The CIE program is truly international in nature.CIE faculty and staff make systematic efforts to create a vibrant learning community where internationalization thrives not only in formal classroom instruction, but also in daily socialization of students and faculty in academic, professional, and personal realms. Building on the strengths, expertise, and connections of the program faculty and the larger Lehigh University community, students have a unique opportunity to engage in a myriad of international experiences as a part of their graduate education experience, including conducting education research overseas, engaging in international education development consultancies, and assisting in journal/book editing in comparative and international education.
