Lehigh University College of Business and Economics

History

For more than 100 years, Lehigh University’s College of Business and Economics has been home to a thriving academic community, one that has launched the careers of students who are both critical thinkers and pioneers in industry.

That commitment to scholarship has always been an integral part of our culture and has long been a core component of our curriculum, which is highly collaborative and cross-disciplinary in nature.
