Lehigh's IBE program prepares students for leadership roles in industrial research and development, entrepreneurial initiatives, management consulting, high-tech ventures, and innovative technology.
Students work with advisors to develop an academic plan that draws from both the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science and the College of Business. IBE is a four-year honors program that leads to an AACSB-accredited Bachelor of Science degree. Students can opt for a fifth year of study for a professionally accredited second BS in their engineering major.
IBE students must acquire proficiency in at least one foreign language and are encouraged to study or intern abroad. They must also complete a summer industrial internship and a two-semester senior capstone design project.
