Muhlenberg College is a liberal arts institution with an undergraduate enrollment of nearly 2,000 students located in Allentown, Pennsylvania, about 55 miles north of Philadelphia. Muhlenberg challenges and supports students as they journey from exploration to experience to expertise. The College's innovative curriculum integrates a liberal arts education with the skills and capacities necessary to make an impact in our increasingly complex world.
The core of a Muhlenberg education is built on content areas that span disciplines, allowing students' curiosity and creativity to take the lead. Muhlenberg offers 41 majors and 38 minors, including a range of career-oriented majors such as accounting, business administration, media & communication, public health and more. The College is known for its strong preprofessional programs in prehealth, predental and prelaw. Academic partnerships with institutions like the University of Pennsylvania, American University and Boston University provide pathways to advanced degrees in medical professions, law, business and public health.
Each first-year student has a personalized coaching team — a college life coach, a career coach and a faculty advisor — to provide guidance and foster a sense of belonging as they adjust to life at Muhlenberg.
Guiding students along their journey is the Muhlenberg Action Plan (MAP), a program that helps students explore their passions and find their post-graduate path. It serves as a roadmap for students beginning in their first year and continuing until graduation.
