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."

"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."

Eric J., Class of 2022
Director of Corporate Development, Gopuff
