Increasing enrollment and retaining students is also a priority for Delhi, Smith said. Applications for fall were up 18 percent as of July 3. Deposits, which indicate student commitment, were up 7 percent, Smith said. Delhi is also developing educational programs for adult students already working full time. Delhi offers Weekend College in Nursing and is planning to introduce a Weekend College for Veterinary Science Technology, Smith said.
Local students can complete the first year of the program at Delhi before moving on to Canton.
A similar agreement allows travel and tourism majors to study for one year at Canton and then come to Delhi to complete an associate's degree. Greenfield said, overall, the future of the college looks bright, but funding is always an issue. Too many times, people think the only way to get a job is with a four-year degree. The Daily Star.
