HYP Global and Lehigh University P.C. Rossin College of Engineering Launch Joint Pre-Master Boot Camp

HYP Global and Lehigh University P.C. Rossin College of Engineering Launch Joint Pre-Master Boot Camp

In November 2021, HYP Global and Lehigh University's P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science jointly launched the Pre-Master Boot Camp (PMBC) for Engineering — an official academic preparation program designed for international students pursuing graduate study in engineering at Lehigh University.

Building on HYP Global's existing PMBC partnership with Lehigh's College of Business, this engineering extension marks a significant broadening of the collaboration — giving international students from STEM backgrounds a structured, faculty-endorsed pathway into Lehigh's highly regarded engineering master's programs.

About Lehigh University and the Rossin College of Engineering

Lehigh University was founded in 1865 by industrialist Asa Parker and is a leading private research university, a member of the Patriot League, and widely recognized as one of the "Hidden Ivies." With a student-to-faculty ratio of 9:1, Lehigh is known for its rigorous, small-class academic environment.
