Guiding Principles of the FLEX MBA Program
 

1. Structured/Unstructured Decision-Maker

The Lehigh FLEX MBA creates an environment that challenges its students to think in unaccustomed ways. Students are taught how to be clear and precise, yet critical thinkers, and also how to evaluate alternative strategies and action plans associated with the myriad of challenges evident in prototypical and non-prototypical business enterprises. .

2. Leadership

The Lehigh FLEX MBA continually tests how business savvy its students are and supports the process of transitioning from the mindset of the customer to that of the company employee with responsibility as the manager.
