Eckardt Scholars

The Eckardt scholars program is a highly selective and unique honors program in the College of Arts and Sciences. The program emphasizes deep intellectual curiosity, independent work, and close mentoring relationships between the very highest achieving students and faculty at Lehigh. Students in the program work with their major advisor and the Eckardt scholars program director to create a flexible course of study that best suits their academic interests and ambitions. Although exempt from arts and sciences distribution requirements, students will complete the requisite number of credits for their degrees and all correlative requirements for their departmental or interdisciplinary majors. The program includes participation in two Eckardt scholar seminars and completion of a large independent project, in the form of a thesis, artistic creation, or other capstone experience, during the senior year.
