School Overview:

School Notes:

• As a liberal arts college, Muhlenberg offers programs in the humanities, the natural and social sciences, and in professional areas such as business, education, pre-medical, pre-theological, and pre-law studies. Flexibility is provided with sensitivity to the individual needs of the student through course options and opportunities for independent study, research and internships, as well as through a plan for self-designed majors. Through a process of long-range planning and constant review the college strives to keep its curriculum vital and current with the rapidly changing intellectual world. The excellence and integrity of the Muhlenberg program have been recognized by Phi Beta Kappa and by some 13 additional national honorary societies which have established chapters at the college.
• The College’s most important resource in the fulfillment of its purposes is its faculty, drawn from the major universities of the United States and several other nations. Although more than threequarters of the fulltime teaching faculty at Muhlenberg hold the Ph.D. degree, research and scholarship are undertaken with special regard to their relationship to teaching and learning.
• Muhlenberg's beautiful campus is nestled between elegant homes in the West End neighborhood of Allentown, PA, part of the popular Lehigh Valley. The campus sits on about 81 acres, and we also maintain a 40-acre arboretum and a 40-acre environmental field station/wildlife sanctuary.
• Muhlenberg’s academic program is accredited by all of the important and appropriate agencies, including the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the Department of Education of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the New York State Board of Regents. The College is on the approved list of the American Chemical Society. It is also a member of the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education, the College Entrance Examination Board, the Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities, and the National Collegiate Honors Council.
