Graduate Education

The involvement of Lehigh University faculty and staff in energy research has created a wide range of opportunities for graduate studies. Most departments in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, as well as several in the College of Arts and Science and the College of Business and Economics, are active in energy research and offer both masters and doctoral degree programs suitable for studies of energy-related topics.

All degrees are granted by the academic departments and graduate students interested in energy topics enroll in traditional graduate degree programs in departments of their choice. These students specialize in energy by complementing their programs with a selection of special energy-related courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Students pursue their graduate research in energy areas under the supervision of faculty from the Energy Research Center or from other research centers or academic departments.

Lehigh's energy research program is funded by grants and contracts from government agencies and industrial organizations. Research assistantships, fellowships and teaching assistantships are available for graduate student support.
