Lehigh University, the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based research institution with over 5,000 undergraduate students and 1,800 graduate students, has been on an upward trajectory in recent years. Over the last 13 years, applications have skyrocketed, while the number of admitted students has climbed, though certainly not as significantly. Let’s take a look at Lehigh’s admission rates and enrollment numbers over the last decade plus!

Lehigh Admission and Enrollment Statistics Over 13 Years

For the Lehigh Class of 2030, a record 20,441 students applied. To put this number in perspective, thirteen years ago, for the Lehigh Class of 2018, 11,512 students applied, or 43.7% fewer applicants.

That said, over these same years, Lehigh has increased its number of admitted students, from 3,945 for the Class of 2018 to 5,601 for the Class of 2029 (with a record 6,485 admitted to the Class of 2025).

Lehigh has been steadily increasing the number of admitted students because they’ve expanded the size of their incoming class, from an enrollment of 1,299 for the Class of 2018 to a record 1,535 students for the Class of 2029.
