Dedicated to excellence in both education and research, Lehigh’s computer science programs have long provided students with rigorous training in mathematics, science and computer science fundamentals. Through challenging coursework and independent study, students at the undergraduate and graduate levels collaborate with faculty on cutting-edge research projects and learn to navigate the rapidly evolving field of computer science.
Lehigh students working on behalf of the Da Vinci Science Center used data analysis to help the center create a predictive model for future attendance.
Lehigh’s computer science programs promote the essentials of the discipline—the fundamentals of discrete mathematics, structured programming, algorithms, computer architectures, operating systems and programming languages—while allowing students to explore the frontiers of computer science and its potential to enable dramatic advances in other disciplines.
Our more than 250 undergraduate and 70 graduate students benefit from the tailored experience typical of a small university while taking advantage of the amenities only found at a leading research institution. Exceptional faculty, state-of-the-art computing and laboratory facilities, and an advanced high-speed campus network provide an ideal environment for collaboration, innovation and discovery.
DataX will broaden the scope of Lehigh’s already strong commitment to interdisciplinary learning. With over twenty existing interdisciplinary programs designed to cross the boundaries between colleges and accommodate new and developing fields, Lehigh enables students to achieve distinctive professional goals through personalized academic experiences. As our world becomes ever more focused on technology, the fundamentals of computer science can equip students of all disciplines to make a significant difference in their chosen fields.
Our faculty members maintain an outstanding international reputation in a variety of research areas.
Research projects by faculty and students have received funding from:
National Science Foundation
Pennsylvania Infrastructure Technology Alliance
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
Christian R. & Mary F. Lindback Foundation
Lockheed Martin
Lehigh’s commitment to using computer science to further knowledge in a variety of fields is evident in the participation of key faculty members from a range of disciplines.
