Programs of Study

With more than 70 majors and minors, 50 graduate programs, and a dedicated theological seminary, Moravian students have the freedom and support to explore their passions.


Elevate Your Education

Moravian University’s distinctive undergraduate experience, Elevate, begins with an extraordinary commitment to students and ends with the promise of a successful future—a career you love. Your Elevate undergraduate experience is all-encompassing—it’s four years of challenging academics, engaging student life, global perspectives, hands-on career exploration and support, and the latest Apple technology. Every aspect is designed with your future in mind; we asked employers, alumni, and students just like you for input on what skills and experiences they think Moravian graduates should have. Employers asked for real-world work experience, leadership and teamwork skills, communication, diverse perspectives, and more. We answered with Elevate, a game-changing, career-focused education that prepares you for what comes next. We promise this education is an investment that will pay off.


Undergraduate Research

At Moravian University, we prioritize hands-on learning and believe research opportunities should not be confined to an academic program or degree type. Our undergraduate students can dive right into research projects with senior faculty members, so they can explore their areas of interest right from the start.


Experiential Learning

The academic opportunities at Moravian University span far beyond the classroom. Our students have participated in ecological research in Oregon, received Fulbright Fellowships to teach for a year in Spain, and spent their summers interning at Tiffany's & Co. Where will Moravian take you?

Study Abroad

Moravian offers faculty-led study abroad programs, plus partnerships with exchange programs and international institutions. Go abroad for a few weeks, a whole semester, or even a year.

Internships

With a focus on experiential learning, Moravian University is committed to helping students pursue internships, externships, and co-ops that will enhance their educational experience.

Humanities Fellows

Supports the talents and interests of students who have passion for both the humanities and social justice, and who wish to make this central to their Moravian experience.


Advising & Support

Moravian University offers services dedicated to improving academic accessibility, supporting faculty in advising efforts, and developing programs to improve student writing, learning, and engagement.
