THE LEHMAN SCHOLARS PROGRAM
Director of Studies: Gary Schwartz (Carman Hall, Northeast Plaza)
The Lehman Scholars Program (LSP) is an educational program intended for
capable and highly motivated students who have the desire and ability to
pursue a somewhat more traditional liberal arts course of study. The program
offers the advantages of a small, intimate college—special courses,
seminars, and individual counseling.
Special Features. The specific features of The Lehman Scholars Program
are as follows:
- Students are exempt from all Degree Requirements. Students, however,
must pass the CUNY Skills Assessment Tests to be admitted to the program,
and must meet all course prerequisites and Major Requirements.
- Students are expected to fulfill the following requirements of the
program:
- a one-semester honors course in English composition;
- two years of a foreign language at the college level or its equivalent;
- four honors seminars, three at the 100-level and one at the 300-level
from the four different academic areas—Fine and Performing Arts, Humanities,
Natural Science, and Social Science; and
- a senior honors essay;
There is one exception to the above:
- Students who enter the program with more than 30 credits may be considered
for exemption from one of the 100-level seminars after consultation with
the director of the program.
- Mentors. Each student entering the program will be assigned to a
faculty mentor in his or her field of interest. The mentor will advise the
student in the areas of program planning and academic and career goals.
Application Procedure
Students who have earned 64 or fewer college credits may apply for either
September or January admission. They will be notified as to whether they
have been accepted in time for the following semester's registration. The
application form is available in the LSP Office, Carman Hall, Northeast
Plaza.
