The Lehigh to Wall Street program is an intensive, year-long, five-stage extra-curricular training that prepares students for the job market.
What is the schedule for the inaugural 2026 cohort?
Because the Center for Applied Finance was recently finalized, our inaugural 2026 program will run on a compressed, accelerated timeline. This first cohort will kick off this summer with an asynchronous, virtual preparatory curriculum and culminate with intensive site visits to New York City banks during the final week of December.
Can I still enroll in the 2026 program?
Enrollment for the compressed 2026 program is now officially closed, and our inaugural cohort has been finalized.
When does enrollment typically take place?
Recruitment for the program begins early, taking place toward the end of the fall semester of your first year at Lehigh.
Once selected, your official coursework runs for one full calendar year—beginning in the spring semester of your first year and wrapping up in December of your junior year. This strategic timeline gives you the ideal window to build your skills and network before Wall Street's major hiring cycles hit.
I am an incoming first-year student—how do I enroll for 2027?
If you are a first-year student aiming to join the 2027 cohort, we will start recruiting and accepting applications at the end of the fall 2026 semester. Formal enrollment criteria, precise timeline details, and instructions on how to apply will be posted directly to this page as the fall semester concludes. Please check back then to learn how to secure your spot in the next cohort.
