A College of Learners Transcending Boundries

Founded in 1865 by Asa Packer, an industrial pioneer, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Lehigh University is a premier private residential research university.

Lehigh students fl ourish in an environment where they are pushed to learn from their life experiences as well as from the diverse backgrounds and opinions of those around them.
