All decisions on admission to the Lehman Nursing Program are made by the Nursing Application Evaluation Committee; their decisions are final.
The Nursing Application Evaluation Committee uses the following criteria in evaluating candidates for the Nursing Program:
✓ While a minimum cumulative G.P.A. of 2.75 in the Biology and Chemistry prerequisite courses is required for consideration for admission, this part of the admission requirements is competitive.
✓ Space in the Nursing Program is limited. Meeting the minimum requirements for admission does not guarantee acceptance into the Program.
✓ Even when a prerequisite Biology or Chemistry course is repeated, only the FIRST grade earned is the grade that will be used to determine eligibility for admission to the nursing program. This includes courses transferred to Lehman.
✓ Any grade below a C in any of the Biology and Chemistry prerequisite courses results in automatic disqualification from the Nursing Program. (CR, P, and other grades that do not indicate how well you performed in a course also result in automatic disqualification.)
✓ A minimum grade of C is required in Foundation prerequisite courses.
✓ Students are allowed to retake HIN 269 or NUR course in the major once. A second grade below C in a major course result in automatic dismissal from the Program.
✓ Students must earn at least a “B” on the repeated course.
✓ Minimum passing scores in each section of the Pre-Nursing Admission Assessment Exam (HESI A2)
Note, Lehman College’s nursing program is competitive. Admissions to the program will be based on competitive applicant pool until all seats for each program are filled. If you have questions about your nursing application, contact nursing.admissions@lehman.cuny.edu.
