About

Since 1969, the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent College’s success has been founded on the principle of collaboration. Our unique consortium, one of the oldest in the country, consists of 6 member colleges and universities in the Lehigh Valley, as well as 6 associate member institutions in the eastern Pennsylvania region.

VISION
A pioneering collective of distinctive colleges and universities serving the large community through impactful collaboration, life-long learning and academic excellence. Each member is stronger and more distinctive as a result of the opportunities and resources optimized through LVAIC.

MISSION
The Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges is a community of independent colleges and universities growing stronger through collaboration.

LVAIC’s early aspirations sought to nurture academic research and professional development for faculty and staff and expand educational options for students. Now, we continue to work towards advancing and enhancing the uniquely competitive strengths of each of our member institutions.
