Admissions

When you enroll in a College of Arts & Sciences graduate program, you join a thriving cohort that values collaboration over competition. We deeply value these connections and believe they not only enrich your Lehigh experience, they also prepare you to be a thoughtful and innovative leader in your field.

Our admissions process is grounded in our desire to nurture close connections within our programs. That’s why we take the time to get to know you during the admissions process–to ensure that we’re a good fit for each other. Each program’s graduate committee makes admissions decisions independently, based on your whole application file. Yes, we aim to admit the most highly qualified applicants, and we believe that gaining an understanding of your personal and professional experiences completes the story told by your academic credentials.
