Athletics Overview
Delaware Valley competes in NCAA Division III, where sports focus on personal development rather than big-money athletics and scholarships. The Aggies field 24 varsity teams with 466 total athletes, meaning roughly 28% of the 1,644-student body participates in varsity athletics. This high participation rate reflects the school's tight-knit community atmosphere. Delaware Valley competes in the Middle Atlantic Conferences alongside other regional institutions. The school's agricultural roots show in their "Aggies" nickname, connecting to their historic focus on farming and life sciences. With no athletic scholarships available, student-athletes choose DelVal for academics first and athletics second. The suburban Doylestown campus provides a supportive environment where athletes can balance rigorous science programs with competitive sports.
