Lafayette is unique nationally in its particular combination of the liberal arts, engineering, and interdisciplinary study in an undergraduate-focused residential learning environment.

The five priorities outlined below seek to enhance these already strong elements of a Lafayette education while providing equitable access to powerful learning experiences across the curriculum and simultaneously developing pathways for innovation and creativity.

Five Strategic Priorities

  1. Building Into the “And”: Liberal Arts, Engineering, and Interdisciplinarity

  3. Experience and Collaboration: Easton, the Lehigh Valley, and the Globe
  4. Cultivating Connections: Inclusivity, Belonging, and Stewardship
  5. Strengthening Our Infrastructure: People, Process, and Place
