The CSB degree program is an annual application-based process - applications are accepted January 1 - May 15 and will be reviewed at the end of May, once Spring grades are posted. Admission is dependent on space available in the program. Scheduled or anticipated Summer or Fall coursework cannot be used to satisfy these requirements.

Students applying to join the program must have a minimum GPA of 3.25, earn a B- or better in ECO 001 AND CSE 007 AND (MATH 021 OR MATH 031 OR MATH 076), and have achieved Sophomore standing at the end of the Spring term in which they are applying. Due to impacts on graduation timeline, applications to join CSB are not recommended beyond a student's second year of study at Lehigh.

For additional information, please schedule an appointment with CSB Academic Advisor, Andrea Goff, (ahg212@lehigh.edu).

It is possible that a small number of exceptional students may be admitted to the program immediately following the completion of their freshman year. If interested, reach out to IBE's Academic Advisor, Jessica Scott, at jes819@lehigh.edu for more details.
