Application Timeline
Application Methods
👍 Great Fit If You Are:
Builder types
if you like to apply what you learn through hands-on projects, design competitions, or industry collabs, Lehigh makes that real.
Business-engineering hybrids
if you’re equally excited by product design and go-to-market strategy, Lehigh lets you study both in depth.
Community-driven students
if you want to actually know your professors and classmates, and be part of a tight-knit environment, Lehigh delivers.
Practical idealists
if you want your education to lead to a job, but still care about ideas and values, this school respects both.
Mid-sized balance seekers
if you’re torn between the intimacy of a liberal arts college and the resources of a research university, Lehigh offers the best of both.
🚨 Not Ideal For:
Big-city lovers
Bethlehem is charming but quiet; urban energy seekers might find it too subdued.
Art or humanities purists
Lehigh offers solid options, but its heart lies in business and STEM.
Nontraditional structure lovers
Lehigh’s academic paths are fairly structured and goal-oriented; self-designed or fluid learners may feel boxed in.
Low-key socializers
Greek life is prominent; while not mandatory, it shapes a lot of social life.
Ultra-competitive types
the school is rigorous but cooperative; if you thrive in high-pressure rivalries, you may want something sharper-edged.
