This unique first-semester experience is led by Lehigh faculty and staff, is open to students in any major, and costs the same as an on-campus semester (financial aid applies the same as for an on-campus semester as well). Through hands-on learning and challenging coursework in a living-learning community, students will gain new perspectives, grow as individuals and return to Lehigh with the experience and knowledge to succeed.</p></div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="post-content"> <section class="row region region-post-content"> <div class="views-element-container block block-views block-views-blockadditional-components-block-2" id="block-lehigh-views-block-additional-components-block-2"> <div class="content"> <div class="col-auto"><div class="view view-additional-components view-id-additional_components view-display-id-block_2 js-view-dom-id-1dac662fe717ed366f4a39f342fec92d4dcbd9a70747883ec97b2748aed58172"> <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"> <div class="row"> <div class="header"> <h2>Program Locations</h2> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text-standard-content field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><img class="img-fluid" src="/sites/www2/files/inline-images/Summit-Photo-1.jpeg" data-entity-uuid="342ebb97-3a29-4d70-bb1f-eeb816322567" data-entity-type="file" width="2000" height="1500"><h3><a href="https://www1.lehigh.edu/admissions/launch-program-locations-academics#american-west">Semester in the American West: WY and NM</a></h3><p>Spend your semester with Lehigh faculty learning about the literature, earth and environment, and peoples of Wyoming and New Mexico — while you also learn about yourself.
