About Moravian College

Moravian College is a private coeducational liberal arts college and seminary that was established by the merge of a male-only and a female-only institutes in 1954. The female institute was established in 1742 under the name of Bethlehem Female Seminary making it the first boarding school for female students in the United States. The institute was legally recognized as a college in 1863 by the Pennsylvania State Legislature. In 1913, the name of the college was changed to the Moravian Seminary and College for Women. Moravian College as a coeducational institute resulted from the merge from the Moravian Seminary and College for Women. The men’s institute, in turn, resulted from the merge of two boys’ schools that were established in 1742 and 1743. The two schools merged in 1759 to become Nazareth Hall which was converted in 1807 to Moravian College & Theological Seminary. The school was recognized in 1863 as a four-year college. It relocated in 1892 to Church Street in Bethlehem. In 1888, the college relocated again to its current campus which was funded by a donation from the Bethlehem Congregation of the Moravian Church.

Moravian Campus consists of two main parts, the North campus and the South campus. The North campus, which is currently the main campus, was formerly the location of the male institute. The South Campus in turn is the former campus of the female institute and is known as Priscilla Payne Hurd Campus. The two campuses are connected by 0.8 mile street which is known as the Moravian Mile. The campus offers several distinctive facilities as Brethren’s House, the President’s House, the Widow’s House, Clewell Hall, West Hall, South Hall and Comenius Hall. Many of the buildings on campus are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The college also operates two off-campus locations which are the Steel Field Complex and the St. Luke’s Hospital.

The college offers 31 academic programs in addition to self-designed majors and minors. It also offers more than 25 graduate and certificate programs.
