What Do Our Recent Graduates Say?

"The Lehigh Flex MBA Program provided me with an incredible opportunity to expand my horizons and grow as a professional. The curated curriculum provides impact learning opportunities; and the professors in the program have a depth of real-world experience that make the courses even more impactful. The collaborative projects with my peers also provided opportunities to learn more about other fields I would otherwise never touch. I highly recommend this program for those looking to take the next step in their career."

Nick B., Class of 2024
Account Executive, Disney Advertising

"For many years I wavered about pursuing an MBA. It remained a goal of mine, but professional and personal demands always seemed to interfere, and a full-time program seemed increasingly like an unviable option. If I had not discovered the Lehigh FLEX MBA, I’m not sure that I ever would have fulfilled this goal. However, it has been such a gratifying experience. With its flexible approach and virtual learning capabilities, I am truly convinced that it is the only MBA program that would have been possible for me at this stage in my life and career."
