History
SUNY Delhi was founded in 1913 as a small agriculture school by two women, Amelia & Elizabeth MacDonald. Then known as the State School of Agriculture & Domestic Science, the college served students from all over New York. In the late 1920s the college began offering more general education and added dormitory buildings. It was not until the 1960s that the institution expanded by offering more programs of study like business, refrigeration, construction, and veterinary technology. Delhi added several new academic buildings, more dorms, and a new dining hall. The college began offering bachelor's degrees in the early 2000s, and the physical campus expanded. The athletic program joined the NCAA Division III in 2018. The college now offers two master's degrees.Academics
