Hello from Moravian University!
We’re excited to be a part of your college search process and can’t wait to show you what makes Moravian such a special place. As the Fastest-Growing University in the Region, we’ve seen a 51% increase in full-time enrollment since 2014—a reflection of our commitment to delivering a truly transformative education.
With over 280 years of history, Moravian continues to grow and evolve. Now proudly recognized as a university, we’re known nationally for our academic excellence—ranked by The Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report. We’re also an Apple Distinguished School, providing incoming undergraduate and transfer students with a MacBook Pro, iPad, Apple Pencil, and Apple Watch—tools that power an innovative and collaborative learning environment and that level the technology playing field for all of our students. And with 98% of our Class of 2024 employed or in graduate school within 10 months of graduation, your future is in good hands here.
At Moravian, we believe in supporting the whole student. Wellness is a vital part of life here, woven into everything we do.

From free on-campus counseling to our 10,000-square-foot fitness center, you’ll have access to the resources you need to thrive.
And there’s even more to look forward to. Opening in fall 2025, our brand-new, $42 million, state-of-the-art student center—affectionately called the HUB—will become the heart of student life at Moravian. Designed with your success and wellness in mind, the HUB will feature the enhanced Laurie Riley ’82 Center for Career Success, an updated Health and Counseling Center, a vibrant Student Organization Suite, and a dedicated Mindfulness Suite for study or relaxation.
Nestled in the vibrant college town of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Moravian offers everything you’re looking for: inspiring faculty, the latest technology, a welcoming community, and an experience that will truly shape your life. And with 100% of incoming freshmen and transfer students receiving financial aid, we’re committed to making your education accessible.

Gain a Global Perspective
Our Center for Global Education is dedicated to breaking down the borders of your education and expanding your horizons far beyond the Lehigh Valley.
Moravian believes that all of its students should get to experience the world—and employers need you to be ready to live and work in a world that demands a global perspective. That’s why we built funding for a short-term travel program into your Elevate experience!
GLOBAL GREYHOUND TRAVEL PROGRAM
Once you have completed two consecutive semesters (two 16-week semesters: fall and spring), you’ll be eligible to participate in an education abroad opportunity, or, as we like to call it, a Global Greyhound Travel Program. Your Elevate experience includes funding for a short-term travel course with a group of fellow Moravian students to an international destination of your choice! All travel programs are led by Moravian faculty and staff.
You can choose your travel program by location or course topic—for example, you can learn about biodiversity and sustainability in Costa Rica or study archaeology in Israel. All travel programs are open to every major, but some might have additional requirements, such as a language proficiency.
Here’s a sampling of where our students traveled in recent years:
• Costa Rica
• Czech Republic
• France
• Germany
SEE THE WORLD
• Greece
• Honduras • Italy
• Jamaica
And if you want to take your education even further, consider traveling abroad for an entire semester, taking an Alternative Break Service trip to volunteer, or interning internationally. The world is yours to discover.

• South Korea
• Spain

Career Goals, Realized
Your Moravian undergraduate experience, Elevate, ensures you’re not just ready for graduation, but ready to lead with confidence and impact.
“The Elevate badging process helped me get out of my comfort zone and grow professionally. It’s opened my eyes to the experiences that helped me expand my résumé and prepared me for my future.”
—Anastacia Faisetty ’25

MEET YOUR CAREER SUCCESS TEAM
Every undergraduate student is paired with a dedicated career success team—your personal go-to resource from day one through graduation. Together, you’ll explore your career goals, make confident decisions, and uncover opportunities like internships, job shadowing, and networking with industry professionals. We’ll also help you build a strong career toolkit so you’re ready to take on anything that comes next.
BUILD YOUR DIGITAL RÉSUMÉ
Your Elevate experience is going to prepare you for a successful life after graduation, but how will you summarize your four years of college on your résumé? Can you showcase all that you’ve accomplished and learned in your job interviews or grad school applications?
Moravian University’s Career Readiness Digital Badges, offered by the Laurie Riley ’82 Center for Career Success, have you covered, providing the perfect way for you to articulate your Elevate experience and stand out to potential employers or graduate schools.
OUR CAREER PROMISE
If you complete all eight badges by the end of your senior year, hold at least a 2.70 GPA, and are not employed or enrolled in graduate school within one year of graduating, you may qualify for financial support to help pay off your student loans and free enrollment in select undergraduate or graduate courses. And, of course, Moravian will always provide continued support with networking, job opportunities, résumé updates, and professional development.

