decision by the University's Board of Trustees to create a comprehensive senior college in the Bronx with its own faculty, curriculum, and administration. The College took over the campus that, since 1931, had served as the Bronx branch of Hunter College, known as Hunter-in-the- Bronx. Adjacent to the historic Jerome Park Reservoir, the first four buildings in the plan—Gillet and Davis halls, the Music Building, and the Gymnasium—were completed in 1931 by the New York State Works Progress Administration. The original campus plan called for nine buildings, but the Great Depression delayed construction, and the ambitious plan was later abandoned by Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia. For a decade before the entry of the United States in the Second World War, only women students attended, taking their first two years of study at the Bronx campus and then transferring to Hunter’s Manhattan campus to complete their undergraduate work. Shortly after U.S. entry into the war, the students and faculty vacated the campus and turned over the facilities to the U.S. Navy, which used them as a training station for the newly organized WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service). To commemorate this period, the Navy later installed a ship’s bell from the U.S.S. Columbia on the campus. In 1946 the campus won a niche in world history when it was made available to the United Nations at the urging of New York City officials. From March to August 1946, the first American meetings of the Security Council were held in the Gymnasium Building where intercollegiate basketball, archery, swimming, and other sports have been played. During festivities marking the 40th anniversary of the United Nations in 1986, the Southern New York State Division of the United Nations Association presented the College with a commemorative plaque, now displayed outside the Gymnasium Building. The College participated in the United Nations’ 50th anniversary activities in 1995-96. Normal collegiate activity resumed at the campus in 1947, but, in addition to women, the Bronx branch began accepting former servicemen, who studied in separate classes. In 1951 the campus became fully coeducational, and a four-year curriculum was introduced. The process of separating the Bronx campus from Hunter College into a separate unit began in 1967. Dr. Leonard Lief, chairman of the English Department, was named provost and made responsible for overseeing the transition. On July 1, 1968, Lehman College began an independent existence, with Dr. Lief as president. The Board of Higher Education named the new college after Herbert H. Lehman, in recognition of the commitment to public service exemplified by the four-time governor of New York State who later became a U.S. Senator and was the first director-general of UNRRA (the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration). The College was formally dedicated on March 28, 1969, the 91st anniversary of Governor Lehman’s birth. Each year, on or about March 28, the College commemorates the double anniversary by inviting a distinguished speaker to deliver the Herbert H. Lehman Memorial Lecture. Much has occurred at the colleges of City University since 1968. As the only CUNY senior college in the borough, Lehman College has adapted to meet changing conditions and is poised to respond to new needs and challenges. Dr. Ricardo R. Fernández succeeded Leonard Lief, the founding president of Lehman College, on September 1, 1990. Dr. Fernández had been assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs and professor of educational policy and community studies at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. Throughout his tenure, Dr. Fernández has affirmed both the College’s commitment to access to higher education for the economically disadvantaged and its strong commitment to educational excellence. On the undergraduate level, Lehman's General Education Curriculum is designed to provide a broad knowledge of the achievements and methods of the liberal arts and sciences and to develop student abilities to participate responsively in informed inquiry into subjects of both public and personal concern. It requires a series of courses in writing, mathematics, foreign language, and natural sciences. Students must also complete at least one course from a list of courses in seven areas: Individuals and Society; Socio-Political Structures; Literature; The Arts; Comparative Culture; Historical Studies; Knowledge, Self, and Values. In addition, students must complete two upper-division interdisciplinary courses: one in Topics in the Humanities and the Sciences and one in the American Experience. To develop writing skills, students must complete four courses designated as writing- intensive. Major and minor fields of study are also required. On the graduate level, the College has developed professional programs in nursing, teacher and counselor preparation, accounting, business, computer science, health sciences, public health, social work, and speech-language pathology. The College also offers strong traditional liberal arts graduate programs in art, biology, English, history, Spanish, and mathematics. For more than two decades, Lehman has deepened its involvement with the surrounding community. The opening of the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in 1980 and the Lehman College Art Gallery in 1984 has made the College a cultural center for the region. Together with the City and the Humanities Program, the Department of Music, and the Theatre program, they present dozens of concerts, plays, dance performances, and exhibitions that are free or nominally priced. The Art Gallery is housed in the Fine Arts Building, which was designed by the renowned architect Marcel Breuer—as was Shuster Hall, which houses the College’s administrative offices. The Concert Hall, the adjacent Lehman College Library, and the two Breuer buildings offer a striking contrast to the Tudor-Gothic architecture of the original College buildings, providing an environment of considerable architectural interest. Anchoring the campus on its northern end is the APEX, designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Rafael Viñoly. Rising immediately to the south of the APEX is Science Hall, a new science facility, designed by the firm of Perkins + Will. The Multimedia Center, which officially opened in 2010, features an all-digital newsroom, custom-built broadcasting studio, eight- room editing suite, production control facilities, computerized music studio, graphic workstations, and other resources for both student and faculty use. Lehman College also provides a variety of community services. The Institute for Literacy Studies sponsors classes to teach adults fundamentals of reading and writing, while the Speech and Hearing Center offers comprehensive evaluations of hearing and speech-language disorders. There is close collaboration between the College’s teacher and counselor education programs and Bronx school districts: • The New York City Writing Project supports workshops for teachers of writing as well as research at all educational levels. • The Center for School/College Collaboratives receives external funding for projects that focus on increasing educational success for Bronx students and their families and preparing the students to enter and complete higher education. The Center works with the entire school community—administrators, teachers, students, and parents—and collaborates with the Bronx Regional Offices of the New York City Department of Education. • The Bronx Institute, funded with private and government grants, is helping more than 8,000 Bronx schoolchildren become academically successful. Lehman also has joined with the New York City Department of Education to help develop a number of small high schools in the Bronx. The schools—housed within larger, traditional high schools—are formed around the themes of the visual arts, teaching and the professions, music, health sciences, nursing, musical theatre, and international studies. In addition, in Fall 2003, the High School of American Studies at Lehman College opened on the Lehman campus. One of New York City’s new specialized high schools and the only one to focus on American history, the school represents a collaboration among About Lehman College Lehman College, the New York City Department of Education, and the Gilder-Lehrman Foundation. It has been listed for three consecutive years by U.S. News and World Report as one of the nation's top 100 public high schools. Mission, Vision, and Values Statements Mission Statement Lehman College serves the Bronx and surrounding region as an intellectual, economic, and cultural center. Lehman College provides undergraduate and graduate studies in the liberal arts and sciences and professional education within a dynamic research environment, while embracing diversity and actively engaging students in their academic, personal, and professional development. Vision Statement Lehman College has entered a new era in its history as an institution of higher education. Already known for its outstanding faculty, dedicated staff, superb library, art gallery, theaters, speech and hearing clinic, and athletic facilities, the College is now building a new state-of-the-art, environmentally "green" science facility that will invigorate faculty and student research as well as prepare Lehman students for science-based careers. Supported by the University’s expanding technological resources, the College will promote creative teaching strategies, greater access to courses through online learning, off-campus access to library resources and enhanced student services. The new Multimedia Center will stimulate technological innovation in all areas of communications and the arts for both the College and the region. Lehman has always been a commuter campus that prides itself on its diversity and commitment to multicultural understanding. Now, the College looks forward to providing a residential experience to attract a wider range of students and lead to the development of new learning communities to enhance student success. Lehman College will prepare students to live and work in the global community through new interdisciplinary programs, such as environmental studies and international business, along with study abroad and experiential learning opportunities. The College’s geographic information systems and numerous partnerships with schools, hospitals, social service and governmental agencies, small businesses, major corporations, and cultural and scientific institutions will contribute to the economic development of the region. Service learning and internship opportunities will be further developed to foster the engaged citizenship and commitment to public service embodied in its namesake, Herbert H. Lehman. Recognized for small classes, close interaction between students and faculty, a successful Teacher Academy and Honors College, and a caring and supportive environment, Lehman College will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary in 2018 as the college of choice in the region, committed to preparing students for graduate studies, professional careers, and lifelong learning.

