You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Delaware Valley University''' ('''DelVal''') is a [[private university]] in [[Doylestown, Pennsylvania]]. Founded in 1896, it enrolls approximately 1,900 students on its suburban, 570-acre campus.<ref>((cite web|title=US News Rankings |url=http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/delaware-valley-college-3252|work=U.S. News & World Report))</ref> DelVal offers more than 28 undergraduate majors, seven master's programs, a doctoral program, and adult education courses.

==History==
Delaware Valley University opened in 1896 as the '''National Farm School''' and offered a three-year curriculum teaching "science with practice"<ref>((cite web|title=WFMZ News|last1=WFMZ News|url=http://www.wfmz.com/news/news-regional-southeasternpa/Local/delaware-college-will-beome-a-university-in-april/30119466))</ref> on the school's own farm in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Its founder and first president, [[Joseph Krauskopf]], was an activist [[Reform Judaism|Reform]] [[rabbi]] who, inspired by discussions with [[Leo Tolstoy]], hoped to train [[Jewish]] immigrants to the United States as farmers. In its early years the school's main private funder was the Federation of Jewish Charities of Philadelphia, but the institution also received funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and was open to men from all ethnic and religious backgrounds. It first admitted women in 1969.<ref name="History">((cite web|title=History|url=http://www.delval.edu/about-delval/history|website=Delaware Valley College|access-date=2014-11-14))</ref><ref name="Jewish Encyclopedia">((cite book|title=Jewish Encyclopedia|date=1906|url=http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/11381-national-farm-school|access-date=2014-11-14))</ref>

The school opened with only two teachers and eight students, but by 1904 under the directorship of [[John Hosea Washburn]] enrollment had grown to 45. Following the [[Second World War]], the school became a four-year college and added additional academic programs, changing its name to '''Delaware Valley College of Science and Agriculture''' (1960). It added its first graduate programs in 1998.<ref name="History"/><ref name="Jewish Encyclopedia"/>

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.

In December 2014, the college was granted university status.  A few months later, its name changed to '''Delaware Valley University''' on April 8, 2015.<ref>((cite web|url=http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2014/12/05/delaware-valley-college-granted-university-status/|title=Delaware Valley College Granted University Status|date=5 December 2014|access-date=5 February 2018))</ref>

== Enrollment ==

== Academics ==
The university is organized into four schools and colleges: School of Agriculture and Environmental Science, School of Life and Physical Science, School of Business and Humanities, and School of Graduate and Professional Studies.

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 university's legacy of linking theoretical learning with practical training. Each department at the university is incorporating E360 into its curriculum.<ref>((cite web|title=YouTube|website = [[YouTube]]|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2CD9Wwm1p4 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/u2CD9Wwm1p4 |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live))((cbignore))</ref>
