The department has extensive facilities, including a child study center, cognitive laboratories, and ample quarters for research in personality and social cognition. Lehigh has a sophisticated network system that connects all campus computers and servers together and provides access to the Internet and World Wide Web. The department has its own computer facilities, providing statistical, experimental and general purpose software. Support may come in the form of a teaching, research or graduate assistantship, or a fellowship, the latter sometimes being endowed with a more generous stipend. Additional support may be available in the summer.
Financial support is also available for research projects.
Lehigh's park like campus, in historic Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is a heavily wooded former arboretum with ivy covered Victorian-era stone buildings. It is a short drive from New York City, Philadelphia, the Pocono Mountains, and the New Jersey shore.
