We offer an extensive array of master’s programs—more than 30—in arts and sciences, health fields, and teacher education.

APPLYING AS A NONMATRICULANT

To apply as a non-matriculated student, you must provide the following:

• a student transcript showing the award of your undergraduate degree
• indication that you achieved a grade point average of 2.7 or higher in your undergraduate work (in most cases the student transcript is sufficient)
• the approval of the program adviser from the department that offers the course(s) you plan to take.

You should apply as a non-matriculated student if:

• you are fulfilling prerequisites to apply for matriculation at a later date (but see the policy regarding transfer credit);
• you are taking courses for your own enrichment and not intending to pursue a graduate degree;
• you are acquiring credits to enhance your standing in your profession and not intending to pursue a graduate degree
• you are attending Lehman on permit from another CUNY college

APPLYING AS A MATRICULANT

Matriculated students have applied and been accepted into one of Lehman College’s master’s programs. To achieve matriculated status, you must complete the application for matriculation and supply the following documents:

• official college transcripts
• letters of recommendation as required by your department
• a career goals essay
• test scores as required by your department
• LAST-(Programs in Education)
• GMAT-(MS in Accounting)
• GRE-(Master of Public Health, Counselor Education)
  

All students submitting documents from non–English speaking countries must submit a score of at least 500 (higher in some programs) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

Upon acceptance, you will begin to satisfy the requirements for your master’s degree.

We recommend that you apply for matriculation when you first begin graduate studies if that is possible. You are especially urged to apply for matriculation at the earliest possible date if you are planning to complete a master’s degree program at Lehman and:

• you have completed graduate credits at Lehman or elsewhere
• you are studying toward a second master’s degree
• you have completed 9 or more credits at Lehman College as a non-matriculated student
