STUDY ABROAD DESTINATIONS ACROSS THE GLOBE
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 study abroad trip into your Elevate experience!
GLOBAL GREYHOUND TRIP
Once you’re a sophomore, you’ll be eligible to participate in a study abroad opportunity, or, as we like to call it, a “Global Greyhound Trip.” Your Elevate experience includes funding for a short-term travel course or experience led by Moravian faculty and staff to an international destination of your choice! You can choose your trip by location or course topic—for example, you can learn about biodiversity and sustainability in Costa Rica or study archaeology in Israel. All trips are open to every major, but some might have additional requirements, such as a language proficiency or prerequisites. Here’s a sampling of where our students traveled in recent years: • Austria • Costa Rica • Czech Republic
• France • Germany • Honduras
• Italy • Spain • Tanzania
SEE THE WORLD
And if you want to take your education even further, consider traveling abroad for an entire semester, taking an Alternative Spring Break trip to volunteer, or interning internationally. The world is yours to discover.

The Stars
Shine Bright in Bethlehem, PA
Located along the East Coast of the United States, Moravian University calls Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, home. Moravian is actually two campuses, famously linked by the Moravian Mile of Main Street that runs right through the historic downtown. Moravian University’s feel is entwined with that of Bethlehem, carrying both the resilience of its steel-town lore and the lightness of the window candles that glow each night in Moravian tradition.
CULTURE
Bethlehem pulses with concerts, restaurants, arts, and all the local appeal of a college town. Yet it also sits in just the right spot for an easy drive to New York City, Philadelphia, or Washington, DC. Known as the Christmas City, Bethlehem is so regarded for its history that it’s been added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site shortlist, hoping to join such historic sites as Independence Hall, the Statue of Liberty, and the pyramids of Egypt. 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! 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.

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.

Take a Photo at the Big Chair Right outside Jo Smith Hall sits the Big Chair.

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!

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.
