Greenville, Pennsylvania is home to Thiel College. Greenville is a town not far from a more urbanized area. Students select the school partly because it is a Evangelical Lutheran Church school. Thiel College is a private, not-for-profit institution. Degrees at the school go up to the Bachelor's degree.
Students at Thiel College can choose among many degree programs. Students commonly pursue studies in science, art studies, and business and management.
Prospective students are advised that admissions are not open to all; the school selects from among qualified applicants. Three quarters of students in 2005 had SAT verbal scores of at least 420. Half of math SAT scores of accepted students fell between 430 and 540. Since a large share of students are from out-of-state, you can assume Thiel College has broad appeal.
The school has a tenure system for senior faculty.
Thiel College has 1,320 enrolled students (as of 2005).
The school has a residential or campus feel. Thiel College offers dorm rooms to a higher percentage of its students than do most colleges. The school values student athletics, and belongs to the Presidents' Athletic Conference.
