For over 150 years, Muhlenberg College has been educating students in the liberal arts tradition. Seeing a need for evening study in our community, the College began offering adult education courses in 1910. Over 90 years later, this division, formerly known as "Muhlenberg Evening College", was officially renamed The Wescoe School of Muhlenberg College in honor of distinguished alumnus W. Clarke Wescoe '41 (1920-2004).

Through positive, inclusive, and innovative approaches to learning, the mission of the Wescoe School is to transform people's lives, build community and enhance society.

The Wescoe School strives to provide lifelong learners the opportunity to continue and enhance their education, and to do so in ways that recognize their experience, maturity, motivation, life circumstances and capacity for independent scholarship.

Muhlenberg's academic program is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the Department of Education of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the New York State Board of Regents. The College is on the approved list of the American Chemical Society. It is also a member of the American Council on Education, the Association of American Colleges, the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education, the College Entrance Examination Board, the Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities, the Associated Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania, and the National Collegiate Honors Council.
