Thiel College

Where are you from? Where are you going?
 Thiel College, founded in 1866 as a coeducational institution with its roots in the Lutheran church, has created an environment that allows you to find balance in that equation. Founding donors Louis and Barbara Thiel believed that Christian faith impels social responsibility and set the guiding principles for an institution that has been a leading liberal arts college in western Pennsylvania for more than 150 years. Throughout its history, Thiel has striven to be progressive while still honoring the traditions that make it special. That combination is reflected in the College’s first class. Three of Thiel’s first five students were women.

Thiel gives you the tools to explore your faith while combining your passions and purpose:

• Robust student life featuring faith-based groups TC Soldiers for God, Roman Catholic Student Ministry, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Lutheran Student Movement, and Thiel Christian Fellowship, plus 75 other clubs, organizations, and NCAA varsity sports;
