The collaboration of academia and industry to foster innovation, growth and excellence.

Our program serves as a bridge between the academic expertise of Lehigh University and the dynamic needs of the corporate world. Our partnerships provide a platform for meaningful engagement and mutual benefit, including reduced tuition for the Lehigh MBA and executive education certificates and programs.

Through strategic partnerships, we facilitate knowledge exchange, research collaboration, talent development and real-world problem-solving, empowering businesses to thrive in today's rapidly evolving global landscape.

Join us as we redefine the boundaries of academia-industry collaboration and create a lasting impact together.

Partnership Benefits

• Full-time employees of partner organizations receive a 20% tuition reduction for the FLEX MBA and select graduate programs, representing a significant savings of over $10,000 per student.
• When combined with your company’s tuition reimbursement program, the 20% partner discount can significantly reduce tuition costs, making graduate education more accessible and affordable.
• 10% discount to any Vistex Institute for Executive Education non-credit standard programs.
• Through the Corporate Learning Club, partners can pre-purchase bulk seats to the Vistex Institute’s open enrollment programs at a preferred rate, enhancing professional development across their organization.
• Partners and Lehigh may explore faculty-led projects or other student engagements that align with mutual interest, creating hands-on learning experiences for students.
• Engage top MBA and early-career talent by hosting an annual career-focused event (on campus or virtual) to spotlight your company’s culture, career paths, and hiring needs.

How We Collaborate

• Corporate partners commit to hosting one career-focused event per year (on campus or virtual) to highlight opportunities for MBA and early-career graduate students.
• Partners are encouraged to send up to two employees annually as guest speakers in Lehigh classes. When possible, alumni are invited to share career journeys and industry insights. We’ll coordinate scheduling and topics to ensure a seamless experience.
• We invite partners to nominate one employee annually to serve as an Industry Mentor to a full-time MBA student, providing career guidance, professional insights, and industry perspective through regular conversations.
