What is Applied Science?
Lehigh's undergraduate major in applied science enables students to create interdisciplinary specialties that prepare them for careers in a world that increasingly bridges academic disciplines. Students pursue subject-area concentrations that represent academic interests they wish to integrate into a meaningful program. The core offers students the intellectual tools to identify connections between the concentrations and engage in interdisciplinary problem-solving and critical thinking.
Each student's curriculum combines a general engineering education with a carefully customized concentration in engineering and/or science as well as another area of emphasis.
