valley College was founded in 1896 by Rabbi Dr. Joseph Krauskopf as The National Farm School to educate Jewish youth in farming. Over the years the school grew and developed, finally offering bachelor's degrees beginning in 1948. DelVal was all-male until the late 1960's when women were admitted. In 1989 the Trusteees renamed the school Delaware Valley College. In 1998 the school began to offer degrees at the master's level. Delaware Valley College is located in Bucks County, just outside of Doylestown, Pennsylvania along US Route 202.
Layout
The school currently occupies 550 acres, and is divided by the rail line passing through it into the east "urban" side and the west "rural" side. Almost all of the school's classroom facilities and buildings not directly connected with animal husbandry are on the east side, along with all of the residence halls. Most students spend all of their time on the urban side. Buildings and land devoted to the husbandry of horses, cattle, swine, and bees can be found on the rural side, as well as a variety of crop fields including peach, apple, and corn. The entire campus is also the Henry Schmieder Arboretum. DelVal, as it is widely known, also owns approximately 120 acres in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; a farm at the intersection of Routes 202 & 63.
Enrollment
The school currently enrolls about 1578 full-time undergraduates and more than 400 part-time students in the college's evening college and weekend college. Approximately 975 of these students live in residence halls on campus. The average class size is 17. More statistics here. More on [ Delaware Valley College ]
