Transfer Graduate Students
The path to earning a graduate degree doesn’t always start and end in the same college or university.
That’s why our Office of Graduate Studies helps graduate transfer students with credit guidance and support through every step of your transition.
Our generous transfer credit options can potentially save you one or two semesters worth of tuition. That flexibility and our affordability make Lehman a great place to finish your degree. If you’re ready to join us contact the Office of Graduate Studies today.
