WHY LEHIGH? “I came to Lehigh because of the IBE program. It is one of the best programs offered at any college across the nation and Lehigh, along with the University of Pennsylvania, are the only schools who offer this type of program. That was my deciding factor to come to Lehigh as opposed to any of the other schools I applied to.”
