Lehigh ranked among nation's top research universities

Lehigh has again been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation’s outstanding research universities.

 

In its just-released 2015 “Guide to America’s Best Colleges,” the news magazine ranks Lehigh 40th among 280 institutions across the United States (173 public, 100 private and seven for-profit) that offer undergraduate majors as well as master’s and doctoral degrees.

 

In addition, Lehigh is rated 34th in the nation for “great schools, great prices.”

 

The U.S. News overall ranking takes into account a number of factors that include graduation and retention rates, class size, SAT scores, selectivity, academic reputation and alumni giving.

 

Among the best undergraduate engineering programs whose highest degree is a Ph.D., Lehigh’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science ranked 41st in the country, based on a survey of peers.

 

Lehigh’s undergraduate program in the College of Business and Economics was ranked 93rd, based on peer assessment. In the recent Bloomberg Businessweek ranking of best undergraduate business schools, the CBE was ranked 31st, and that ranking methodology did take into account student surveys, corporate recruiter surveys and other institutional data.

 

To aid prospective students and their families in their decision-making, Lehigh provides a wealth of information on academics, resources, campus life, and scholarship and financial aid offerings. Please see the university’s institutional profile.
