Delaware Valley University is dedicated to encouraging and facilitating an environment where students can realize their dreams. Founded in 1896, Delaware Valley University is dedicated to encouraging and facilitating an environment where students can realize their dreams. We are inspired by the ideals of our founder, who in 1896 emphasized respect for all people and ideas, who honored knowledge with practice, progress and the common good. Our historical commitment to experiential learning integrates theory and practice and prepares undergraduate and graduate students to meet the challenges of a complex global environment and to engage in lifelong learning. We provide students with the requisite skills and a spirit of inquiry that enrich and inform their lives, prepare them to pursue meaningful careers, and fulfill societal, community and family responsibilities.
