CUNY Beyond Header Image

CUNY Beyond is Lehman College’s commitment to prepare every student to be career ready on Day One after graduation. Every step of the academic journey is matched with related job skills, career readiness programs, and exposure to opportunities that will establish students on the pathway to success.

CUNY Beyond begins even before a student attends their first class at Lehman and touches on departments across campus; from academics to student services, career exploration to basic needs.

There are five pillars to CUNY Beyond

Integrated Advising

Students receive meaningful integrated academic and career advising that helps them understand career goals and pathways to get there.

Career Connected Learning
