Moravian University might be the sixth-oldest college in the US, but its all-encompassing approach to education is built for the future. Established in 1742, this quaint campus at the heart of historic Bethlehem, Pennsylvania has stayed true to its motto – “Via Lucis” (The way of light) — to illuminate the path of many graduates in unleashing their inner brilliance.
The university’s reputation and heritage precede its name. Moravian is listed in Wall Street Journal’s 2022 Best Colleges in the US list and is praised as a quality educational stronghold in the Northeast by various national media outlets. Here, students from all walks of life have equal opportunities to craft their roadmap towards success under the guidance of expert advisors.
Moravian has always been ahead of its time. Beginning as a women’s seminary, it was the first American college to open its doors to women, and later transformed into a co-educational institution that educates students globally. Today, its academic finesse boasts more than 70 undergraduate majors and minors, and over 45 graduate degrees and certificates in multiple areas of study.
Students can choose from popular degrees such as Business Management or Computer Science, or tap into their creativity with art degrees such as Graphic Design and Interactive Design. Presently, there are around 1,900 undergraduate and 600 postgraduate students enrolled. With an 11:1 student-to-faculty ratio, each student is made to stand out among accomplished peers.

What makes for a satisfying university experience? Ask anyone who has undergone the travails of campus life, and many will likely respond that academics is only a fraction of the overall equation. Entering university is a rite of passage into independent inquiry for students to confidently mature as conscientious adults who are ready to make a change in the world.
At Moravian, students participate in the ELEVATE experience, a holistically transformative journey throughout all four years of their undergraduate studies. Each component of ELEVATE is carefully crafted with a student’s future trajectory in mind to maximise their potential for success post-graduation. Grounded in the university’s unique liberal arts approach, the Moravian undergraduate journey revolves around four core elements: Teamwork and Leadership, Global Experience, Work Experience, and Career Support.
Charismatic leaders are tempered through collaborative work at Moravian to simulate the work environment in real-life settings. Moravian’s emphasis on instilling leadership skills within its students is buttressed by expansion into global perspectives in and out of classrooms, in addition to numerous work opportunities and comprehensive career support. Students have the freedom to mould their four-year journey with thorough guidance to prepare them for the professional world.
As if that isn’t enough, Moravian offers another incentive to excel in school: all incoming students will receive an Apple MacBook Pro computer and an iPad after their offer of admission is accepted. Recognised as an Apple Distinguished School since 2018, Moravian levels the playing field to provide accessible education for all in the era of digital learning, which is especially crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic. The best part? Students get to keep their devices even after their graduation.
A robust support system

Without sage advice and a supportive environment, knowledge cannot take root and germinate within any pupil. That’s why Moravian’s ELEVATE undergraduate experience comes with a cadre of advising teams from various fields to help you realise your natural brilliance into its full capacity.
From the very moment students step foot into the university, the advising team will assist in effectively planning their four years for graduate success. Each student will be assigned a Student Success Advisor to work on selecting courses, understanding degree requirements, and transitioning to university life. Faculty advisors are available on deck for better insights into a student’s intended major pathway as well.
Moravian students don’t have to sweat about preparedness for the workplace. The Centre for Career and Civic Engagement is peerless in empowering students with skills and meaningful participation in community-based learning that teaches them commitment and accountability. Meanwhile, career strategists will help students kick off their career exploration through assistance such as resume-building and landing experiential opportunities to better their prospects after graduation.
With an inspirational campus setting at Historic Bethlehem — a UNESCO World Heritage site shortlist contender — life as a Moravian student is never lacking in excitement. Its proximity to New York City, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia makes this small college town the perfect location for a little bit of quiet while still connected to major cities.
