Lehigh University - Computer Science & Engineering


•	Faculty

•	Seminars

The CSE department is strongly committed to excellence in both education and research. We conduct exciting research in artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, computer engineering, computer networks, computer vision, information systems, and Web systems. Our 16 faculty include two IEEE fellows, one ACM fellow, and three NSF CAREER award winners. We have a strong graduate program with over 70 graduate students, half of whom are Ph.D. students.

Lehigh undergraduate students benefit from the personal attention typical of small colleges, yet like students at a large research university, they benefit from the exposure to an active research environment. To provide students with flexibility, we offer a number of degrees. We offer two B.S. degrees in computer science (one in Engineering and one in Arts and Sciences), a B.A. in computer science, and in conjunction with Electrical and Computer Engineering, a B.S. in computer engineering. Further, in partnership with the College of Business and Economics, we offer a B.S. in Computer Science and Business, a degree that is unique because it is fully accredited in both fields.
