Lehigh University provides an education that lasts a lifetime. We blend the theoretical with the practical, and are proud of our ability to cross academic disciplines to provide an integrated learning experience. Our goal is to prepare students for not just their first job, but for their last one, as well.

Asa Packer founded Lehigh in 1865. As an industrial pioneer, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Packer recognized the need for workers who were broadly educated in the liberal arts and sciences—young people who could combine practical skills with theory, judgment, reasoning and self-discipline. Even though time sometimes has a way of cementing or melting away intent, Asa Packer’s vision of 1865 remains clear and true today as a guide for Lehigh’s future.
