About Lehigh: The College of Business and Economics

Lehigh's tradition of blending the theoretical and the practical, the abstract and the applied, finds a perfect setting in the College of Business and Economics (CBE). Students and faculty are able to address analytically the complexities of a burgeoning global economy and apply practical methodologies to a changing international marketplace. The College offers undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, and advanced professional degree programs.

Faculty members typically embrace the worlds of both academia and business. They receive grants from a variety of sources, including TIAA/CREF, a variety of business consulting firms, and the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Labor, and Education. The CBE is composed of five academic departments: Accounting, Economics, Management, Marketing, and the Perella Department of Finance; the latter was recently endowed by a $10 million gift by renowned Lehigh alumnus Joseph R. Perella. In addition, the College is home to numerous research centers and institutes, including the Center for Financial Services Studies, the Center for Value Chain Research, the Murray H. Goodman Center for Real Estate Studies, the Financial Services Laboratory, the Rauch Center for Business Communication, the Small Business Development Center, the Iacocca Institute, and the Martindale Center for the Study of Private Enterprise. The College of Business and Economics offers state-of-the-art, niche-based programs that cross traditional boundaries within the College and across the university. With the marketplace as the catalyst for change, and input from a very active board of advisers, skillsets necessary for success in the job market are identified and programs are created to give CBE graduates a competitive edge.

Those in the College of Business and Economics are rightly proud of their stellar record of preparing students for exciting careers in business, finance, economic consulting, and management. And the list of distinguished Lehigh alums who serve now as leaders in our nation's world of business is remarkable, as is their commitment to constantly enhancing the school's reach.
