Lehigh University Courses and Fees 2025

• The curriculum at Lehigh University is relatively simple and easy to understand. You will find it easy, provided you have paid proper attention during your undergraduate course, particularly in the related areas. The program covers all three levels of difficulty: basic, medium, and high, starting from the basics and advanced applications. The teaching methodology is both theoretical and practical. The professors introduce the basics, take students further with group discussions, and give challenging homework to make sure that both the concepts and their applications are understood. Such a balance between theoretical and practical learning has made the course interesting and all-round.
• One positive point of the program is its discussion-oriented approach and clarification of doubts. Professors are really approachable, and there is a high level of interaction both in class and after it. Secondly, every course has a TA who conducts dedicated TA hours. This is extremely helpful for getting doubts resolved and further insights that might not be provided by professors due to lack of time.
• On the negative side, the PowerPoint presentations in class may sometimes be a little limiting. Further explanation of topics is usually left to outside resources not necessarily included in the course material. However, professors are always open to any doubts or questions, even for topics explored independently.

• Tuition fees at Lehigh University are per credit. The standard rate is $1,500 per credit, and since each course is typically 3 credits, the cost for one course amounts to $4,500. Adding taxes, the total becomes about $4,770 per course. For the entire program, total costs will depend upon the number of credits required for graduation, which will vary by program.
• Aside from tuition, the only other required fee is student health insurance, which is $2,500 annually. This is required for all international students and covers healthcare during the course of study. Not having health insurance will really make your medical bills expensive and not affordable.
• I stay off-campus, which usually is cheaper compared to the cost of living on campus (Graduate Housing). My rent is $550 a month, and additional cost for utilities which include Internet, gas, and electric. That generally is around $100 to $150 per month, depending on consumption (heaters use gas/electricity so during the cold months that’s going to be high).
• Grocery shopping is real expensive compared to India, I would suggest to purchase goods at a cheaper price if it is in bulk. I pay roughly $70 every two weeks, which equates to approximately $140 per month. The transportation system is less cost-effective compared to India, and so stocking up during fewer trips is .
• Transportation costs are minimal for me as I live walking distance from campus. however, for longer distances I use the public transport which is free within the city with my college ID.
• Taking everything into consideration the estimated monthly expenses comes to around 840-940$, may even increase if you eat out (tax and tips always are 2-3$ itself)
• The university charges tuition semester by semester; Therefore the payment must be made at the beginning of each semester and please do it before the due date as they’re very strict about late fee charge. It will enable students to plan well financially and ensure clarity manages tuition fees, as well as other costs associated with study and stay in a foreign country.
• Living and studying in the US is very costly, but these expenses could become less troublesome by implementing mindful budgeting techniques and picking inexpensive accommodations.
   

Really good curriculum, with great flexibility to pursue courses from others fields.

$1500 per credit, and a total of 30 credits to complete. So it is around $45000 only for tuition. Living costs can be covered through on campus jobs and other opportunities like TA, RA, GA, etc

The program was Rigorous but straightforward and productive. Work hard and it's helpful and not too hard. A good investment of time. Use resources such as tutoring and office hours because they are available.

Fees are tuition room and board. The price tag goes up each year but they have plenty of financial aid. I'm not sure about the other fees they have, but living nearby can definitely be affordable if you live off campus.

I thought it was very vigorous. I think the main problem in the math program was that your grades were heavily dependent on your professor. For example, there were easy professors, very difficult professors, great professors who were easy to understand, and then not so great ones.

No extra fees for the arts and sciences college specifically, but there was like a $200 technology fee every semester.
