How does Lehigh Engineering stack up against big state school programs?
Lehigh blends the best aspects of a small, private learning institution with those of larger research-driven universities, and thus finds itself drawing top students who may be attracted to either academic environment. It is nearly impossible to imagine a big state school where undergraduates have as much access to senior faculty and cutting-edge lab equipment as they do here. Nor are there many private institutions in our category that put as much emphasis on fostering and supporting sophisticated undergraduate research; fewer still provide as much direct undergraduate access to next-generation techniques and technologies, from the nanoscale to the megastructural. Ours is a community where youll receive personal attention from faculty and staff, but youll also have access to state-of-the-art resources and facilities that support hands-on, in-depth research projects. Classes are small at least three-quarters of our engineering courses are comprised of 30 students or less. And on-campus
