Bachelor's Degrees

ADP's Bachelor’s Degree program serves students who are 25 years of age and older and specializes in helping adults who have never gone to college and those who have completed some college but were unable to finish their degree. ADP staff are experts at working with adults. We understand that you often have full-time jobs, children, and very busy lives. Our advising is designed to help you be both informed and realistic about the time required to succeed in college. Our goal is the same as yours—we want you to earn your degree and all of our advising is geared toward that objective.

Students in the Adult Degree Program earn a regular Lehman College degree and, depending upon your availability, may choose any of the more than 50 majors offered at Lehman College. Students may also design their own course of study through our Self-Determined Studies Program.

The Social Work program and the Nursing program at Lehman College require a secondary application process. ADP advisors will help ADP students apply to these programs once you have completed the pre-requisite courses. Students who have already earned a license as an RN and want to complete their Bachelor’s degree in Nursing should apply through Lehman College’s main admissions office instead of through ADP.
