Helping you find your potential.

The best performers, the best singers, the best athletes, the best writers, the best executives — they have one thing in common: great coaches. The Muhlenberg College coaching program pairs every incoming student with a personalized team who ensures they maximize their potential and take advantage of holistic opportunities for personal growth and professional development. 

Providing 360-degree support for every student from the moment they arrive on campus, the program builds on Muhlenberg's robust academic advising by pairing students with a career counselor and college life coach in addition to their faculty advisors.

Academic Life

Academic advisors help you chart your educational journey from as early as the summer before your first year. Your advisor may change as you declare your major but their stake in your academic success remains.
