Become Part of Lehman's Fast 4 Business Program
In Spring 2015, Lehman launched the Fast 4 Business Program, a pilot program that is designed to encourage and promote the timely completion of a 120 credit Baccalaureate degree. The BBA Business degree program was selected for this pilot since it is the largest and most popular major at Lehman College.
The Fast 4 Business Program is available to both full and part-time students who are committed to completing 30 credit hours each year. The Fast 4 Business students will receive a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration (BBA) within 4 years for freshmen, or within 2 years for transfer students. Entry into the program can begin at the start of any term (Spring, Summer, Fall).
In return for their commitment to the Fast 4 Business Program, students will receive:
- Special major advising.
- Priority registration into required major courses.
- Textbook voucher and mass transit discounts.
- The Fast 4 Business Program degree guarantee
. This assures students who have met all program requirements that they will complete their degree within 4 years for freshmen, and within 2 years for transfer students.
Here’s what a commitment to the Fast 4 Business Program requires of our students:
- Meet with a dedicated academic major adviser to review and choose from Fast 4 Business curriculum map options.
- Obtain no less than a 2.7 GPA in the first four required BBA courses.
- Complete the required courses/credits defined by the Fast 4 Business Program curriculum map.
- Maintain good academic standing as determined by the College throughout the Fast 4 Business Program.
- Meet financial assistance and other necessary deadlines, and submit graduation application within the 4-year or 2-year time frame.
- Print, sign, and submit the Fast 4 Business Program Guarantee to your academic advisor.
The Fast 4 Business pilot was developed as a result of an American Council on Education (ACE) Change and Innovation Lab project. Funded by the Lumina Foundation, this program helps colleges and universities implement significant and sustainable initiatives to increase the number of first-generation and nontraditional students who gain a college degree.