Academic Organization The College's academic departments and programs are divided into four schools: School of Arts and Humanities African and African American Studies American Studies Art Business and Liberal Arts City and Humanities Comparative Literature Disability Studies English History Institute for Irish American Studies Journalism, Communication, and Theatre Languages and Literatures Latin American, Latino, and Puerto Rican Studies Linguistics Middle Eastern Studies Music Philosophy Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences Urban Studies Women's Studies School of Education Bronx Institute Center for School/College Collaboratives Counseling, Leadership, Literacy, and Special Education Early Childhood and Childhood Education Institute for Literacy Studies Middle and High School Education School of Natural and Social Sciences Anthropology Biological Sciences Chemistry Economics and Business Earth, Environmental, and Geospatial Sciences Health Sciences Mathematics and Computer Science Nursing Physics and Astronomy Political Science Psychology Social Work School of Adult and Professional Studies Adult Degree Program Continuing Education CUNY on the Concourse Research Institutes and Community Resources Bronx Data Center The Bronx Data Center collects and analyzes demographic material related to the Bronx and adjacent areas, in order to provide service to the Lehman community, as well as to cultural, social service, civic, media, and other organizations. The Center focuses on data for very small geographic units (down to the city block), as well as the Bronx as a whole. Historical data going back several decades complement the latest census information. The Center specializes in the graphic presentation of data through computer-generated maps. See: www.lehman.edu/deannss/bronxdatactr/discover/bxtext.htm The Bronx Institute The mission of the Bronx Institute at Lehman College is to foster faculty research relevant to the improvement of education and the quality of life in the Bronx; and to provide a forum to discuss, analyze, and identify potential solutions to contemporary educational, social, political, cultural, and economic challenges facing the Bronx community, in particular, and other urban areas at large. As a community resource, the Bronx Institute is committed to act in cooperation with other academic institutions, community groups, and organizations to develop joint projects, especially those that enrich the educational needs of all Bronx students. The vision of the Institute is to foster and promote equity and excellence in the education and learning of Bronx students in grades K-16 by involving administrators, teachers, parents, and the students themselves in high-quality programs that support and enhance the educational opportunities of the students. The Center for School/College Collaboratives The Center for School/College Collaboratives designs and Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 About Lehman College implements programs, in partnership with Bronx schools, to enrich student learning and ensure student readiness and motivation to graduate high school and enter college. Programs offered by the Center primarily emphasize student outcomes and achievement. These programs encompass: student and teacher enrichment in mathematics, science, and technology; recruitment of middle and high school students for careers in teaching; intensive work with at-risk students to prepare them for educational transitions from middle to high school and from high school to college; pre-service teacher preparation for bilingual students and paraprofessionals; in-service professional development in technology and interdisciplinary teaching; and close working relationships with over twenty Bronx schools. Programs focus on working intensively with students and teachers from particular schools and on building pipelines for students since these efforts have been shown to have greater potential for success than programs that draw students from a wide range of schools. The Center subscribes to several Principles of Collaboration: all partners are equal; planning and implementation involve school administrators/teachers/staff/students/parents; broadening student/teacher contact in informal, hands-on, project-based settings; activating parent and family involvement; focusing on integration of student learning experiences; developing a plan of action; establishing linkages among projects; and encouraging high school students to qualify for, and take, college credit courses while still in high school. The Center also houses Lehman's well-regarded, CUNY- sponsored College Now Program. The goal of the program is to insure that all students meet and exceed the performance standards required for high school graduation and that all those who wish to pursue postsecondary study are prepared to do so. Lehman has had a version of College Now or Bridge to College since 1985, when qualified students involved in the College's various funded programs were invited to enroll in college-credit courses. The College Now eleventh-and twelfth-grade program offers a variety of college-credit courses depending on student interest and ability. These include courses in psychology, studio art and art history, calculus and pre-calculus, education, biology, English, history, computer science, economics, geology, philosophy, speech, and sociology. Funding for Center programs has been provided by the New York City Department of Education, U.S. Department of Education, National Aeronautics and Space Agency, New York State Education Department, the City University of New York, Fund for Improvement of Post-Secondary Education, Aaron Diamond Foundation, and others. Center for Human Rights and Peace Studies The Center for Human Rights and Peace Studies advances social justice and human dignity in an interdisciplinary fashion through active involvement of faculty, students, and community in research and teaching. The Center builds on the College’s unique history: the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights began at Lehman College when the United Nations met at Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 the College. Lehman College students, often immigrants and the first in their families to access higher education, engender a broad understanding of human rights. The Center unites student and faculty engagement on local and global rights issues in New York and the greater world community. CUNY Institute for Health Equity The CUNY Institute for Health Equity (CIHE) was established to narrow the current gaps in the health status of New York City's underserved ethnic/racial populations. CIHE will work to identify and respond to the social determinants of health that contribute to the high rates of morbidity and mortality among these populations, and provide technical support to its community partners so that they may better serve their respective communities and educate public health students in the importance of addressing health equity. The knowledge obtained through CHIE work will be analyzed, translated, and disseminated to the public so that these issues may be more effectively addressed. The Institute for Literacy Studies The Institute for Literacy Studies, founded in 1984, is a research unit of The City University of New York. The Institute's mission— reforming and improving urban education—has deep significance in its home borough of the Bronx as well as throughout New York City and the nation. The Institute defines urban education in its broadest, most inclusive meaning to comprise the complex web of systems, settings, and relationships that foster learning. It works to advance research, articulate theory, and implement effective practice in literacy and mathematics education through initiatives in a variety of educational settings K-16, including schools, community-based after-school programs, adult literacy programs, and CUNY campuses. Through its Adult Learning Center, the Institute offers basic education, English language instruction, and GED preparation to members of the community who are not enrolled in school or college. See www.lehman.edu/literacystudies. The Institute for Irish American Studies The CUNY Institute for Irish American Studies was established by the CUNY Board of Trustees to focus on the Irish-American Diaspora and its impact on American culture and society. The Institute, first and foremost, serves as a clearinghouse for research opportunities in Irish-American studies for students, staff, and faculty on all of the campuses of the City University of New York. Current projects being undertaken by the Institute include Publishing in Irish America 1820-1922, Great Irish Famine Curricula In-Service Training, Documenting Return Emigration, Curriculum Design: Teaching the Irish Language in America, the "New Irish" and Film, Mapping Irish America, and the Irish in the Americas. In line with the current research projects of the Institute, an extensive program of public lectures and events is sponsored each semester. The Institute invites researchers and leaders in the community to present at its Wednesday evening lecture series. The Institute also sponsors day-long symposia on specific topics, About Lehman College Irish language conversation circles, and celebrations of the arts. The Institute additionally makes a number of distance education courses arising from its research areas available to students at CUNY campuses and throughout the country. These courses make use of online software as well as tours and lectures in the U.S. and abroad.

An applicant who fails to meet all of the above criteria may still be considered for admission if she or he shows evidence of strong academic preparation, such as exceeding the minimum requirements in college preparatory classes, or strong performance on other assessments of academic skills, such as Regents examinations. • GED and TOEFL Score Requirements: Applicants with a minimum total standard G.E.D. score of 3100 or higher on all five content area tests will be considered. Applicants educated in non-English speaking schools must score 500 or higher on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to be considered for admission. The above admission criteria are subject to change. Inquiries and appeals may be directed to Laurie Austin, director, Admissions and Recruitment, at 718-960-8706. The SEEK Program SEEK (Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge) is a New York State sponsored higher education opportunity program of CUNY. The program's special admission standards provide access to Lehman College and other City University senior colleges to talented and motivated high school graduates who do not meet traditional admission requirements. Students must also meet specific low-income requirements. SEEK students receive specialized support services to enrich their academic career and personal development. Services include intensive instructional support, including tutoring, computerassisted- instruction, study skills training, and small-group course reviews (supplemental instruction); academic counseling support; and a small amount of supplemental financial aid for college- related expenses, including college fees, books, and supplies. The amount of SEEK financial aid is based on individual need and fiscal availability. SEEK students are eligible for up to ten semesters of TAP assistance, if needed. Admitted SEEK freshmen are required to participate in a four-tosix- week enrichment pre-freshman summer program at the College before they enroll for their first semester of study. Once enrolled, they are required to maintain full-time matriculated day status, sustain a satisfactory academic standing, and participate in all recommended program support activities. SEEK students are eligible for up to ten semesters of SEEK sponsorship while working toward their bachelor’s degree. Freshman applicants who wish to be admitted under the Lehman College SEEK Program