Moravian Value

Student lounge in the Sally

Why Moravian?

The value of a Moravian University education is more than just a number. It’s greater than our stellar career placement rate or adaptable education model. It’s more powerful than our network of active alumni spanning states and countries. It even outshines our lifetime career support and academic services.

Adapt today. Be prepared for tomorrow. Moravian has taken measures and implemented new policies and protocols to address the health and safety of everyone who comes to campus. We hope these measures will help you keep your academic progress moving forward, and looking ahead, prepare you for a fulfilling post-college career or continuation of your education at graduate school, medical school, law school, or wherever your path takes you.

Rest assured that while the Moravian University faculty and staff have made adjustments to keep everyone safe.  The Office of Student Life always works very hard to plan events and activities that make Moravian University so special. The Center for Career and Civic Engagement continues to help students land internships, host career fairs, and plan service trips throughout the academic year. The Student Success team is available to help students address any issues related to academics. The list goes on and on.

The true value of a Moravian degree—and the reason we’ve been around since 1742—is the revolutionary spirit that takes hold of our community. The personal interaction between students and faculty. The undergraduate research opportunities and hands-on approach to learning. It’s the belief that history can, and will, be made here.


At Moravian University, we believe in providing an accessible and engaging education for all—and that begins with our technology.

In 2018, Moravian University was named an Apple Distinguished School, a rare distinction for a college. Every incoming undergraduate student receives an Apple MacBook Pro and iPad to use during the course of their education at Moravian and to keep after graduation.

We have more than 40 Apple Teachers and one of only eight Apple Distinguished Educators in the Northeast United States. Our faculty members also use MacBooks and iPads and they participate in training and workshops that allow them to incorporate Apple technology into their classrooms and the online experience.

Thanks to our investment in technology, Moravian University’s educational experience is designed to be adaptable. Our campus is fully equipped with high-speed wireless internet, more than 100 Apple TVs in common areas and study spaces, and Zoom kits for remote access to classrooms. Whether our students are taking classes online or in-person, studying in Reeve’s Library or from their bedroom, their Apple technology will bring the classroom directly to them.


The classroom experience, just like industry work environments, has shifted to a new normal. The ability to leverage technology to work together is an increasingly important skill. Moravian University is considering this dramatic shift an opportunity to remain ahead of the curve in how we prepare our students for an ever-changing world.

To meet the needs of our community and keep everyone safe, Moravian offers four classroom modalities:

  • Online: Students and faculty participate in scheduled class lectures, join breakout rooms, engage in group discussion, and give virtual presentations via video chat and complete assignments remotely.
  • In-person: Students and faculty attend scheduled classes in person on Moravian’s campus.
  • Blended: Students and faculty participate in online class lectures and meet in person as breakout groups.
  • HyFlex: Students are given the option to attend class either in-person or online, while the faculty member is always present in the classroom on campus.

Some courses and labs do not lend themselves to the online platform and Moravian is committed to holding these classes in-person. Other courses can, in fact, benefit from an online or blended modality because of the increased flexibility and technology integration.

We’re raising the bar for online education on our campus. Moravian University is currently working closely with our partner Extension Engine to prepare faculty for the coming semester. They are helping faculty and departments imagine and achieve a higher-quality online learning experience.


Moravian’s Center for Career and Civic Engagement supports students (for life!) in the career development process through major and career exploration, experiential learning opportunities, and professional development.

Much of the typical “college experience” happens outside of the classroom. Whether it’s socializing with friends in the residence halls, participating in clubs and extracurriculars, enjoying a meal in the Star, or serving the community, Moravian students are making the most out of their time on campus.