The 1742 Experience is a pre-orientation program that offers an opportunity for students to focus on service in the community. This hands-on learning program brings students to campus one week early to build relationships with classmates who share a commitment to service while honing their leadership skills.
HERITAGE DAY
Heritage Day is a celebration of Moravian tradition, community, and service. For one school day during the fall semester, students, faculty, and staff gather to serve their community. Heritage Day is an opportunity for us to learn about the founders of Moravian University and our cultural heritage.

We support a university culture where all students, faculty, and staff members can thrive through meaningful engagement, academic success, and a sense of belonging.
Grounded in reflection, collaboration, and shared responsibility, we work across the institution to prepare our community to learn, lead, and live in a diverse and interconnected world.

THE CENTER FOR FIRSTGENERATION STUDENTS
The Center for First-Generation Students (First Hounds) provides a supportive and welcoming community at Moravian University for firstgeneration college students and their family members. You are considered a first-generation student if neither of your parents completed a four-year college or university bachelor’s degree program in the United States. Moravian established this center because we recognize that being the first in your family to go to a four-year college can be tough— you’ll have a lot of questions and new experiences. We’re here to guide you through.

The Stars Shine Bright in Bethlehem, PA
Nestled in Pennsylvania’s scenic Lehigh Valley, Moravian University is proud to call Bethlehem home. With several colleges and universities in the area, the valley has a vibrant, welcoming college-town feel that’s perfect for learning and exploring.
Moravian’s campus is truly one of a kind, with distinct north and south ends connected by the iconic Moravian Mile, a Main Street stretch that runs right through historic downtown and was designated the No. 1 Main Street by USA Today in 2025.
CULTURE
Bethlehem pulses with concerts, restaurants, arts, and all the local appeal of a college town—plus it’s an easy drive to New York City, Philadelphia, or Washington, DC. In 2024, Moravian Church Settlements–Bethlehem was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of a global network. Several buildings on our university’s South Campus are included in this prestigious designation, placing us alongside global landmarks like the Great Wall of China and the Pyramids of Giza.
SAFETY
The safety of our students is a top priority at Moravian. The Moravian University Campus Police work to maintain a safe and secure environment for everyone and are always available to help, should the need arise. We also offer 24-hour escort and daily shuttle services, as well as emergency blue-light phones throughout campus.
WEATHER
The Lehigh Valley experiences all four seasons to the fullest. Fall brings crisp sweater weather and colorful leaves. Winter cloaks our campus in snow. Spring offers rain and blooming flowers. And summer is sunny and warm. Every season brings a little something different to Bethlehem, and we love it!

You can’t have a history spanning more than 280 years without establishing a few traditions along the way. And we take ours seriously!

When you attend an Accepted Students Day at Moravian University and make your commitment to being a Greyhound, you’ll have the chance to play Pop ’n’ Shop and win Moravian merch!
2. Walk the Moravian Mile
The distance between the north and south campuses, about 0.8 mile, is known as the Moravian Mile. As part of orientation, firstyear students traditionally walk the Mile between campuses, through Historic Bethlehem on their way. Once their time at Moravian University is complete, graduating seniors take part in the “Backwards Walk,” traveling the Moravian Mile as they did in their first year, but this time in reverse.

