The early Moravians who founded our school viewed education as a sacred responsibility. They were guided by the wisdom of John Amos Comenius, a Moravian bishop who lived in 17th century Europe and is known as the Father of Modern Education. Comenius envisioned an education in which all would participate and an education that would allow each individual to develop fully in mind, body, and spirit.

That learning should be eye opening, heart racing, game-changing, and--most important--fun. When John Amos Comenius, a Moravian bishop, came up with that little theory back in the 1600s, he probably didn't expect to have such a significant impact. Turns out, we still agree with his philosophy. And we believe our students, like Comenius, can be a little revolutionary. They, too, can turn something seemingly small into something unique, unimaginable, and bigger than themselves. Welcome to your small chance--we know you're ready to turn it into a significant change. Go for it. Be a little revolutionary.

The Honors Program at Moravian College offers Seniors of proven ability the opportunity to pursue a year-long study of particular interest under the personal guidance of a faculty member who serves as the Honors Project Advisor.

Hey, we're not going to stop you. Moravian traces its origin to a girls' school founded in May 1742 by sixteen-year-old Countess Benigna von Zinzendorf. On an eighteen-month visit to the Moravian settlements in the New World with her father, Count Nicholas von Zinzendorf, the young countess was following a Moravian tradition that was already old in her time. The Moravian denomination roots go back to the Bohemian Protestant martyr John Hus, who died at stake in 1415. In 1457 the denomination was formally organized under Unitas Fratrum, "the Unity of the Brethren." The Brethren (later called the Moravians in the New World) gave the world the pioneer educator John Amos Comenius (1592-1670), who was one of their bishops. Benigna von Zinzendorf's school was the first girls' boarding school in America. It gained such a distinguished reputation that George Washington, during his second term as president of the United States, personally petitioned the headmaster to admission two of his great-nieces. As the school became known, the Bethlehem Female Seminary was chartered to grant baccalaureate degrees in 1863, and in 1913 became Moravian Seminary and College for Women. A boys' school was established in Bethlehem in July 1742, and another in nearby Nazareth in 1743. These schools merged in 1759 to form Nazareth Hall, an institution that survived until 1929. In 1807 a men's college and a theological seminary were established as an extension of Nazareth Hall. Moravian College and Theological Seminary moved to Bethlehem in 1858 and was chartered to grant baccalaureate degrees in 1863, the same year as the women's college. In 1954, after two centuries of separate development and growth, the women's and the men's institutions were combined to form a single coeducational college. Moravian Theological Seminary maintained a closely related but academically distinct identity as a graduate school of theology. As a result of the merger, Moravian College became the Lehigh Valley's first coeducational higher education institution. View full university
