Read What Students Are SayingThe classes offer a good level of work and challenge that makes sure you will not be forgetting any of it soon.
Jossette from Erie, PA
I have completed my first semester here at Delaware Valley College and have learned so much already. The core classes like English 1 and Chemistry 1 tuned up my skills from high school in each of those areas. My major-specific courses were very interesting and the teachers taught all of the material in a way that we students could absorb it.
Shannon from Mount Airy, MD
Awsome campus! Would love to go there. Offer exactly what I want.
Elizabeth from Bath, PA
A beautiful campus with all types of animals on campus and a student run farm. Great teachers and staff. Many clubs and activities to chose from.
Amber from Folcroft, PA
I am the happiest little zoo science student in the world here at Delaware Valley College. Our tight-knit community, fantastic learning environment, and people who have the same dreams as me have made the transition to college more manageable than I ever dreamed!
Celina from Hamden, CT
I have already met with a few of the teachers (teachers from my major and those not from my major) all of which have been great to speak with. They seem so intelligent and willing to share their knowledge with everyone. They seem so close and friendly with the students, building great relationships, that it is impossible not to learn anything.
Savannah from New Tripoli, PA
DVC is a wonderful school if you are an animal major and like a country environment close to a city. The people here really do care for each other and the hands-on experience is incredible. Everyone can find a program to join here without trying hard.
Cassandra from Quakertown, PA
Classes are small size so you are able to have more access to professors and they are very willing to help.
Jennifer from Oxford, PA
They are one of the few private institutions in Pennsylvania that has a real pre-veterinarian medicine program. I have researched a lot of colleges and most just throw their pre-vet students in with the pre-med students and really make you go out of your way to build your own curriculum to apply to a certain veterinarian college. Veterinarian Medicine is a very competitive field so having a program that will let you apply to multiple vet schools after graduation is awesome! They not only have animal science as a major but they have zoology, large and small animal science, equine science, and so much more! This is the best school to attend if you are into pursuing a major in any animal related field.