should file a CUNY Freshman Application and complete section four, entitled "SEEK/CD Opportunity Programs." Freshman applicants should have no prior college experience. Freshman admission to SEEK occurs mostly in the fall semester. Transfer student applicants—those students who have attended another college, university, or post-secondary institution—may be eligible for admission as SEEK students if they have previously participated in SEEK/CD, EOP, or HEOP at CUNY, SUNY or New York state private institutions respectively. Transfer applicants should contact the SEEK Program. Inquiries about the SEEK. Program at Lehman College may be made to the SEEK Program Office at 718-960-7979 or seek@lehman.cuny.edu. More information about the program is available on the Lehman College website: www.lehman.edu. Testing Requirements Freshman applicants must take the CUNY Assessment Tests for admissions purposes. As of Fall 2001, entering students are required to pass all three CUNY Assessment Tests (reading, writing, Math1 and Math2) before enrolling at Lehman and other senior colleges of the City University of New York. Students who are eligible for the SEEK program may be admitted to a baccalaureate program without first demonstrating basic skills proficiency; however, these students must demonstrate the requisite level of proficiency in reading, writing, and mathematics within two years of initial enrollment. The two-year time limit is interpreted as consisting of the required pre-freshman immersion Admissions 11 program, four regular semesters, two winter immersion programs, and the summer immersion program at the end of each academic year. Transfer Students Transfer student applicants—-those students who have attended another college, university, or postsecondary institution—are admitted through the University Application Processing Center (UAPC). Transfer students can access the online application at www.cuny.edu. Transfer applications must be accompanied by a $70.00 application fee. Transfer applicants must submit their high school transcripts and all official college and other postsecondary educational transcripts. Students who fail to provide all transcripts are subject to penalty. All transfer students are subject to City University of New York testing requirements. For details, see the Office of Testing and Scholarships at www.lehman.edu. The minimum requirements for transfer students are as follows: • Students transferring fewer than 12 college credits must satisfy Lehman's freshman admission criteria. • Applicants transferring from 12 up to 24 college credits must satisfy either the freshman admission criteria or present a 2.75 cumulative Grade Point Average. • Students with 24 or more credits must have a cumulative Grade Point Average of 2.3 or better. • Students with a CUNY/SUNY A.A. or A.S. degree must have a 2.0 cumulative Grade Point Average or better. • Students with an A.A.S. degree or a degree from outside CUNY/SUNY must have a cumulative Grade Point Average of 2.3 or better. These admission criteria are subject to change. Inquiries and appeals may be directed to Laurie Austin, director, Admissions and Recruitment, located in Shuster Hall, Room 161, or call 718960- 8706. Testing Requirements for Incoming Freshmen, Transfer Students, and Information Regarding CUNY Assessment Tests Exemptions As of October 2008, all transfer applicants are required to show proficiency in all three CUNY Assessment Tests (reading, writing, math1 and math2) before being admitted to a senior college of CUNY. The University has set the following standards for determining readiness to do college-level work: • The minimum passing score on the Reading CUNY Assessment Test is 70. • The minimum passing score on the Writing CUNY Assessment Test is 56. • The minimum passing score on the Math1 CUNY Assessment Test is 45. Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 12 Admissions • The minimum passing score on the Math2 CUNY Assessment Test is 45. • Entering students are exempt from taking the CUNY Reading and Writing Assessment Tests if they achieve an SAT Verbal score of 480 or above; an ACT Verbal score of 20 or above; or a score of 75 or above on the New York State Regents Examination in English. • Entering students are exempt from taking the CUNY Math1 and Math2 Tests if they achieve an SAT Math score of 510 or above; an ACT Math score of 21 or above; for applicants for freshman and transfer admission for fall 2012 and thereafter, applicants may demonstrate proficiency by passing at least two of the three new Regents math tests with a scaled score of 65 or higher and scoring at least a 75 on one of the tests. This will be the uniform minimum standard for the University for all applicants starting fall 2012 regardless of high school graduation date. • Transfer students who have taken a three-credit Freshman Composition course (or a higher level English course for which Freshman Composition is a prerequisite) at an accredited college and earned a grade of "C" or higher ("C-" is not acceptable) are exempt. • Transfer students with the equivalent of a Freshman Composition course (or a higher level course for which Freshman Composition is a prerequisite) earned through testing (e.g., AP or IB) or a "College Now" -type course taken in high school are exempt, provided the equivalency appears on the official transcript of an accredited college. • Transfer students who have taken a three-credit college-level math course at an accredited college and earned a grade of "C" or higher ("C-" is not acceptable) are exempt. • Transfer students with the equivalent of a college-level math course earned through testing (e.g., AP or IB) or a "College Now" -type course taken in high school are exempt, provided the equivalency appears on the official transcript of an accredited college. • Any student admitted for Fall 2008 or prior who has a historical exemption based on an SAT math score of 480 (or ACT score of 20) is exempt. • Any student with a historical pass on the CUNY Assessment Test in Math (including the old CUNY Math Test) is exempt. CUNY/SUNY Community College Graduates To earn the bachelor's degree at Lehman, CUNY/SUNY Associate Degree graduates need to complete the courses required for the major/minor, two upper-division interdisciplinary courses, one writing-intensive course, and elective courses if needed to meet the minimum 120-credit requirement. CUNY/SUNY Associate Degree graduates who have substantial liberal arts and science credits from their community colleges will generally need only 60 credits to complete the Lehman bachelor's degree. Students transferring fewer liberal arts and science credits to Lehman from their Associate Degree programs may need more than 60 Lehman credits to meet New York State education regulations. New York State education regulations mandate a Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 minimum of 90 liberal arts and sciences credits for the B.A., 60 credits for the B.S., and 30 for the B.F.A. and B.B.A. Second Degree Students Transferring to Lehman Students who previously have earned a bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited program verified by CUNY are deemed skills proficient. Only students who document the degree at the time of application for admission to the College they currently attend are entitled to this exemption. Prohibition on Submission of Fraudulent Admission Documents The submission of documents in support of applications for admission, such as transcripts, diplomas, test scores, references, or the applications themselves, that are forged, fraudulent, altered from the original, obtained under false pretenses, or otherwise deceptive is prohibited and is punishable by a five-year ban on applying for admission or five-year suspension from CUNY. A second violation is punishable by a lifetime ban on applying for admission or expulsion from CUNY. Admission of Students Who May Pose a Risk to the College The College reserves the right to deny admission to any student if in its judgment, the presence of that student on campus poses an undue risk to the safety or security of the College or the college community. That judgment will be based on an individualized determination taking into account any information the College has about a student's criminal record and the particular circumstances of the college, including the presence of a child care center, a public school or public school students on the campus. In addition, the College may consider factors such as the amount of time since the crime was committed; the amount of jail time served by the student; the number of years the student was on probation or parole; whether the student has satisfied probation or parole requirements at the time of the student's application; whether the student has completed drug, alcohol, sex offender or other treatment; and what work or educational experience the student has had after the conviction. Finally, if the student is known to have been assisted by a CUNY-sponsored or other reentry program or initiative, the college will consult with a counselor or representative from said program. Special Admission Categories Applicants for the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Social Work All students who wish to become candidates for the B.A. degree in social work shall have completed 48 credits, including SWK 237 (Introduction to Social Work) and SOC 166 (Fundamentals of Sociology), achieved a minimum cumulative index of 2.7, and submitted an application to the Social Work Program.

UAPC determines eligibility by the uniform admission standards applied to all Lehman freshman applicants. Registered Nurses City University A.A.S. nursing graduates are allocated by the University Application Processing Center (UAPC) to Lehman College on the basis of space availability, Grade Point Average, and success on the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX).

Visiting Students CUNY students who are pursuing a degree at another CUNY college who wish to take courses at Lehman on a non-degree basis must request a CUNY e-permit online at www.cuny.edu from their home college in order to attend Lehman. Tuition for courses taken at Lehman is paid at the student's home college. The student will not be required to submit any fees to Lehman College. Non-CUNY students who are attending a non-CUNY college must submit an unofficial copy of their college transcript or a letter from their primary college to the Lehman Admissions Office that verifies their current enrollment and good academic standing.

Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 14 Admissions All applicants, including those who are U.S. citizens and permanent residents, may be classified as international students for admissions-processing purposes if their education has taken place outside the United States. These applicants must submit their applications and transcripts through UAPC; they may not apply directly through the College during Direct Admissions periods. All non-English transcripts must be accompanied by an official translation into English as defined by City University guidelines. Veterans The City University maintains a special outreach program for returning veterans who might not be familiar with the opportunities for college study open to them. Veterans desiring to avail themselves of the benefits provided under Public Law 89-358 may register at Lehman as matriculants, paying tuition and fees. If they matriculate, the College may allow them up to eight credits for United States Armed Forces Institute courses in which they have passed final examinations. Matriculated veterans of the U.S. armed forces who (a) have paid tuition and fees, (b) are upper-division students (an upper- division student is one who has received passing grades in courses representing 61 or more credits), and (c) have satisfactorily completed a minimum of 30 credits at Lehman will be awarded credit, but must file an application in order to receive it.

