Muhlenberg College
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaMuhlenberg College is a private liberal arts college located in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in the United States.
Founded in 1848, Muhlenberg is historically affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, but maintains a religiously diverse student body. The college is named for Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, the patriarch of the Lutheran Church in America.
In 2008, the college was ranked #71 among liberal arts colleges by U.S. News & World Report. In addition, Princeton Review lists Muhlenberg on their list of most "Homogeneous Student Population," (#6) "Best College Theater," (#6) and "Best Northeastern Colleges."
Muhlenberg College is one of two four-year colleges located in Allentown; Cedar Crest College is also located in the city.
History
Muhlenberg College was initially established in 1848 as the Allentown Seminary by Reverend Samuel K. Brobst, a Reformed Lutheran minister. Reverend Christian Rudolph Kessler was the school's first teacher and administrator. Between 1848 and 1867, the entity that is today Muhlenberg College operated as the Allentown Seminary, the Allentown Collegiate and Military Institute and the Allentown Collegiate Institute. In 1867, the college moved into Trout Hall, the former mansion of William Allen's son, James Allen, and was renamed after Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, the patriarch of the Lutheran Church in America. Muhlenberg's great-grandson, Reverend Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg, served as president of the college from 1867 to 1876. In 1905, the college purchased and relocated to a tract located in Allentown's West End, the site of today's campus.

College Advice |
Question: Is muhlenberg college good?I heard alot about this school but im not sure if its a good school or not, hows the campus? And if anyone who actually goes/went there could give me some insight. What type of grades/sats/act do i need to get in? Is it selective? sorry for the questions just curious! THANKS :D10 months ago
Best AnswerSome friends of mine go there now and they really like it! One of them had like a 3.2 GPA and low SAT scores and the other had a low GPA but good SAT's. Check out this site from The College Board, they have just about everything you asked. http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?match=true&collegeId=1328&searchType=college&type=qfs&word=muhlenberg%20college |
Question: High school going to Senior Muhlenberg college, how good is it?Ok so I think I might go to this private Liberal arts college in PA, an some one tell me how good it is? they say they are good and whats the difference between a Liberal arts and a regular college.27 months ago
Best AnswerMuhlenberg is a high-ranked Liberal Arts College, that is, a school that offers a degree in many subjects. A regular college is generally a compositional unit of a larger University. The college would specialize in the education of a certain subject. So, there could be a college of business, a college of music and a college of landscape architecture within University X. Moving on, Muhlenberg was my top choice school. I loved the campus. It was small, out of the way, and sooo friendly. They are also accepting of minority students, and people of different lifestyles. They offer need-based financial aid, and will work to provide as much money as they can, given your specific situation, to get you an education at their institution. Aside from my biased opinion, the facts are: the school is highly selective, they have a great theater/drama program and they are very involved in giving back to the community. If you wanted to know, I got waitlisted, and haven't heard back from them. I do however, wish you the best of luck, and assure you that Muhlenberg is a great school. Keep looking around though! |