Enjoy Family Weekend
Does your mom text you every day? Are you wishing you could pet your dog? Craving some home cooking? Invite all your favorite family members to campus for Family Day in the fall. You’ll have the opportunity to tailgate with your family and friends and cheer on the Greyhounds at a football game.
6. Participate in Heritage Day
One day each fall, all classes are canceled so the Moravian community can come together to participate in Heritage Day—a campus-wide community service event. As a participant, you’ll learn about Moravian University’s history and give back to the Lehigh Valley community!

Take a Photo at the Big Chair
Right outside Jo Smith Hall sits the Big Chair. Aside from Comenius Hall, this may be the most popular photo-shoot destination on campus—think graduation, athletic events, or just a beautiful fall afternoon. Find yourself a personal photographer and strike your best pose.

Build a Snowman
During the first big snowfall of the year, be on the lookout for an announcement about the president’s annual Snowman Competition. This is your chance to throw on some gloves and create your best work of snowy art.

Sled Down Makuvek Field
In the past, Moravian students would “borrow” trays from the cafeteria so they could sled down the hill at John Makuvek Field. Nowadays, Moravian is a trayless campus, but you can keep this winter tradition alive by trading in a meal swipe for a sled at the HUB Desk!
15. Attend Christmas Vespers
There’s no better way to get in the holiday spirit than by taking a stroll through downtown Bethlehem to the Moravian Church for a Moravian University Christmas Vespers performance. This candlelight ceremony is a well-loved winter tradition in the Christmas City.

Give a MoPaw
Say “thank you” to someone who has had a positive influence on your life, in ways both big and small, by giving them a MoPaw with a handwritten note on the back.

Pet Dogs on Campus
Moravian is a dog-friendly campus, and many staff members bring their four-legged friends to work. Take a minute to stop and greet one of our pups or take part in our stressbuster events we offer with therapy dogs— it’ll be sure to recharge your day!

Invest in Your Brilliance
Yes, you and your family can afford a private education at Moravian University thanks to a powerful mix of scholarships, payment plans, and career-focused outcomes.
100% Receive Aid
LAST YEAR, 100% OF FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS RECEIVED A GRANT OR SCHOLARSHIP THAT THEY WON’T HAVE TO REPAY.
THE VALUE OF A MORAVIAN DEGREE moravian.edu/affordability
Your Moravian education is a four-year investment that will pay off for a lifetime to come. It includes an Apple MacBook Pro, iPad, Apple Pencil, and Apple Watch for every student, a short-term travel program at little to no extra cost, and guaranteed real-world experience no matter your major.
DON’T LET THE “STICKER PRICE” SCARE YOU!
The average annual cost for a Moravian student is significantly less than our “sticker price.” But how is this possible? Well, your actual cost is the amount left over after scholarships, grants, work-study, and loans have been applied. Apply for admission and financial aid to find out what your actual cost will be!
SETTING YOU UP FOR FINANCIAL SUCCESS
You may be wondering what life—and your bank account—will look like after you graduate from Moravian. The answer may surprise you! According to the US Department of Education’s College Scorecard, at 10 years after entering Moravian University, the median earnings of former students who received federal financial aid are $64,389. This is above the average amount for graduates of four-year colleges.
Paying for College: You Have Options
College is a big investment, and at Moravian University, we’re here to help make it more affordable. Beyond the FAFSA, we offer multiple options that can be combined to create a payment plan tailored to your needs.
OUTSIDE SCHOLARSHIPS
There are so many ways to earn free money for college—and every dollar makes a difference! Keep an eye out for scholarships from foundations, businesses, clubs, religious groups, and other organizations. These outside sources can really help cover costs—and we’re happy to recommend some to get you started.
LOANS
Loans can help fill the gap between the financial aid or scholarships you’ve received and the remaining cost of your education. Not sure which loan is right for you? Moravian will help you sort through your options and find what works best for you.
MILITARY AND VETERAN BENEFITS
Moravian’s Veteran and Military Services team is here to help you make the most of your military education benefits. We’re a proud partner of the US Department of Veterans Affairs and a participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program. That means if you’re eligible, you could attend Moravian without paying any tuition!
