Hello everyone, I'm moving to Bethlehem, PA soon and am considering colleges in the area. Can anyone recommend some good institutions there? Thanks!
Sure, there are quite a few higher education institutions in and around Bethlehem, PA you might consider. Right in Bethlehem, you've got two excellent institutions, Lehigh University and Moravian College.
Lehigh University is well-known for its engineering disciplines, as well as strong programs in Business and Management, Biology, and Psychology. Its strong ties with industries mean that many students secure internships and work experience before graduation.
Moravian College, on the other hand, is a smaller, liberal arts institution, which offers a range of disciplines in areas from Health Professions to Education and Social Sciences. It's a good fit if you prefer a more intimate classroom experience with a smaller student-to-faculty ratio.
If you're open to looking a little further afield (within an hour's drive), there are additional options like Lafayette College in Easton, which offers well-regarded programs in fields such as Engineering, Social Sciences, and Physical Sciences.
Another option is Muhlenberg College in Allentown, known for its strong programs in Social Sciences, Drama and Dance, and Business/Managerial Economics.
Be sure to explore all these options and consider which institution aligns with your academic interests, career goals, and personal preferences.
