What Students Are Saying

Very high. That's part of what makes the school's graduates so marketable and sought after.
Tyler from Red Lion, PA
I am a first year student, thus I do not have a rigorous schedule for the first semester. Lehigh is a liberal art school so there are requirements that you have to fulfill depending on the college of your choice. Based on number of credits you have, you will have different amount of assignments. You should expect readings from most of your classes in weekly bases. And if you are taking a math course or science course with lab, it is expected you will spend more time on those assignments.
Christy
Lehigh takes it's academics seriously. All classes are rigorous. However, there are many opportunities for students here, especially first year students (freshmen) to receive tutoring or other academic support.
Samantha
The courses are challenging, but if you devote enough time to the classes you can excell. Also, if you connect with the professors they are always willing to help you.
Kaitlyn from Chambersburg, PA
Classes are quite challanging but they are managable when putting a lot of work.
Era from Philadelphia, PA
Lehigh is a very strong school for academics and research.
