Transferring with an Associate’s degree
It is suggested that students transfer to Lehman College once they have completed their Associate’s 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.
Transferring to Lehman without an Associate’s degree
While we encourage students to complete their Associate’s degree, often times students choose to transfer to Lehman College before completing their Associate’s degree. In these cases we suggest that students, who can complete their Associate's degree during their first two semesters at Lehman College, work in tandem with Advisors at both Lehman and LaGuardia Community College to ensure that students maximize opportunities to take courses that satisfy both their degree requirements at Lehman and the remaining coursework at LaGuardia Community College. The transfer database contained on this page can serve as a tool to help students identify courses that can be applied to both their Lehman degree and their LaGuardia Community College degree. Students that complete their Associates degree while enrolled at Lehman College will have their lower-level General Education requirements waived as mentioned above.
