Expansion
Over the next decade, the University will increase its undergraduate population by 1,000 students, or roughly 20 percent, while increasing its graduate student population by 500. This expansion of our student body will bring new dynamism and greater diversity to campus as well as to South Bethlehem, while fostering an ever more vibrant atmosphere of creativity and collaboration.
In support of this growth, Lehigh will also recruit 100 new faculty members. This major investment into our faculty will broaden Lehigh’s academic footprint, building on some of the university’s most esteemed academic programs, strengthening its research enterprise and helping raise its intellectual capacity to new heights.
