  • Lehman College partners with CUNY community colleges to develop a clear pathway for students to follow when seeking to transfer to Lehman College upon completion of their Associates degree.  Regardless of whether a formal articulation agreement exists for a specific community college program, benefits of this partnership include:

    • The opportunity to earn degrees from two quality public institutions with the lowest tuition rates regionally
    • The ability to transfer up to 70 community college credits (and 90 overall) toward a Bachelor’s degree at Lehman
    • Dedicated Lehman College staff to answer any questions you may have throughout the application, admissions, and registration processes
    • Academic Advising services from professional advisors
    • Up-to-the-minute information about recruitment events, open houses, etc.

  • It is recommended that students transfer to Lehman College once they have completed their Associate degree. Students transferring to Lehman College with an AA or AS degree with a GPA of 2.0 or higher will be considered to have met their lower level General Education requirements. Students transferring to Lehman with an A.A.S. degree will be required to complete the CUNY Pathways General Education Curriculum.

  • Degree Requirements for students interested in transferring to Lehman College.

  • While we encourage students to complete their Associate degree, some students choose to transfer to Lehman College before completing their Associate degree. In these cases, we suggest that students who can complete their Associate degree requirements during their first two semesters at Lehman College work with Advisors at both Lehman and Hostos Community College to ensure that students maximize opportunities to take Lehman courses that will apply to requirements at both colleges.  Students who complete their Associate degree while enrolled at Lehman College via this reverse transfer process will have their lower-level General Education requirements reevaluated as an Associate degree transfer student.

  • Degree Requirements for non-Associate’s degree holders.

You can use the Transfer Explorer (TREX) tool to see how credits will transfer from any CUNY college into Lehman. You can use this tool to help plan your transfer to ensure you are taking courses that will benefit you the most upon transfer to Lehman.

Information for current College Discovery students

  • Current College Discovery students interested in transferring to Lehman College should consult the Lehman College SEEK Program transfer information webpage.
