If you are a current high school student looking to apply to the CSB program, this guide is designed to help you through the CSB application process. For more information, see the Lehigh Undergraduate Admissions website or contact the Computer Science & Business Association incsba@lehigh.edu

Selecting CSB as Your First Choice

Lehigh Currently accepts either the Common Application or the Coalition Application. In order to apply to CSB on either application platform, find Lehigh University as you would any other college or university within the application platform. Under the "Academics" section on the Lehigh-specific questions of the application you will need to first select a college. You must select either the "College of Business" OR the "P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science." You should select whichever college you would want to be considered for if you are not admitted into the CSB program.

OR

Selecting Your Second Choice

Given the nature of CSB as a selective program, you will be asked to pick a second choice major in either the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering & Applied Sciences or the College of Business. If you are not admitted into the CSB program, you will be considered for general admission to whichever college you selected (so there's no harm in applying for CSB!).
