Info
Delaware Valley University is a private institution that was founded in 1896. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 1,807, its setting is suburban, and the campus size is 570 acres. Located in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, DelVal offers more than 25 undergraduate majors, six master's programs, a doctoral program, and a variety of adult education courses.In 2011, the college dedicated a 398-acre Gemmill Campus in Jamison, Pennsylvania, after a gift from the Gemmill family of land and money in order to further the college's strategic plan. Besides the School of Agriculture and Environmental Science, the college has the School of Life and Physical Science, the School of Business and Humanities, and the School of Graduate and Professional Studies. Within Business and Humanities may be found a variety of majors, including Business, Secondary Education, Counseling Psychology, Criminal Justice, and English/Media.
In 2015, DelVal was recognized among the top 30 "great small colleges for a counseling degree." The program offers advanced training in counseling which includes electives in substance abuse, developmental disabilities and behavior modifications.
The School of Graduate and Professional Studies boasts six master's degrees – counseling psychology, policy studies, educational leadership, special education, teaching and learning, and an MBA – as well as a doctoral degree in educational leadership.
DelVal, as it is commonly called, had a for-credit employment program that required students to work 500 hours in an area of their major; however, this program is now evolving into a more comprehensive experiential learning program, called E360. The program is part of the college’s legacy of linking theoretical learning with practical training. Each department at the college is incorporating E360 into its curriculum.
Many graduates of Delaware Valley University take positions with the pharmaceutical and food industries, work in government or business, go on to become veterinarians or start their own companies.
In December 2014 the Delaware Valley College Board of Trustees announced plans to expand the College into a university.
