Application information

First-year

We consider each application carefully, and read it within a “whole person” context. Every application is important, because every member of our community contributes to our special culture of diversity, curiosity and connectedness. While it is not required (except for the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine 3-4 BioDental Program), we highly recommend interviewing with a member of the admissions team. This is a unique opportunity for us to learn more about you while having your individual questions answered by a member of our staff. The Early Decision I deadline is November 15 and the Early Decision II and Regular Decision deadline is February 1.

Transfer

We welcome transfers to Muhlenberg, and we accept transfer students in both the fall and spring. Transfer admission is granted on a space-contingent basis. If you have previously matriculated at another post-secondary institution, you’re a transfer applicant. The fall application deadline is June 15 and the spring application deadline is December 10. If you are a part-time or full-time adult (over the age of 23) transfer student, please contact our School of Continuing Studies at 484-664-3300.
