The Wescoe School of Muhlenberg College has forged a premier partnership in business education with Lehigh University's College of Business and Economics. The partnership gives eligible adult students a clear path from the Wescoe School's rigorous bachelor of business administration to a master's of business administration (MBA) degree from Lehigh, the only university in the area with an AACSB-accredited MBA program.

Fewer than 400 programs worldwide have achieved AACSB accreditation, recognized by businesses globally as a hallmark of excellence. With a similar emphasis on collaborative learning, holistic management and leadership, the Lehigh University and The Wescoe School of Muhlenberg College programs provide an excellent complement to each other. Eligible Wescoe School graduates will be given preferential consideration for acceptance into the Lehigh University MBA program.

"The Wescoe School does an excellent job of preparing business students both in their degree programs and for their careers. They are well-positioned for success in the Lehigh MBA," said Richard M. Durand and Herbert E. Ehlers, deans of Lehigh's College of Business and Economics. "Forming this partnership provides a continuum of business education unsurpassed in the region. We welcome them into our program."