College Now for High School Students College Now is a collaborative initiative of the City University of New York and the New York City Department of Education. Its primary goals are to improve the academic achievement of high school students and to help New York City public high school students meet or exceed the requirements for high school graduation and the admissions requirements for baccalaureate degree programs at the City University of New York. College Now also seeks to provide underprepared high school students with the enriched instruction and enhanced support services they need to do well in high school and to be prepared for college. In most cases, a public high school partners with a CUNY college to design a program of academic and preparatory courses and Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 workshops. College Now also offers two summer programs and professional development opportunities for teachers. High school students can attend a variety of on-campus activities and, depending on their qualifications, choose from the following courses and workshops: • introductory-level college credit courses; and/or • non-credit preparatory courses and workshops; and/or • specially developed high school credit classes. Each college/high school partnership develops its own course offerings based on the needs of the student population at a particular school and the strengths and resources of the institutions involved. Students who enroll in college credit courses must pass the ELA or Math A/B Regents examinations with grades of 75 or better, or achieve a 480 (or equivalent on the revised test) on the SAT verbal and math sections. Senior Citizens New York State residents 60 years and older as of the first day of classes are permitted to enroll as auditors in Lehman College undergraduate courses on a space-available basis, tuition-free; proof of age is required for admission to the program. Individuals enrolling under this program are charged a $65 fee per semester plus the $15 Consolidated Fee. Applications can be obtained and filed in Shuster Hall, Room 161. Senior citizens who wish to enroll for credit must pay full tuition and fees. Immunization Registration Requirement Students who do not submit proof of measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) immunization or who fail to return the meningococcal meningitis response form within a statutory grace period shall be prohibited from attending the institution. For additional information, contact the Health Services Center located in Room 188 of the T-3 Building at 718-960-8900. Public Health Law 2165 requires that postsecondary students be immunized against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR). All registered full-time students and part-time students born on or after January 1, 1957 who are enrolled for at least six, but fewer than twelve semester hours (or equivalent) per semester in an approved degree program or registered certificate program must submit proof of MMR immunization. Students may be exempt from the required MMR immunizations for religious or medical reasons. To qualify for a religious exception, students must submit a signed statement, or in the event the student is a minor (under 18), a signed statement from their parent or guardian, that they hold sincere and genuine religious beliefs that prohibit immunization. To qualify for a medical exception, students must submit a written statement from a licensed physician or nurse practitioner indicating that such immunization may be detrimental to their health. Public Health Law 2167 requires that postsecondary institutions provide written information about meningococcal meningitis to its students and that students complete, sign, and return a meningococcal meningitis response form. Public Health Law 2167 does not require that students be immunized against meningitis. Admissions 15 Public Health Law 2167 requires colleges to distribute written information about meningococcal meningitis disease and vaccination and students to complete, sign, and return to the college, a meningococcal meningitis response form that: (a) confirms that the college has provided the information about meningococcal meningitis; and (b) indicates that either: (1) the student has received immunization against meningococcal meningitis within the ten years preceding the date of the response form; or (2) the student has decided against receiving the vaccination. This law applies to students who are enrolled in at least six semester hours (or the equivalent) per semester. No student may be exempt from receiving information or returning the response form.

Course Repeat Rule for New York State Financial Aid As of May 1987, if a student repeats a course in which a passing grade acceptable to the institution has already been received, the course cannot be included as part of the student's minimum full- time or part-time course load for financial aid purposes. When such courses are included in meeting the minimum requirement, they render the student ineligible for a State award. In the following instances, repeated courses may count toward full-time or part-time study: (1) when a failed course is repeated; (2) when a course may be repeated and credit earned each time. Area of Concentration (Major) Undergraduates who have earned at least 60 credits must file an Area of Concentration form (a major) in the Registrar's Office (Shuster Hall, Room 106) in order to receive any New York State awards.

To be eligible for each academic year, the student must: 1. be a U.S. citizen; 2. be a Federal Pell Grant recipient; 3. be enrolled full-time in a degree program; 4. be enrolled in the first or second year of his/her program of study at a two-year or four-year degree-granting institution (such as CUNY); 5. have completed a rigorous secondary school program of study (after January 1, 2006 if a first-year student, and after January 1, 2005 if a second-year student); 6. if a first-year student, not have been previously enrolled in an undergraduate program; and 7. if a second-year student, have at least a cumulative 3.0 Grade Point Average on a 4.0 scale for the first academic year. In New York State, a Regents Diploma with Honors or Advance Designation serves as evidence of a rigorous secondary school program. A student may also qualify through completion of a prescribed set of courses taken, or two AdvanceD Placement (AP) courses with a minimum score of three (3) on the AP exams or two International Baccalaureate (IB) courses with a score of four (4) on the I.B. exams. The prescribed set of courses must include four years of English, three years of Math (including Algebra I and higher-level courses, such as Algebra II, Geometry, or Data Analysis and Statistics), three years of science (including at least two courses from biology, physics, or chemistry), three years of social studies, and one year of a foreign language. Most potential recipients will be notified by the U.S. Department of Education and will be given a website link that will help them determine whether they have completed a "qualifying rigorous secondary school program." A student’s college will then be notified and will verify eligibility. Students who are not notified by the Department of Education and think they may be eligible, should contact the Financial Aid Office to determine eligibility. Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 Tuition, Fees, and Financial Aid 19 National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (SMART) Grants The U.S. Department of Education has created a new grant program for third-and fourth-year students who are majoring in math, engineering, or science. An eligible student may receive a national SMART grant of up to $4,000 for each of the third and fourth academic years of study. To be eligible for each academic year, a student must: 1. be a U.S. citizen; 2. be a Federal Pell Grant recipient; 3. be enrolled full-time in a degree program; 4. be enrolled in a four-year degree-granting institution; 5. major in physical, life, or computer science, engineering, mathematics, technology, or a critical foreign language (defined as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew and Semetic, and Russian); and 6. have at least a cumulative 3.0 Grade Point Average on a 4.0 scale in the coursework required for the student’s major. Under the SMART Program, CUNY will identify Pell-eligible Federal student aid recipients who are majoring in physical, life, or computer science, engineering, mathematics, technology, or a critical foreign language. A Student's college will be able to provide information on which of its academic programs are designated by the Department of Education as eligible for SMART grants. For the National SMART program, the amount of the grant, in combination with the Federal Pell Grant, other resources, and estimated financial assistance, may not exceed the student's financial need (cost of attendance, minus EFC, equals financial need). A student may not receive more than one SMART Grant award in each academic year for which the student is eligible. All annual award amounts for an academic year may be reduced if sufficient funds are not available for all eligible students nationally in an award year. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) Grants are available to first-degree undergraduate students with exceptional need, enrolled for courses totaling at least 6 credits/equated credits per term. Application is made by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or via the Internet at www.fafsa.ed.gov. For more information, visit www.lehman.edu/financialaid. Federal Direct Student Loan To be eligible for a Federal Direct Student Loan, a student must be: 1. a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen; 2. enrolled or admitted as a matriculated student; and 3. determined to be eligible for the loan after completion of the FAFSA, which results in the calculation of the "Expected Family Contribution." Students must also be registered for at least 6 credits/equated credits per semester. Freshmen may borrow up to $2,625 per academic year; sophomores, up to $3,500 per academic year; juniors and seniors, up to $5,500 per academic year.

Scholarships and Awards Lehman College supports academic excellence with a growing network of scholarship programs and paid research positions for outstanding students. Inquiries about scholarships are welcomed in the Office of Scholarships, Shuster Hall, Room 205. New Students An Academic Achievement Scholarship Program is available for freshmen who are applying to Lehman College. Scholarships from $1,000 to a maximum of $4,000 per year are available to new students entering in the Fall semester. All freshmen who are admitted to Lehman are considered for Academic Achievement Awards. No separate application to the Scholarship Program is necessary for freshmen to be considered for the Award. The selection process is competitive, and awards are made on the basis of an outstanding academic record. Freshman students are evaluated on the strength of their high school record and their score on the SATs. The award is renewable for up to four years of full-time undergraduate study. With Lehman's full-time annual tuition of $4,000 a year, this scholarship, in combination with the New York City Merit Scholarship Award, the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), and the Federal Pell Grant, should provide many students with the opportunity to complete their bachelor's degrees virtually free of charge and permit family education funds to be reserved for graduate and professional studies. Potential recipients must file a City University Freshman Application and list Lehman as a college choice. The filing deadline for Fall semester consideration is in mid-March. Only those students who have been admitted to Lehman are considered for these awards. Enrolled Students As students progress in their studies at Lehman, they may apply to the following programs based on their academic achievement in college: Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC): The National Institutes of Health have awarded the College funds to provide a limited number of scholarships for students interested in pursuing the Ph.D. in the general area of biomedical research. This scholarship program is for students in their junior and senior Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 years of study at the College. Students selected for this program work closely with faculty members on designated research projects and receive funds to travel to the national Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students, where they will present the results of their research projects. The current stipend is $10,956 per year plus tuition. Interested students should make application for this scholarship program during their sophomore year. Applications are available in the Office of the Dean of Natural and Social Sciences, Shuster Hall, Room 302. Departmental Awards: offered for excellence in specific academic subjects and varying in amount and criteria for selection. Tuition and Fees Tuition and fees are subject to change by action of the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York. Please consult the Bursar's Office, the Director of Admissions, or the Vice President of Student Affairs for a current schedule. Board of Trustees of the City University of New York Guidelines All fees and tuition charges listed in this Bulletin and in any registration material issued by the College are subject to change by action of the Trustees of the City University of New York without prior notice. In the event of any increase in the fees or tuition charges, payments already made to the College will be treated as a partial payment, and notification will be given of the additional amount due and the time and method of payment. The undergraduate Student Activity Fee or any part thereof is not refundable at any time, except when the student's registration is cancelled because of a withdrawal of a course or courses by the College. A resident student is a U.S citizen who has had his or her principal place of abode in the State of New York for a period of at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes for the semester for which the residency determination is made and who states his or her intention permanently to live and maintain his or her principal place of abode in New York State. A full-time undergraduate student is one who is enrolled for at least 12 credits or equivalent. (See below, under "Full-Time Status," for important exceptions.) A part-time student is one who is enrolled for fewer than 12 credits or equivalent. For each student, the tuition and fees due depend on whether he/she will attend full-or part-time, whether or not he/she resides in New York State, and whether he/she is or is not matriculated. All fees, tuition charges, credits, and course hours listed are subject to correction in the event of error. All fees, calculations, and repeat billings are subject to correction in the event of error. Students will be obligated to pay the correct amount. The schedule of tuition fees applies to all scheduled semesters, regardless of duration, subject to such special tuition fee rates as may be established by the Board of Trustees of the City University of New York. The same policy applies to summer session, except Tuition, Fees, and Financial Aid 21 that there is no maximum tuition. Summer session students must pay for all credits or credit equivalents taken. A child of a member of the permanent staff of the City University of New York, or a child of a deceased or retired member of such staff who had served for more than five years on an annual salary, or a child of an employee of the City of New York or of a City agency who is required to live outside the State of New York in the performance of his or her official duties shall be charged resident rates. The resident rate shall be applicable to a student of another college or university, that grants, in exchange, resident rates to a student of a college within the City University of New York. Evidence of satisfactory educational qualifications must be presented, and the approval of the president of such college within the City University is required. All recipients of financial aid should be aware that this aid is based on the personal and financial information that the student provides to Lehman College. In the event that a student is determined not to be eligible, in whole or in part, for any expected financial aid for which he or she has applied, he or she will be held fully responsible for payment of any monies that are due the College for registration. If students withdraw, either officially (by filling out a withdrawal form in the Registrar's Office) or unofficially (by no longer attending classes) from any course or courses for which they have registered and a reduction in aid occurs, the student will be held personally responsible for payment of any monies due to the College.

