Delaware Valley College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Delaware Valley College is a small private college located in Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. First established in 1896, the college was at one point known as the National Farm School. While still retaining its farm heritage by offering majors such as dairy science and crop science, Delaware Valley College has since grown to offer degrees in majors such as business administration and biochemistry.

History

The college was originally founded in 1896 by Rabbi Dr. Joseph Krauskopf to educate young Jewish men into becoming scientific and practical agriculturists. The National Farm School, as it was then called, initially occupied , with only a small classroom building for instruction. After WWII, the college expanded and began offering bachelor degrees in 1948, also becoming known as the National Agricultural College. Then, in 1960, the institution changed its name to Delaware Valley College of Science and Agriculture to reflect its incorporation of new programs such as Food Industry (1951), Biology and Chemistry (1958), and Business Administration (1965). In the late 1960’s the college became co-educational, admitting its first female students. In 1989 the college’s trustees approved an abbreviated name, finally deeming the institution Delaware Valley College. In 1998 the college offered its first Master of Science Degree in Educational Leadership. In 2001, DelVal added a Master of Business Administration, (MBA).
