STUDENT STORY Summer of Discovery Each summer, the high bays of Lehigh’s Mountaintop Campus welcome the Mountaintop Summer Experience, which supports undergraduate and graduate students working across many disciplines on dozens of projects that aim to develop transformative new innovations, new expressions and new questions. Last year’s student-led projects focused on mass incarceration and the role of art and culture; visual localization and mapping of autonomous robots; and the development of a patient-customized cochlear implant simulation app, among many others. Students are able to continue work on their projects through the academic year. Interdisciplinary Programs The world’s problems are not divided neatly into disciplines, and we believe those who will someday solve those problems—and those currently tackling them—shouldn’t be limited to just one or two areas of study. Lehigh’s intercollegiate interdisciplinary programs, along with interdisciplinary programs within the College of Arts and Sciences, teach students to fuse thinking from across disciplines to critically approach challenges and succeed in real-world environments. Computer Science and Business Program (CSB) The CSB program provides a fundamental understanding of business and technology and how they fit together in our global economy. The program is a joint initiative between the College of Business and the Department of Computer Science and Engineering in the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science. CSB students enroll—and are assigned faculty advisors—in both colleges. Students completing this demanding program are awarded a unique joint degree from both colleges. Integrated Degree in Engineering, Arts and Sciences (IDEAS) IDEAS students can combine the technological sophistication of an engineering background with the opportunity to tap their creativity, enrich their minds and make a difference in the world. Students choose coursework from the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science and the College of Arts and Sciences to design their own unique thematic degree. Graduates of the IDEAS program will earn a single degree—a B.S. in Integrated Engineering, Arts and Sciences conferred by both colleges. Integrated Business and Engineering Honors Program (IBE) The IBE program provides students with a background in technology and commerce, preparing them for success in the constantly changing marketplace. Students in the IBE program can major in any area of business or engineering that Lehigh offers. Each student will elect a traditional major in either the College of Business or the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science upon completion of his or her first year and will receive a single bachelor of science degree in integrated business and engineering. The College of Arts and Sciences offers 10 interdisciplinary studies programs in areas as diverse as health, medicine and society; Africana studies; cognitive science; sustainable development; and Asian studies.