This applies to all students except first-time freshmen. New freshmen must be enrolled for at least 3 credits exclusive of credit equivalent hours. • Full-time status for Pell Grants is defined as 12 credits or Pell credit equivalents (see "Courses with Credit Equivalent Hours" in this section of the Bulletin). • Students receiving veterans' benefits must have 12 credits to be considered full-time. Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 22 Tuition, Fees, and Financial Aid • Students registering for student teaching courses are considered by the College to be full-time students irrespective of the actual number of credits they attempt. All students who attend full-time, as defined above, pay tuition at the full-time rate. Payment Procedures Students may pay their tuition and fees with the following options: cash, money order, credit card (Visa and MasterCard only), bank check, traveler's check, or personal check (students paying by check should make the check payable to Lehman College). Payment can be made by mail, in person, drop box (do not deposit cash), fax, or submitted via the Web (using eSIMS). The College will not accept second-party checks. The College will not accept a personal check from any student who has previously tendered a check that was returned by his/her bank. If a student has an outstanding financial obligation that may be owed to Lehman College or any of its affiliated corporations, Lehman College officers or their designees are authorized to act as the student's agent to endorse and negotiate any checks that he/she may be entitled to receive from any source of financial aid: Federal, State, City, public or private, College or other, to the extent that such authorization shall be used to fulfill this obligation. This authorization is effective as long as there is an outstanding balance owed for any semester. Students who do not make full payment on their tuition and fees and other College bills, and whose accounts are sent to a collection agency, will be responsible for all collection costs, including agency fees, attorney fees, and court costs, in addition to whatever amounts the student owes the College. In addition, non-payment or a default judgment against the account may be reported to a credit bureau and reflected in the student’s credit report. Financial aid: Matriculated students who are recipients of financial aid must present proof of their awards at the time of registration. They will be required to pay any difference if the financial aid does not fully cover the amount due. All recipients of financial aid should be aware that if they fall below full-time enrollment because of withdrawal or cancellation of a course or courses, they may no longer be entitled to their financial aid. Students who use TAP, Pell Grant funds, or any other financial aid toward meeting their financial obligation should consult with the Financial Aid Office about any impact on their current semester entitlement and future semester awards. Students who are not eligible for financial aid must pay tuition and fees in full on the day of registration. Employer Voucher Students who anticipate using an employer voucher for payment of their registration should verify with the Bursar's Office the acceptability of the voucher prior to registration. Vouchers must provide for immediate payment when billed and cannot be dependent on grades received for the term in question. Refunds Refunds of Fees The Student Activity Fee, Consolidated Fee, and Technology Fee, or any part thereof, is not refundable at any time except when the student's registration is canceled because of withdrawal of a course or courses by the College or the student totally withdraws prior to the start of classes and is granted a 100 percent refund of tuition. No portion of any special fee, parking fee, and any fine or penalty fee is refundable. Refunds of Tuition Withdrawal and refund requests should be made in the Office of the Registrar (Shuster Hall, Room 114). The date on which this form is completed and filed, not the student's LAST day in class, is the official date of withdrawal that serves as the basis for computing a refund. Non-attendance in classes does not waive the tuition liability a student incurs at registration. Any student who is unable to file for withdrawal from a course in person may do so by mail. The official date of withdrawal will be the date the letter is postmarked. The interval between a properly executed application for a refund and receipt of a refund check is usually five weeks. Students dropping courses will be refunded according to the dates within this schedule. Students may receive a 100% of tuition refund for voluntarily withdrawing from a class up to, and not including, the first day of classes. The first day of classes is not the first day of THE STUDENT'S class but, rather, the College's opening day of classes for the semester or session. As a result of the Higher Education Reauthorization Act, students who are recipients of Federal financial aid are subject to one of the following Federal Refund Policies (subject to change): Title IV Refunds Federal Title IV Funds Information: Prorata Refund (subject to change): Effective Fall 2000, CUNY is following the new Federal regulations on the return of Title IV funds. Federal Prorata refunds will no longer be applicable for first-time and continuing students. The College will calculate how much Title IV aid has been earned by the student based on the period of attendance. The unearned portion of the Title IV funds must be returned to the Department of Education by the College and the student. All other students are subject to the following tuition refund schedule approved by the Board of Trustees: Withdrawal (Fall/Spring) Refund Summer Before the first day of classes 100% Withdrawal to register at another CUNY college 100% Through first week of classes 75% 50% Through second week of classes 50% 25% Through third week of classes 25% None After the end of the third week of classes None Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 Tuition, Fees, and Financial Aid 23 Special Provisions for Students in the Military The following policies apply to students who leave CUNY to fulfill military obligations. I) Students called up to the reserves or drafted before the end of the semester: a. Grades. In order to obtain a grade, a student must attend 13 weeks (five weeks for summer session). b. Refunds. A student called up to the reserves or drafted who does not attend for a sufficient time to qualify for a grade is entitled to a 100% refund of tuition and all other fees except application fees. II) Students who volunteer (enlist) for the military: a. Grades. Same provision as for students called up to the reserves. In order to obtain a grade, a student must attend 13 weeks (five weeks for summer session). b. Refunds. The amount of the refund depends upon whether the withdrawal is before the 5th week of classes. 1. Withdrawal before the beginning of the 5th calendar week (3rd calendar week for summer session): 100% refund of tuition and all other fees except application fees. 2. Withdrawal thereafter: 50% refund. III) Other provisions for Military Service: a. Resident Tuition Rates. These lower rates are applicable to all members of the armed services, their spouses, and their dependent children, on full-time active duty and stationed in the State of New York. b. Re-enrollment of Veterans. Veterans who are returning students are given preferred treatment in the following ways: 1. Veterans who were former students with unsatisfactory scholastic records, may be readmitted with a probationary program. 2. Veterans, upon their return, may register even after normal registration periods, without late fees. 3. Granting of college credit for military service and armed forces instructional courses. 4. Veterans returning too late to register may audit classes without charge. c. Late Admissions. Veterans with no previous college experience are permitted to file applications up to the date of registration, and are allowed to begin classes pending completion of their application and provision of supporting documents. d. Readmission Fee. Upon return from military service, a student will not be charged a Readmission Fee to register at the same college. e. Veterans Tuition Deferrals. Veterans are entitled to defer the payment of tuition pending receipt of veterans' benefits. f. New York National Guard Tuition Waivers. Active members of the New York National Guard, who are legal residents of New York State and who do not have a baccalaureate degree, are eligible for a tuition waiver for undergraduate study. Refund of Tuition and Fees to TAP and other Financial Aid Recipients Students who withdraw during the refund period and have been awarded a full New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) entitlement may elect to use their entitlement as credit toward their current financial liability and, consequently, will forfeit one semester of TAP eligibility; or they may elect to return their TAP award to the Corporation (advantageous only if a small liability is incurred), retain the semester's TAP eligibility, and reimburse the College for any money due. • Students who withdraw during the refund period with partial TAP entitlements that are not large enough to cover their tuition liability will be required to pay the difference. • Students awarded financial aid who change their status from full-time to part-time and vice versa must visit the Financial Aid Office, which will adjust their award. • Students who withdraw after the refund period may relinquish their TAP entitlement and remaining financial aid award for the withdrawn semester. Courses with Credit Equivalent Hours Lehman College courses generally carry a credit value equal to the number of weekly contact hours. In certain courses—generally developmental or compensatory in nature—the number of weekly contact hours may exceed the credit value. These additional contact hours are designated "credit equivalents" or "equated credits." For courses with credit equivalents, tuition is charged on the basis of contact hours and not of credits. Even if a course offers no credit, it is nevertheless billed according to contact hours. The maximum semester rate applies to these courses alone or in combination with credit-bearing courses. Estimated Other Expenses Lehman College estimates that apart from tuition, fees, and room and board, students should budget for an additional $4,328 per year, allocated as follows: books and supplies, $832; personal and incidental items, $1,660; transportation, $816; lunches, $1,020. International matriculated students who are attending Lehman on a student visa must pay for private medical insurance. Nursing students registering in clinical courses will have the additional expenses of a uniform, health insurance (unless they are covered by their parents' policies), and malpractice liability insurance. Prior to registration in clinical courses, nursing students also are required to undergo a number of medical tests at their own expense. (For further information, consult the Department of Nursing.) Bursar's Receipt Bursar Validation is required to complete term registration. All students must submit a signed Bill or Payment Form (zero balance included) to the Bursar's Office by the due date. The Bill or Payment Form can be mailed, faxed, submitted via the Web (using eSIMS), or delivered to the Bursar's Office or drop box.

Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 36 2013 CUNY General Education Program (Pathways): Required Courses 2013 CUNY General Education Program (Pathways): Required Courses Lehman College provides undergraduates with not only a major specialization but also training in a range of basic skills and general subjects on beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. In this way, a bachelor's degree represents both training in a special field and the skills and knowledge to meet life's varied challenges responsibly, intelligently, and creatively. Beginning in fall 2013, CUNY instituted a common General Education structure (called "Pathways") whose purpose is to improve the ability of students to transfer within the university. Lehman’s 2013 CUNY General Education Program (Pathways) conforms to the new CUNY structure. The college’s General Education categories remain the same, but the individual course requirements in some cases have changed. Lehman’s categories represent the following parts of the CUNY Pathways structure: • Foundation = CUNY Required Core (plus the College Option in Foreign Language) • Distribution = CUNY Flexible Core • Integration = CUNY College Option Lehman’s courses in the 2013 CUNY General Education Curriculum include subjects comprising the shared intellectual heritage of our diverse culture. They teach critical thinking and encourage accurate and effective communication. General Education supports the integration, synthesis, and application of knowledge, and includes proficiency in information literacy. Undergraduate education offers not only specialized knowledge and professional skills but also the multiple views and general intellectual abilities developed by the study of liberal arts and sciences that provide a foundation for independent, responsible living. Students who enter Lehman College in the fall 2013 semester or later must meet the 2013 CUNY General Education Requirements. There are four categories of required courses: Foundation ("Required Core" plus "College Option,") Distribution ("Flexible Core"), Integration ("College Option"), and Writing Intensive. For a list of the 2013 CUNY General Education courses in each category, select the links in the navigation side panel. (NOTE: The Foreign Language and Integration Requirements are waived for students in the Lehman Scholars Program and the Macaulay Honors College, which have their own requirements in these areas.) Foundation Courses (6 Courses, 18-21 Credits) Foundation courses include CUNY’s Required Common Core plus Foreign Language in CUNY’s College Option. The Foundation Courses comprise requirements in English Composition (6 credits), Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning (3-4 credits), a Lab Science: Life and Physical Science (3 credits), and Foreign Language (6 credits). Students may substitute STEM variants for the mathematics and science courses. English Composition Requirement (6 Credits) All students must successfully complete a six-credit sequence in English composition (-121). Every student should enroll in an English composition course each semester until ENG 121 is passed. Students who are placed in English as a Second Language courses must complete these courses before taking English Composition. Entering students who have completed equivalent English composition coursework will be placed in the appropriate course by the English Department. Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning Requirement (3-4 Credits) All students are required to successfully complete the following course MAT 126: Quantitative Reasoning. Students may substitute for this course one of the mathematics courses in the list of STEM Variants (see the left navigation panel access this list). Life and Physical Science Requirement (3-5 Credits) All students are required to successfully complete one course in a laboratory science from the following list of courses (CHE 137** has a Corequisite in Distribution Courses: Scientific World CHE 138**): • BIO 173 Human Biology • CHE 137** Elements of Chemistry I • PHY 131 Conceptual Physics • PHY 141 Sound, Speech and Music • PHY 151 Energy and the Environment Students may substitute for any of these courses one of the science courses in the list of STEM Variants (see the left navigation panel access this list). Foreign Language Requirement (6 Credits) This is part of the CUNY College Option. Students are required to take two foreign language courses in the same language. Students who continue in a foreign language previously studied in high school or college must be placed in the proper sequential course by the Languages and Literatures Department. If a student completes one semester of a foreign language at the intermediate level or above (numbered 201 or higher), one Foreign Language Option course may be substituted for the second required language course with the permission of the Languages and Literatures Department. The following courses comprise the Foreign Language Option: ENG 223: English Literature, ENG 226: Shakespeare, ENG 227: American Literature, HIS 240: East Asian Civilization, HIS 246: Civilizations of the Ancient World, HIS 249: Islamic Civilization, PHI 169: Critical Reasoning, PHI 170: Introduction to Logic, PHI 171: Problems of Philosophy, POL 229: Classical Political Economy. (These courses cannot also serve to meet Distribution requirements.) Distribution Courses (6 Courses, 18-20 Credits) Distribution courses are the Flexible Common Core in CUNY General Education. Every student must choose and successfully complete one course from these Distribution courses in each of the five areas listed below, and a sixth course from any of the areas. No more than two Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 2013 CUNY General Education Program (Pathways): Required Courses 37 courses from the same discipline may be used to satisfy the Distribution Requirement.

Macaulay Honors College at Lehman The Macaulay Honors College at Lehman College admitted its first class in September 2002. Member of the Honors College are designated "University Scholars." They receive full tuition, stipends, laptop computers, and an opportunities fund for academic enrichment experiences, such as study abroad. A "Cultural Passport" provides entrée to concerts, the theater, museums, and other cultural institutions in New York City. Passport activities will also put students in contact with people active in many facets of city life, the arts, government, business, and science. Criteria for selection include the student's high school academic record, SAT/ACT scores, an essay, two letters of recommendation, and an interview. Students intending to apply for Macaulay must apply directly from high school; Macaulay does not accept transfers from any institution. Students wishing to apply should consult the Macaulay homepage through the CUNY Portal at www.cuny.edu and select "Apply Online." The curriculum of the Honors College is seminar based, and the program offers rich opportunities for academic enhancement and intellectual growth, supplemented by study abroad, internships, preparation for graduate school, and global engagement. The Lehman Scholars Program The Lehman Scholars Program, established in 1980, offers capable and highly motivated students the atmosphere of a small, intimate college. The program features small seminars, mentors, and an extra-credit option. It provides an introduction to the liberal arts in the areas of English, foreign languages, natural science, social science, humanities, and the fine and performing arts. Students with a minimum GPA of 3.5 are eligible to apply to the program at any point prior to the completion of sixty-four credits. For further information, see the information contained in the chapter on "Academic Departments and Programs" of this Bulletin. Teacher Academy Students in this CUNY program are committed to teaching math or science in New York City's public schools and pursue a rigorous academic program with early participation in the schools. They receive four years of free tuition as well as paid internships and may qualify for an additional Lehman College Foundation scholarship. As Teacher Academy students at Lehman College, they major in mathematics or science, with a minor in middle and high school education, and learn in a "college within a college" environment. They receive special advisement, are placed in small classes, and become part of a supportive community of fellow students and faculty. Students also take part in fieldwork in a local school setting, beginning during the freshman year with observations and culminating with student teaching during the senior year. All fieldwork is linked to courses, providing a bridge between theory and practice. Teacher Academy students also have opportunities to work with nationally and internationally recognized faculty and to pursue undergraduate research with the guidance of faculty mentors. Currently, admission for a new class Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 40 2013 CUNY General Education Program (Pathways): Required Courses of the Teacher Academy students has been temporarily suspended. Adult Degree Program The Adult Degree Program offers incoming students twenty-five years of age or older a flexible curriculum under close faculty supervision. Students may earn up to thirty credits through internship, research, and tutorials. Up to fifteen of these credits may be awarded for life experience. For further information on this program, see the information on "Individualized Study Programs" contained later in this Bulletin. Individualized Bachelor of Arts Program The Individualized Bachelor of Arts Program offers students who have more than thirty but fewer than ninety credits an opportunity to establish, with the assistance and approval of a faculty committee, their own individualized major. For further information on this program, see the information on "Individualized Study Programs" contained later in this Bulletin. Bachelor of Arts-Master of Arts (B.A.-M.A.) Program The Bachelor of Arts-Master of Arts (B.A.-M.A.) Program is an option for entering freshmen with superior academic backgrounds. Students may arrange with departments offering both the B.A. and M.A. a suitable course of study that, at the end of four years, will lead to simultaneous awarding of the degrees. To be eligible, entering freshmen must have high school averages of better than 90 and scores of at least 600 in the verbal and mathematics sections, respectively, of the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Matriculated students who wish to be considered must have achieved a cumulative index of at least 3.4 in no more than fifty- four earned credits. The B.A.-M.A. Program requires attendance in at least one Lehman College summer session, preferably between the junior and senior years or after completion of ninety credits. Second Undergraduate Degree Program Lehman College accepts candidates for a second undergraduate degree when specific professional purposes dictate the need and when the second degree represents preparation discrete from the preparation identified by the first bachelor's degree. Candidates must complete a minimum of thirty credits in residence (see the definition of residence credits under the heading of "Credit Requirements" later in this chapter) and must fulfill all the requirements for the new major and/or interdisciplinary program. Students must take the English Transfer Placement Exam and complete the College writing requirement as determined by that examination. The liberal arts requirements from the first degree may satisfy the requirements for the second degree. In general, candidates will have fulfilled the College requirements with the first degree, but specific requirements may be recommended. Candidates for a second bachelor's degree must have their curricula approved by the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation (Shuster Hall, Room 280). CUNY Baccalaureate Program Lehman participates in the CUNY Baccalaureate Program, which allows students the opportunity to earn up to thirty credits through internship, research, or work experience (fifteen of which may be earned for prior work experience) and to take courses at other senior colleges within CUNY. For further information, consult the Academic Information and Advisement Center (Shuster Hall, Room 280). Interdisciplinary and Interdepartmental Programs Lehman offers students the opportunity to earn a bachelor's degree in one of these interdisciplinary or interdepartmental programs: American Studies; Anthropology (Physical), Biology, and Chemistry; Comparative Literature; Computer Information Systems; Computer Graphics & Imaging; Dance Theatre; Italian- American Studies; Latin American & Caribbean Studies; and Linguistics.

