Keystone homepage Keystone Enterprise Services has formed a strategic distance education partnership with Lehigh University of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, wherein Lehigh University will enhance its distance learning educational program using Keystone’s interactive satellite-training network.

The service transmits Graduate courses live from studio classrooms located on the Lehigh campus to Keystone client sites and elsewhere. Students can see and hear all aspects of the course presentation, and communicate with the instructor by phone-bridge. Companies and professionals recognize the value of Lehigh's programs. For example, Paul Krolikowski, Merck and Co. Inc., said "As a Distance Ed student, my experience at Lehigh has been extremely rewarding and certainly challenging. The advantages of the satellite program were invaluable to me and gave the flexibility I needed as a research scientist." Lehigh University is a leader in the field of offering Graduate degrees and certificates by distance. It develops, delivers and supports distance education programs nationwide that allow companies to cost-effectively develop workforce skills and provide professional training. The distance education programs at Lehigh University provide students with the same level of educational excellence for which Lehigh University is renowned. Students can earn a Master’s degree or take selected courses for credit or professional development.
