The Wescoe School of Muhlenberg College

For over 150 years, Muhlenberg College has been educating students in the liberal arts tradition. Seeing a need for evening study in our community, the College began offering adult education courses in 1910. Nearly a century later, the tradition of quality continues.

The Wescoe School strives to provide lifelong learners the opportunity to continue and enhance their education, and to do so in ways that recognize their experience, maturity, motivation, life circumstances and capacity for independent scholarship. By understanding the adult learner and knowing that it takes extra planning, support and flexibility to combine a busy schedule with the pursuit of a college degree, the Wescoe School works with their students to find the best program for them and to make the journey to attaining that degree a satisfying and enjoyable experience.

The Wescoe School offers more than 25 programs of study including Accelerated Degrees and Certificates, Traditional Liberal Arts Degrees, Major Certificates, and Teacher Certification. Caring academic advisors, all former adult students themselves, are here to help you explore alternatives and identify the course of study that best suits your academic and career objectives. Flexible and varied course offerings ensure that each student can plan a schedule that allows attention to his or her other home and work responsibilities.

The Wescoe School accepts transfer courses from similarly accredited community colleges and four year colleges/universities. While an official, sealed transcript will be required for formal transfer of credits, an unofficial transcript or grade report will be useful when you have your initial meeting with a Wescoe advisor. This will allow us to provide you with an understanding of which courses will be approved for transfer and outline an individualized pathway to completion of your degree. In addition to previous college coursework, we can also help identify alternative sources for credit such as CLEP testing, military service/training and Credit for Prior Learning (as recommended by American Council for Education standards). The Wescoe School has formal articulation agreements with Lehigh Carbon Community College and Northampton Community College to help students make an easy transition to continuing their evening/weekend studies here at Muhlenberg.
