Moravian College

Moravian College is a private liberal arts college in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The college is associated with Moravian Theological Seminary and traces its founding to 1742 by Moravians, descendants of followers of the Bohemian Reformation (John Amos Comenius) though it did not receive a charter to grant baccalaureate degrees until 1863. The most popular majors are health sciences, business, sociology, psychology, and biological sciences.

Moravian College currently enrols about 1,700 full-time undergraduate students in a wide variety of majors, all of which are presented in the liberal arts tradition. The seminary enrols over 100 full-time students in its graduate divinity programs. During most semesters, at least 14 denominations are represented in the seminary student body.

Faith communities most often represented among the seminary's students include Moravian, Lutheran, UCC, Episcopal, United Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Roman Catholic, Quaker, Mennonite, Unitarian Universalist, African Methodist Episcopal, Assembly of God, Brethren, Reformed, and nondenominational. The college's varied and highly regarded music programs grow from the Moravian Church's musical traditions.

Moravian College's student news site is The Comedian, which is published online throughout the school year.

Every year, the student body elects representatives to the United Student Government. USG has a legislature, composed of 16 senators from the undergraduate body, an executive, including an elected president and vice president, appointed cabinet and staff, and a judiciary, composed of appointed justices. USG was officially recognized in 1968.

In 2016, the Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Center opened at 1441 Schoenersville Road, across from Betty Prince Field. The 43,000+ ft2 building is the home of the college’s Master of Science in Athletic Training program, Doctor of Athletic Training (DAT), as well as the future Master of Science in Occupational Therapy, Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology, and Doctor of Physical Therapy programs — positioning Moravian College as one of just three liberal arts colleges in the country to house these programs under one roof.

About 10,000 square feet of the building are designated for St. Luke’s University Health Network. The facility includes six research labs, student collaboration areas, a distance- learning classroom, and 14 faculty offices.
