School Notes:

  • Thiel College, an independent institution related to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and established in Western Pennsylvania in 1866 as a co-education institution, educates students in the liberal arts and professional studies for service to society.
  • Thiel College is a liberal arts, sciences and professional studies baccalaureate degreegranting college located on a beautiful, 135-acre, tree-lined campus in the heart of western Pennsylvania’s hill country.
  • 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.
