History
The college was originally founded in 1896 by Dr. Joseph Krauskopf to educate young men into becoming scientific and practical agriculturists. The National Farm School, as it was then called, initially occupied 100 acres (0.4 km²), 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. Image File history File links Ram. ...
