From the Institution
Lehigh is a premier residential research university that has long played a groundbreaking role in interdisciplinary education and research, and was recently designated R1 status by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, denoting the highest level of research activity. Lehigh prepares students within a rigorous academic environment that blends learning inside and outside the classroom and promotes creativity, innovation and interaction. Our students see the world as a dynamic place, where their ideas, imagination and new thinking create positive change. Faculty work closely with students across disciplines and translate research and theory into practice. The close, mentoring relationships between students and faculty members across each of our five colleges provide students with an opportunity to learn in a warm and collaborative atmosphere. Students are given the flexibility to explore academic areas outside their major field of study, where they learn how new knowledge comes at the intersection of ideas. Academic life at Lehigh extends well beyond the classroom, and students are engaged in educational pursuits in their local community and the world at large. Over 600 international learning opportunities and internships are available, including the fully-funded, individually designed lacocca International Internships, which combine professional experience with cultural immersion. For more than 20 years, our unique NGO partnership with the United Nations has provided students the opportunity to connect with global decision makers and senior UN diplomats on issues of worldwide importance. The connection to the West Coast is strong with the Lehigh and Nasdaq Center and the Lehigh Western Regional office, developed to extend educational opportunities for Lehigh students and faculty by building curricular and research partnerships with dynamic enterprises in western cities. A highly active campus life offers students countless opportunities through more than 150 clubs and organizations, 25 Division I varsity sports, intramural and club programs and a vibrant arts scene. Lehigh's picturesque Bethlehem, Pennsylvania campus spans 2,355 acres, making it one of the largest private campuses in the country. More than 5,000 undergraduate and nearly 2,000 graduate students call this hillside university home within our four distinguished undergraduate colleges: Arts & Sciences, Business, Engineering, and Health and a graduate college of Education. Students go on to high levels of success in their chosen careers, with 92 percent of the class employed or in graduate school six months after graduation. Lehigh students benefit through learning and career opportunities provided by a worldwide network of 88,000 loyal alumni.
