Most American universities include International Relations as a component of Political Science programs. Lehigh stands out as one of the select U.S. institutions that has maintained a dedicated IR department for many years. This unique structure allows students passionate about global affairs to pursue a specialized curriculum rarely available elsewhere. While no particular background is mandatory for International Relations, high school students considering this field should maximize their exposure to social science courses like economics, history, political science, and geography. Knowledge of a foreign language is recommended, though not formally required.

Applicants must be completing or have completed the equivalent of 12 years of education (primary and secondary) or the program of study that leaves them eligible for admission to university-level study in the educational system in which they are enrolled. For example, students who are completing or who have only completed O level or GCSE/IGCSE study are not eligible to apply and should do so when they are completing the final year of A level study, or the equivalent.
Scores must be submitted directly from the testing/assessment agency and the most competitive candidates score above a 90 on the TOEFL, 7.0 on the IELTS or 110 on Duolingo. SAT, SAT Subject Test, and ACT results cannot be used to meet the English proficiency requirement.
