The M2 program is designed specifically for undergraduate students with degrees in STEM or liberal arts who want to leverage their undergraduate majors in a business leadership role.
"After graduation many Muhlenberg graduates, steeped in the liberal arts and sciences, pursue careers in the business world," said Holmes Miller, professor of business and chair of the accounting, business, economics & finance department at Muhlenberg. "Lehigh's program focuses on this type of individual. After graduating from Muhlenberg with a solid liberal arts foundation, this program will enable our graduates to be even more competitive in the business world."
The M2 program offers a strongly executed business curriculum that complements the high-quality liberal arts education for which Muhlenberg College is known.
Beyond the exceptional academic experience offered at Lehigh, professional development opportunities, including exposure to prospective employers through projects and case studies as well as international immersions, are available and encouraged.
Academically qualified students will enjoy an abbreviated application process including an application fee waiver and standardized test waiver. Lehigh's presence will be evident on campus through on-campus information sessions and individual meetings with prospective students. Students may apply at the end of their junior year and be accepted, pending completion of their undergraduate degree.
