Admission to the Integrated Business and Engineering Honors Program is highly selective, with annual admission limited to approximately 50 students. The University’s Office of Admissions (610-758-3100) can explain the procedure for applying to the program.

It is possible that a small number of exceptional students may be admitted to the program following the completion of their freshman year. Admission at this point would be highly competitive and based upon freshman year GPA, faculty recommendations, and space availability.

The Academic Advisor for the IBE Honors Program is Jessica Scott (jes819@lehigh.edu). The co-directors of the IBE Honors Program are Richard J. Kish, Professor of Finance (rjk7@lehigh.edu), and Ana Alexandrescu, Professor of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering (aia210@lehigh.edu).
