The Academic Heart of Lehigh

The College of Arts and Sciences is a community of students and faculty—comparable in size to many four-year liberal arts colleges and offering the benefits of small size and intimate setting found at such colleges. Arts and Sciences students find our programs highly flexible. You can choose degree programs from among more than 50 disciplines in the College’s 18 academic departments and 10 multidisciplinary programs that cross departmental boundaries. You can also combine areas to construct programs of study that best fit your personal goals and interests. Our advising program, staffed by regular faculty, is designed to guide you, whether you are undecided or have a definite direction. Degree requirements are flexible, allowing the student to select from a wide range of courses, but build a solid, broad foundation that is one of the hallmarks of a liberal arts education.
