Lehigh undergraduate students benefit from the personal attention typical of small colleges, yet like students at a large research university, they benefit from the exposure to an active research environment. To provide students with flexibility, we offer a number of degrees. We offer two B.S. degrees in computer science (one in Engineering and one in Arts and Sciences), a B.A. in computer science, and in conjunction with Electrical and Computer Engineering, a B.S. in computer engineering. Further, in partnership with the College of Business and Economics, we offer a B.S. in Computer Science and Business, a degree that is unique because it is fully accredited in both fields.

In addition to their first place finish at the Wilkes site, the team, known as Lehigh C, also finished twelfth out of 146 teams competing in the entire mid-atlantic region who competed simultaneously at eight sites. The Lehigh J team, consisting of Justin Sonntag, Melanie Roha and Brian Pollock, also participated in the contest. Professor Brian Davison serves as advisor for the ACM student group.
• NSF recently awarded Professors Xiaolei Huang and Daniel Lopresti a collaborative research grant to develop methodologies for managing the information hierarchy in large medical image archives to support the detection and treatment of cervical cancer, among other applications. Their proposal “Structuring, Reasoning, and Querying in a Very Large Medical Image Database” was awarded $116,109 for the first year of the project. Professor Gang Tan of the CSE Department, Professor George Nagy of RPI and Dr. Joe Patruno from Lehigh Valley Hospital will serve as collaborators on the project.
