1,100Thiel offers a solid liberal arts curriculum plus

relevant experience in your chosen profession.

We offer career discernment help for

undecided majors and first-year exploratory

programs without locking into a major. All

academic programs can be completed in four

years, but our ninth-semester tuition is waived

if you need an extra semester to finish your

degree because of “extras” like internships,

service learning and study abroad

experiences. Your co-curricular transcript and

e-Portfolio system will help showcase to future

employers and professional schools what

you’ve accomplished during your college

years. Be transformed at Thiel!

C O M M I T T E D T O Y O U

90min

See www.thiel.edu/commitment for

“The Thiel Commitment,” which lists the

promises we keep for our students. Sign

up to chat on connect.thiel.edu, Thiel’s

own social network. Start making

connections with future students, current

students, faculty, staff and alumni.

When you commit to Thiel, we commit

to you – for life! With 1,100 students as

your friends, and a beautiful campus

on 135 wooded acres, you’ll get the

full college experience. Check out the

Thiel Web site and schedule a campus

visit today at www.thiel.edu/visit.

We’re just 90 minutes from Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Erie – the Golden Triangle of

Opportunity – close enough for big-city entertainment and internships, but far enough

away to stay focused on your studies. Mercer County is known for gently rolling hills,

lakes, parks and one of the largest outlet malls in the U.S. Plan on plenty of hiking,

biking, camping, boating and shopping.

I did cancer research after

finishing my Ph.D., but I really

wanted to teach in a small private

liberal arts institution. The close

relationships with my students –

that’s what keeps me here.

JOYCE CUFFPROFESSOR OF BIOLOGY AND PAUL M.

RIKE, PROFESSOR OF LIFE SCIENCES

When I visited, I felt like I could ask anything

with my student tour guide. I chose Thiel for

the friendly atmosphere and high-quality

academic programs.

Be innovative! Combine two or

more of our 60 majors and areas

of study, like Culinary Arts with

Business or Commercial Art with

Media Communication.

120There’s nothing like studying with

professors (not teaching assistants)

who love what they do. Our 120

faculty members perform research,

network in their fields and get students

involved. Travel with your history

professor to a conference in

Pittsburgh. Monitor water stream

quality with your chemistry professor.

Caring guidance is part of the Thiel

advantage, and it’s available to you.

Thiel is one of the least expensive private colleges

in western Pennsylvania. With our competitive

scholarships and access to grants, we are often less

expensive than regional public schools. More than

98% of our students receive financial assistance. 85%

With more than 85% of our students

living on campus, you’ll be adding many

names to your social networking circle.

And plan on being involved, with more

than 50 clubs and organizations to

choose from, as well as 24 varsity sports,

most at NCAA Division III. Count on

concerts, speakers and fun, just-kicking-

back times. Hot Tubs in the Quad,

anyone? Be involved and get connected!
