LECOM will invest more than $4 million to renovate and equip two Seton Hill campus buildings.

Seton Hill's partnership with LECOM includes the creation of a cooperative degree program. Qualified Seton Hill students will be able to complete the bachelor of science and doctor of osteopathic medicine degrees in as few as seven years.
