If the costs were the same, I might lean Lehigh. But at $20K/year less, Union seems like the better value.

Union has no business school, but they do offer an interesting major in “Managerial Economics”. If you were to decide that you don’t like engineering (which is not unusual), the “Managerial Economics” track looks like a practical, quantitative alternative. Also, it looks like Union upperclassmen can get undergraduate credit by taking certain graduate-level business courses at Clarkson University (which has a branch campus in Schenectady, close to Union). Those who do this can optionally continue for a fifth year of study with Clarkson to get an MBA.
