- Thiel is dedicated to helping you acquire the knowledge and skills needed to take the next step in your life plan. It’s a place where professors are highly accessible and more involved in your growth and learning than at most colleges, not only because of our low student- to-faculty ratio, but because they really care. Our small size makes it possible for you to carve out your own special place — both in and out of class. You can become a leader of one — or more — of our 21 intercollegiate sports teams. At Thiel you’ll find 50 organizations, clubs and honor societies to interest you.
- Thiel College is accredited by Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools; Pennsylvania Department of Education; Committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation; American Chemical Society.
