<p>im considering goin to CUNY Lehman College this fall instead on an expensive private school..
its difficult trying to find reviews of this school.</p>

<p>Id like to know your opinions of this school academically, and socially..
also any social advice would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Im looking to pursue a career in business (IB) or law..
if i decide on IB, id most likely be transferring into another school, preferably IVY or a prestigeous business undergrad school after a year or two, to make it easier to land a job in I-Banking</p>

<p>Have you considered CUNY-Baruch? It is very good for business</p>

<p>I agree with Drew, that if you are looking to major in businsess, your best bet would be to got to Baruch. Unfortunately, Lehman is not considered to be on of CUNY's "top flight" schools like Baruch, Queens & Hunter.</p>

<p>As you already know, most of the CUNY schools have their specialized niches.</p>

<p>Business- Baruch bar none
Engineering - City College
Nursing, Social Work, Psychology, - Hunter
Overall Liberal arts education, Teaching- Hunter, Queens, Brooklyn
Community college with great co-op program - Laguardia</p>

<p>Don't rule out the CUNY Honors program-which will provide you with a free ride, computers and other perks</p>

<p>There are a number of schools that have Community college transfer opportunities or articulation agreements with local community colleges. It will take some searching on your part for individual schools, but they are there. Here are a few: </p>

<p>NYU has the CCTOP (Community College Transfer Opportunity Program ) through the steinhardt school of education</p>

<p>The Steinhardt School of Education especially encourages students from community colleges to complete their baccalaureate degrees in teacher education, health, nursing, communications, and the arts. Through the Community College Transfer Opportunity Program (CCTOP), the school has signed transfer agreements with numerous community colleges in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. These agreements enable associate's degree students from these colleges to transfer at least 60 credits toward the baccalaureate degree at the School of Education. Transfer agreements also exist for Nursing students from over thirty regional community colleges and hospital-based nursing programs.</p>

<p>To qualify for this program, applicants must meet the school's admission requirements. Special scholarships are available to students from selected community colleges. Students from other community colleges outside of the metropolitan area may request a preadmissions transfer credit evaluation of credits already completed toward the associate's degree. </p>

<p>Students transferring to The Steinhardt School of Education from:</p>

<p>Bergen Community College, Bronx Community College, Borough of Manhattan Community College, Housatonic Community-Technical College, Kingsborough Community College, LaGuardia Community College, Middlesex County College, Nassau Community College, Queensborough Community College, Rockland Community College, Suffolk County Community College or Westchester Community may be eligible to participate in our Community College Transfer Opportunity Program (CCTOP). </p>

<p>Eligibility Requirements</p>

<p>You are eligible to transfer to NYU through The Community College Transfer Opportunity Program (CCTOP) if you are currently attending or have recently graduated from one of the participating community colleges, have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher, have at least 48 transferable credits (30 of which must be from the participating community college), intend to study full time in The Steinhardt School of Education, and are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Students who have already earned a bachelor's degree are not eligible.</p>

<p>Columbia University has the Serrano Scholars Program </p>

<p>Overview </p>

<p>The Serrano Scholars Program is a unique partnership of public and private institutions of higher education that aims to encourage and prepare college students from diverse ethnic backgrounds to enter careers in international affairs and national security.

<p>Sybbie- Just wanted to bump this up. The info may be helpful to alot of other kids. Thanks.

<p>bump.</p>

<p>yea, unfortunately the deadline for Baruch was Feb 1st, and i do not want to wait a semester.
damn...</p>

<p>i would most likely be transferring after a year or two into either Stern, Columbia, or Baruch because im thinking of going into IB right out of undergrad.</p>

<p>what do u suggest i do?
i will also have to be commuting daily. I live in Yonkers,NY which is right at the border to the Bronx</p>

<p>i wish i had found this site while i was applying to school</p>

<p>I am Brooklyn born and breed - so I claim little knowledge about the Bronx. I did check out CUNY/Lehman site. Lehman doesn't strike me as being "overly" business oriented but if you are planning to transfer anyway, there may be very basic courses that you will need even if you transfer to Baruch or Stern. So you can take your basic English Comp. Management course etc. at Lehman. I suggest you carefully check the CUNY website. You can find out about the schools and their offerings. Bronx Community college seemed to be more business related, so you may want to think about that school too. Also do not overlook Westchester cc- as many of these credits can be transferred to another school.<br>
A word of warning re Baruch. Though it is a wonderful school for business- its lack of dorms or a true campus may be a negative. My d's boyfriend from Long Island went to Baruch. He felt that there was so much time between classes (and some classes were at night), his days were extremely long and exhausting. He often had a 12 hour day or more as he would leave for school via LIRR at 8:00AM and not be home until 8:00 at night or later. So where I initially thought Baruch was a great place for him, I did see the negative side. He is now back at Nassau Comm. college and will be transferring once again. So please take that into consideration.</p>
