Lehigh University is a private research university located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1865, it offers a range of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs, including master’s-only degrees. As a private institution, it operates independently of state government control and relies on tuition, endowments, and private funding rather than public tax dollars.
The university is known for its strong engineering, business, and arts programs. While private universities often have higher tuition rates, Lehigh provides financial aid and scholarships to eligible students. Its master’s programs maintain the same private status as the rest of the university.
