We know that classes and textbooks are only part of the equation, that’s why we’re focused on giving our students real, hands-on experiences to help them build up both their resume and their knowledge. We’re talking about studying abroad, internships, volunteer-work, leading across campus and more.
A community for you
Behind our doors lies a community of smart, innovative, passionate, curious, collaborative, and caring students. They come from different backgrounds, hold unique perspectives and each have their own talents to bring to the world.
A community of leaders
Connection is at the core of the Muhlenberg experience. From the moment our students arrive on campus, they’re encouraged to get involved in some of our 120+ student clubs and organizations. They have more than 177 campus events to add to their calendar. And, they have 500+ opportunities to lead.
A community that embraces diversity
We’re proud of our diverse student population. Our entire community is committed to advancing Muhlenberg’s mission to create a welcoming and inclusive campus. We’re doing this through educational workshops, cross cultural conversations and heritage month celebrations and resources like the Office of Multicultural Life (OML).
A community of opportunity
The Lehigh Valley is the fastest growing region of Pennsylvania, and that means opportunity is waiting around every corner. Our students are just a drive away from New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. – that means even more food, entertainment, history, culture, and hands-on learning experiences are right within reach.
