East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania and Lehigh Carbon Community College have signed a dual admission agreement.

“This collaboration between our institutions only serves to strengthen our partnership and demonstrates the commitment by ESU and Lehigh Carbon Community College to student success,” said ESU President Marcia G.

Lehigh Carbon Community College students will be required to complete a dual admissions intent form with their application to ESU for consideration.
