    At the core of the COH is a commitment to foster positive change in the communities where we live and work by promoting health equity.

    The mission of the COH, the newest of five colleges at Lehigh University, is to understand, preserve, and improve the health and well-being of domestic and global populations and communities with community-focused and data-driven research and education in three primary areas: population health, community health, and health innovation and technology.

    Our strategic plan identifies as a goal, improving health outcomes for marginalized communities in the Lehigh Valley and in Indigenous communities locally, nationally and globally.

    Within the College of Health, we are building a focused research team of scholars with expertise in promoting disability independence from multiple disciplinary angles.


    The COH offers undergraduate majors in Community and Global Health (BA), Health, Medicine, and Society (BA), and Population Health (BS), and graduate degrees including a Master of Public Health and an MS and PhD in Population Health.
