School Notes:

  • America’s sixth-oldest college, Moravian delivers a values-based liberal arts education in a caring environment, through which it nurtures in students the capacities for leadership, lifelong learning, and positive societal contributions.
  • Moravian College's campus has two beautiful, well-maintained sections. Priscilla Payne Hurd Campus on Church Street is the center of the Bethlehem historic district; the Main Street campus is eight blocks away in a residential area. Vans allow students to commute easily between campuses. Thirty buildings include the Collier Hall of Science, Comenius Hall, Haupert Union Building, Reeves Library, Foy Concert Hall, Payne Art Gallery, and the Brethren’s House.
  • Moravian College's strong basic curriculum assures that each student will have a foundation on which to build, to continue learning throughout life, and to make informed choices about how to live. Moravian is committed to the highest quality of undergraduate education, and helping students achieve their goals is at the core of our mission. Their priorities are ours—and we succeed to the extent that they do.
  • Moravian College celebrates the work of John Amos Comenius, a pioneer of modern education and bishop of the College’s founding church, who taught that intellectual and physical development and the cultivation of beliefs and values are inseparable from one’s personal and vocational aspirations.
  • Moravian College is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and approved for professional preparation by the American Chemical Society, by the Committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation of the American Medical Association through the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences, by the Department of Education of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and by the National Association of Schools of Music.
