2) DelVal graduates succeed in the real world because they have already been there.
Our Experience360 (E360) program is much more than an “internship” program. You will build your career from day one and throughout your undergraduate experience.

We should probably mention our football team. Our Aggies are one of the top Division III programs in the country with seven Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) championships. Go Aggies!
