College of Health professors Dr. Eduardo Gomez, Dr. Halcyon Skinner and Dr. Thomas McAndrew have been featured in the media for their expertise on COVID-19. A Nexus for Health Research and Innovation Just as Lehigh was founded on a forward-thinking interdisciplinary concept—the combination of engineering and liberal arts to take a humanistic approach to problem solving—we launched the College of Health to shape the future of health and healthcare through an innovative approach to teaching and research. Housed in a brand new, state-of-the-art building, the college’s interdisciplinary focus will allow it to easily draw on the expertise of faculty in Lehigh’s four colleges and to collaborate on learning and research experiences. As the first college in the nation to offer an undergraduate degree in population health with a focus on health innovation and technology, the College of Health will prepare students to investigate the determinants of health using data science and study how they interact to produce the health outcomes that we observe. Graduates will be in a unique position to meet the ever-increasing employment needs of the healthcare sector in the fields of epidemiology, medicine, data science, biostatistics, global health, health economics, health policy, community health, health promotion, and health technology and innovation. A Well-Rounded Education When you apply to Lehigh, you’ll apply to one of our four undergraduate colleges or directly into an intercollegiate interdisciplinary program.
