Moravian University sits in Bethlehem proper — a private campus woven into the city rather than walled off from it. The school maintains its Moravian Church affiliation, which threads through campus life to a degree that varies by program.
Its highest-earning path is Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing, where graduates median $88,293 four years out. 31.9% of undergraduates carry Pell grants — a plain read on who the campus actually serves. With 1,949 undergraduates and a residential core, weekends happen on campus — and 79.2% of first-years come back for a second year.
Submitters admitted here typically landed between 1060 and 1230 — below the PA middle for four-year schools. Put your own practice estimate on Moravian University's range with the SAT calculator, or bring a saved GPA from the grade tools.
Admissions
In the Fall 2023 cycle, Moravian University received 5,115 applications and admitted 2,762 (54%), with 515 enrolling.
Scores help here but aren't the gate. If your SAT sits inside the 1060–1230 submitter range, sending it likely helps; below it, Moravian University's own policy says you can leave it out.
