| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
 |
Muhlenberg College is an independent, undergraduate,coeducational institution affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Founded in 1848 to provide a liberal arts education in the Christian humanistic tradition, Muhlenberg is committed to high standards of academic integrity and excellence.
The College is located in Allentown, Pennsylvania, approximately 55 miles north of Philadelphia and 90 miles west of New York City. 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.
Most significant in its tradition are the historic ties between the College and the Lutheran
Church. The name Muhlenberg College was adopted in honor of the "patriarch" of the Lutheran Church in America, Henry Melchior Muhlenberg. The sons of Henry Melchior Muhlenberg made important contributions to the early life of our country. General John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg wintered at Valley Forge with George Washington; Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg was the first speaker of the United States House of Representatives; and Henry Ernst Muhlenberg was one of the most eminent early American scientists and the first President of Franklin College, now Franklin and Marshall College. |
