Moravian University

Overview

Founded in 1742 in Bethlehem, PA, Moravian University (formerly Moravian College) offers students a private education they will not find anywhere else: personal attention and preparation for life with a record of success longer than our nation’s history. That's right, it is the 6th oldest college in the United States.

With small class sizes and expansive academics, Moravian University is both selective and accessible, rooted in an education-for-all inclusiveness that the founders pioneered. The first school to open its doors to women and today as an Apple Distinguished School, Moravian has constantly evolved over 280 years and now carries university recognition, reflecting the richness of the undergraduate, graduate, and research offerings.

Open to students of every background and faith, Moravian celebrates their historic roots in the Moravian Church and continues their founders' legacy of crossing borders and overcoming barriers. Located in charming Bethlehem and the picturesque Lehigh Valley of eastern Pennsylvania, Moravian is the place for those expecting a remarkably dedicated faculty, the latest technology, the warmest of spirits, and the power to truly transform your life.
