What Academic Programs and Degree Levels Does Lehigh University Offer?

Lehigh University offers undergraduate, graduate, and interdisciplinary programs across five colleges: Arts & Sciences, Business, Health, Engineering & Applied Science, and Education. If you are deciding whether Lehigh fits your study goals, the key question is which college and degree level matches your field — and the university's majors and undergraduate programs directory is the place to check specific fields.

The Five Colleges

Lehigh's academic programs are organized into these colleges:

• College of Arts & Sciences
• College of Business
• College of Health
• P.C. Rossin College of Engineering & Applied Science
• College of Education

Each college hosts its own majors and degree offerings, so the college you choose determines the range of programs available to you.

Degree Levels

Lehigh enrolls more than 7,000 undergraduate and graduate students, and its academics section is organized around three paths:

• Undergraduate Studies — bachelor's-level programs across the colleges.
• Graduate Studies — advanced degrees for students continuing beyond the undergraduate level.
• Interdisciplinary Opportunities — programs that cross college or departmental boundaries.

If you are comparing Lehigh against other schools, confirm that your intended field is offered at the degree level you need, since not every college necessarily covers every level.

How Lehigh Approaches Teaching

Two features shape the academic experience:

• An 11:1 student-faculty ratio, which the university describes as fostering a culture of innovation and intellectual risk-taking.
• Integrative, hands-on learning, including engaged research, high-impact opportunities, and global experiences. One student profile — Ruhi Tawde '26, studying Industrial and Systems Engineering and Finance — describes adapting knowledge through hands-on projects and experiential learning.

These points matter most if you want small classes and applied work rather than a purely lecture-based program.

Outcomes to Weigh

Lehigh publishes several outcome figures that may factor into your decision:

The university also notes strong career outcomes through academics, experiential learning, and its alumni network, and has ranked highly in LinkedIn's career-focused rankings for two consecutive years.
