Through formalized programs across and within colleges, as well as individual course selections, collaboration with faculty and independent research projects, students work in a rich, real-world-focused interdisciplinary studies environment.</p> </div> <div id="page-body"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-element-container block block-views block-views-blockadditional-components-block-1" id="block-views-block-additional-components-block-1"> <div class="content"> <div class="col-auto"><div class="view view-additional-components view-id-additional_components view-display-id-block_1 js-view-dom-id-1dfdc7e39d76ef04fe82c1bc24068be8f86127997b98bd58cfb416d987c78068"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row"> <div class="views-field views-field-field-additional-components"><div class="field-content"><div class="subpage-section paragraph padded-paragraph paragraph--type--card-list paragraph--view-mode--default "> <div class="row card-list"> <div class="header"> <h2>Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Programs Across Colleges</h2> </div> <div class="card mb-5"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-5"> <img src="/sites/www2/files/LehighUniversity_Interdisciplinary_CSB1.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="LehighUniversity_Interdisciplinary_CSB1" /> </div> <div class="col-md-7"> <h3 class="card-title">Computer Science and Business (CSB) </h3> <p class="card-text"><p>The CSB Program is a demanding joint initiative between the College of Business and the Computer Science and Engineering department in the P.C.
