The College traces its founding to 1742 by followers of John Amos Comenius, the 17th century Moravian bishop whose humanistic ideals helped to shape modern education. Those ideals that learning should be available to all, that teaching should be in accord with human nature, and that education should be applied to practical uses, are much in evidence at Moravian. Today, the College enrolls students from a great variety of socioeconomic, religious, racial, and ethnic backgrounds; provides for highly personalized learning experiences; and offers many opportunities for students to direct their education toward individual and professional goals. It expresses its Moravian heritage in musical and artistic programs of great distinction, which are shared with the Bethlehem community. Together with its cultural offerings, Moravian's handsome historic campuses, the community service of its undergraduates, and its programs of graduate and professional education for adults make it a valued part of the fabric of Bethlehem. Its Moravian Theological Seminary, an ecumenical learning community preparing men and women for Christian leadership, is a global resource. 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. It has 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 institution of higher education. This college campus has two beautiful, well-maintained sections. Priscilla Payne Hurd Campus on Church Street is the center of the Bethlehem historic district; the Main Street campus is eight blocks away in a residential area. Campus vast 85-acre campus located in historic Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (population 75,000) 90 miles west of New York City and 60 miles north of Philadelphia, in the heart of the Lehigh Valley.
