GRADUATE PROGRAMS Career Destinations A Lehigh degree is a launchpad. Our graduates don’t just find jobs—they drive R&D and pioneer breakthroughs across academia and the biotech industry. You’ll find Lehigh alumni running research labs at Yale, MIT, Cornell, and Penn, while others are developing life-saving therapies at global biotech leaders like Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, and Johnson & Johnson. How to Apply Please review the College application requirements and submission instructions on page 1. Funding & Support Over 90% of our graduate students receive robust financial funding, allowing you to focus on your research, training, and professional growth. How we support you: • Teaching Assistantships • Research Assistantships • Fellowships • Scholarships Want specifics? Funding varies by program—connect with the program director to learn details. Research Impact As a graduate student, you are an integral part of a collaborative research team that includes your Lehigh advisors and colleagues alongside partners from U.S. and foreign institutions. To broaden your perspective, you are encouraged to rotate among different labs. This hands-on rotation allows you to gain firsthand lab experience, master specialized techniques, and build direct relationships with faculty. The impact of this work is substantial; our graduate students are routinely first authors of peer-reviewed publications with their findings published in top-tier scientific journals.