Preprofessional students preparing for careers in the health professions should at the time of their first registration consult advisers concerning the choice of science courses for the first semester. Since the requirements of medical schools may vary, students intending to pursue an M.D. degree should consult the bulletins of the medical schools to which they are planning to apply. In general, medical schools require two years of college chemistry (including organic chemistry) and one year each of college physics, biology, and mathematics. Because some medical schools require more than the minimum, it is important that interested students include first-year biology and chemistry in the first sixty credits earned at Lehman. As much science as possible should be completed by the time ninety credits have been earned (end of junior year) because this is the time when the Medical College Aptitude Tests are taken. After admission to Lehman College, the student preparing for a career in dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, or veterinary medicine should register with the premedical adviser (Davis Hall, Room 113). Prepharmacy Lehman College offers students a pre-pharmacy program that articulates with the pharmacy programs at the Arnold and Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences of Long Island University and the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions at St. John's University. Students who complete the prescribed prepharmacy curriculum with a cumulative index of at least 3.0 may be eligible to transfer to the first professional year of the pharmacy program at either of these colleges. Interested students should consult with the College's prepharmacy adviser (Davis Hall, Room 113). Prelaw Students considering careers in the law have many opportunities at Lehman College. Legal educators recommend that students preparing for law school follow a course of study that develops a critical understanding of the institutions and values with which the law deals, the ability to think analytically, to conduct independent research, and to write and speak effectively. A comprehensive liberal arts education—including a major stressing these essential skills, courses in philosophy, such as critical thinking and the philosophy of law, and courses in English such as advanced expository writing—offers the best foundation for law school. A minor in political science is helpful. Students interested in law school should meet with the College's prelaw adviser for information and counseling. For referral to the prelaw adviser, see the Academic Information and Advisement Center (Shuster Hall, Room 280). Professional Option Lehman College offers a professional option that allows students to complete the undergraduate degree at an accredited professional school in their senior year. To apply for this option, students must have fulfilled all general education requirements for the degree, at least half of the major and minor, and ninety or more credits, with at least thirty earned at Lehman. With departmental approval, the major and the minor may be completed at the professional school. This option is open to students in predental, premedical, preveterinary, and prelaw. Information and applications are available in the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation (Shuster Hall, Room 280). Pre-Engineering Transfer Program Lehman College offers a Pre-engineering Transfer Program, administered by the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Students study at Lehman for two years before transferring to the School of Engineering at City College. (For more information, consult the pre-engineering adviser in Gillet Hall, Room 131.) The only complete engineering program in CUNY is at City College. Students at Lehman College can transfer to the School of Engineering at City College after completing twenty-four credits, including two semesters of calculus and one semester of either physics or chemistry. Although a well-prepared student can complete these requirements in two semesters, it is strongly recommended that a student entering this program should plan to spend three semesters at Lehman College, taking the following courses: • English. Courses required to meet the degree requirements in English composition, as explained under "Degree Requirements" later on in this chapter of the Bulletin. • Speech. COM 100 (Fundamentals of Oral Communication). • Mathematics. MAT 175-176 (Calculus I and II) and MAT 226 (Intermediate Calculus I). • Physics. PHY 168-169 (Introductory Physics I and II). • Chemistry. CHE 166-167 and 168-169 (General Chemistry— Lectures and Labs—I and II). Teacher Education Programs Teacher preparation at Lehman is based on a firm foundation in the liberal arts and sciences. Students who plan to teach at the early childhood, childhood, or middle and secondary levels must major in one of the liberal arts, physical or social sciences, or mathematics. Prospective teachers also enroll in an appropriate education sequence in one of the following two departments: The Department of Early Childhood and Childhood Education prepares candidates for initial New York State certification to teach children at the early childhood (Birth-Grade 2) and childhood (Grades 1-6) levels, including children whose primary languages and cultures are not English. Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 2013 CUNY General Education Program (Pathways): Required Courses 43 The Department of Middle and High School Education prepares candidates for initial New York State certification to teach academic and special subjects (English, science, mathematics, social studies, and foreign languages) in secondary schools, grades 7-12. Lehman College's educator preparation programs have been accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The Counselor Education program has been accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP). NCATE and CACREP accredit only teacher and counselor education programs of the highest quality. Undergraduate Teacher Certifications Early Childhood (Birth-Grade 2), with or without Bilingual Extension Childhood (Grades 1-6), with or without Bilingual Extension Students seeking the initial certificate as either an early childhood or childhood education teacher, in addition to completing the sequence of professional courses, are required to complete a major in one of the liberal arts, physical or social sciences, or mathematics. Thus, the major area of concentration is a requirement both for the college degree and for the teaching certificate. For the purposes of early childhood (Birth-Grade 2) and childhood (Grades 1-6) teacher certification, however, major areas of concentration are restricted to those approved for early childhood and childhood education. The recommended majors for initial certification in early childhood and childhood education are as follows: Recommended Majors: African and African American Studies Art History Comparative Literature English Geography History Italian American Studies Latin American Studies Puerto Rican Studies Sociology Additional recommended majors may be added after the printing of this Bulletin; students need to see an adviser in the Department of Early Childhood and Childhood Education (Carman Hall, Room B-32) to find out which additional recommended majors are available. Middle and High School Students seeking the initial certificate as a middle and high school teacher of academic or special subjects will complete the major area of concentration appropriate for the particular certificate, as well as the sequence of professional courses leading to the certificate. Approved areas of concentration are as follows: Adolescence EDUC-English Education (English 7-12) Adolescence EDUC-Language Other Than English (Spanish 7-12) Adolescence EDUC-Mathematics 5-9 or 7-12 Adolescence EDUC-Biology 7-12 Adolescence EDUC-Chemistry 7-12 Adolescence EDUC-Physics 7-12 Adolescence EDUC-Social Studies 7-12 SPECIAL SUBJECTS: Art N-12 Health Education N-12 Music Teacher N-12 Additional recommended concentrations may be added after the printing of this Bulletin; students need to see an adviser in the Department of Middle and High School Education (Carman Hall, Room 29-A) to find out which additional recommended majors are available. Special Studies Lehman College is aware of the student's need for educational and individual experience. Although Lehman offers all students the education that occurs in the classroom, lecture hall, and laboratory, the College's faculty is also committed to guiding independent study by students capable of individually defining and exploring problems. Such students are given the opportunity to participate in departmental honors programs; a wide range of independent study courses, including tutorials, research, and special projects offered by each department and the interdisciplinary programs; and independent extradisciplinary studies. Internship and Field Experience Opportunities Lehman College recognizes the importance of work experience as a significant element of a liberal arts education. Many departments and programs in the College offer such learning experiences, usually off campus. Internships are generally carried out in conjunction with classroom learning, often involving a seminar about the fieldwork. These internships may earn college credit and provide the student with "hands-on" experience, frequently the first step toward successful entry into a career. For specific information on areas of interest, students should apply to individual departments. For general information and a list of all Lehman internships, consult the Office of Career Services, 718960- 8366 (Shuster Hall, Room 254). For general information regarding internships, student teaching, and field experience requirements in teacher education, contact the Professional Development Network Coordinator, 718-960-8004 (Carman Hall, B-33). Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 44 2013 CUNY General Education Program (Pathways): Required Courses Programs of Study Abroad Lehman students need not be language majors or minors to study abroad, and students from all disciplines are also encouraged to participate. Through a short-term program, students may earn up to 3-8 credits toward their degrees. Short-term programs may be open to students without foreign language training. Year-long programs in countries where instruction is not in English may require some background in the relevant language. Students must visit the Study Abroad Office to begin the online permit process. Lehman students can finance their study-abroad session in several ways, which may include financial aid, loans, scholarships, and fellowships. Students may be eligible to use TAP, PELL, and Loan awards to help finance their session abroad. In addition to financial aid awards, students interested in a short-term session can apply for the Study/Travel Opportunities for CUNY student scholarships (STOCS) to help defray expenses. In recent years, a growing number of Lehman students have received Fulbright, Benjamin Gilman, and STOCS scholarships for their studies abroad. Lehman students have earned credit for study in places all over the world, including Argentina, Austria, Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, England, France, Germany, Ghana, Guyana, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Trinidad, and Venezuela. Additional programs are being developed to offer a wider geographical and content choice. Lehman College encourages all students to participate in study- abroad opportunities. Students may choose to study abroad for a year or a semester. For students who prefer short-term study programs, there are numerous opportunities to study abroad during the summer or winter intersessions. For further information, consult Assistant Dean Lynne Van Voorhis or the Study Abroad Coordinator in the Office of Undergraduate Studies and Study Abroad, Carman Hall, Room 337; 718-960-8345; fax 718-960-7734. Lehman Exchange Programs Students participating in Lehman Exchange Programs must register at the College for a minimum of twelve study-abroad credits STABD). Credits earned abroad will be applied toward students' degrees after evaluation by the appropriate department at Lehman. Students of all departments are invited to apply. To begin the online permit process, students must visit the Study Abroad Office. The Lehman/Korean Exchange Program is open to all CUNY students. Participants may elect to spend either one semester or one year studying at Sungshin Women's University, a prestigious university in Seoul, South Korea. The University offers international students courses in Korean language and culture, and also teaches more than fifty courses across many disciplines in English. Lehman students may also be able to earn dual degrees from both Sungshin and Lehman. To qualify for this option, students must complete thirty credits at Sungshin, e.g., completing the four-semester Korean Language Program, and then return to Lehman to complete the Lehman degree requirements. A minimum 3.0 GPA is required. The Paris/CUNY Exchange Program offers Lehman students (undergraduate and graduate) the opportunity to study at the University of Paris for either one or two semesters. A minimum proficiency in French (equivalent to three semesters) and a B average in the major are required. For further information, consult Assistant Dean Lynne VanVoorhis or the Study Abroad Coordinator in the Office of Undergraduate Studies and Study Abroad, Carman Hall, Room 337; 718-960-8345; fax 718-960-7734. Independent Extradisciplinary Studies Independent Extradisciplinary Studies permit students to participate in reading tutorials, fieldwork (including work experience), research projects, or special projects in an area for which there is not a course in a department or interdisciplinary program. The topic for any of these should be submitted to a faculty member likely to share an interest in it. If the faculty member accepts the topic and is convinced of the applicant's ability to pursue the proposal, the faculty member refers the student to the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation for application. Students must secure final approval of the proposal from the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation prior to registration for any semester. Students who are approved for Independent Extradisciplinary Studies must register for the study on a pass/fail basis. Credits earned may not exceed fifteen per semester nor total more than thirty. Experimental Course or Program A Department may offer as an experiment one or more courses or a program of study that falls outside the bounds of existing courses or programs of study with the approval of the Departmental Curriculum Committee, the College's Curriculum Committee, and the College's Committee on Academic Standards and Evaluation. Degree Requirements The requirements for an undergraduate degree at Lehman College are those in effect during the student's first semester of matriculation, with the exception that, as of the 1996 fall semester, the number of credits required to earn a degree is 120 for all students, provided all other requirements have been satisfied. College Preparatory Initiative The Board of Trustees in Fall 1993 promulgated new course requirements that students must complete in high school. Requirements apply to all students who graduated from high school in Spring 1993 and thereafter and to all students completing a GED diploma in September 1993 and thereafter. As of Fall 1999, students entering a senior college are expected to have sixteen academic units: four units in English, three units in mathematics, two units in laboratory sciences, four units in social Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 2013 CUNY General Education Program (Pathways): Required Courses 45 sciences, two units in languages other than English, and one unit in fine arts. All transfer students who graduated from high school in Spring 1993 and thereafter, or received GED diplomas in September 1993 and after, will need to document completion of the CPI (College Preparatory Initiative) academic requirements by submitting an official copy of the high school transcript and/or GED scores. All students who have not satisfied these requirements prior to admission will be required to complete them before their graduation from Lehman College. Students should consult with an adviser in the Academic Information and Advisement Center (Shuster Hall, Room 280) for information regarding courses approved for fulfilling CPI deficiencies. Basic Skills Proficiency The Board of Trustees of The City University of New York has mandated that every student meet a minimum University-wide level of proficiency in reading, writing, and mathematics before entering the senior college. Lehman College administers the CUNY/ACT Reading and Writing Assessment Tests and the CUNY Mathematics Assessment Test (MAT) to all students after admission to the College, but prior to beginning classes, to determine whether the students meet minimum University and College standards. Students who fail either the CUNY/ACT Reading and/or Writing Assessment Tests or the CUNY Mathematics Assessment Test may be invited to enter a "Prelude to Success" program offered at Bronx Community College. CUNY Proficiency Exam All students are required to pass the CUNY Proficiency Exam in order to graduate. Transfer students with 45 or more credits will be asked to take the test in their first semester. Students are expected to pass the test by the 60th credit. Program in English as a Second Language Students whose native language is not English and who have failed the CUNY Reading and/or Writing Assessment Test are administered an ESL Placement Test and placed in the ESL sequence. (For a detailed description of ESL courses, see the information contained under "Academic Departments and Programs" later on in this Bulletin.) Students in the ESL program will be expected to pass one level of the program for each semester of attendance at the College. Students who receive the grade of NC* in an ESL course the first time will be placed on skills probation. Students who receive a second grade of NC* in the same level will be dropped from the College. Any student who is dropped will be given the opportunity to appeal. NOTE: City University policy requires that ESL students at the senior colleges pass CUNY/ACT reading and writing assessment tests prior to entering the freshman composition sequence. *See "Grading Systems." Grades of WU in ESL courses will be handled in the same manner as grades of NC. Credit Requirements To earn a bachelor's degree at Lehman College, students must earn a minimum of 120 credits. All students must complete at least thirty credits in residence at Lehman, including at least half of the credits of their chosen major and minor (if required). Credits in residence are defined as credits earned in Lehman College course work. NOTE: Transfer students should have their transcripts evaluated as soon as possible. First, the Office of Admissions (Shuster Hall, Room 152) will evaluate transfer credits to determine their Lehman equivalents. Second, the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation (Shuster Hall, Room 280) will determine which Lehman degree requirements have been met. Third, the academic department that houses the student's major (and minor, if needed) will determine which of these requirements have been met. Students who transfer directly from a CUNY or SUNY community college on completion of an A.A., A.S., or an A.A.S. degree will have satisfied the lower-division General Education Requirements of Lehman College. Such students must still satisfy the upper-division General Education Requirements and meet the New York State minimum liberal arts credit requirement as determined by the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation. Lower Division General Education Requirements (38-50 Credits) General Education Courses Coordinator of General Education, Robert Whittaker (Carman Hall, Room 337) Lehman College provides undergraduates with not only a major specialization but also training in a range of basic skills and general subjects on beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. In this way, a bachelor's degree represents both training in a special field and the skills and knowledge to meet life's varied challenges responsibly, intelligently, and creatively. General Education includes subjects comprising the shared intellectual heritage of our diverse culture. It teaches critical thinking and encourages accurate and effective communication. General Education supports the integration, synthesis, and application of knowledge, and includes proficiency in information literacy. Undergraduate education offers not only specialized knowledge and professional skills but also the multiple views and general intellectual abilities developed by the study of liberal arts and sciences that provide a foundation for independent, responsible living. For a list of the General Education courses in individual disciplines and departments, see "Distribution Requirement." College Writing Requirement (3-6 Credits) Unless exempted, all students must successfully complete a six- credit sequence in English composition (ENG 110-120). Every student should enroll in the appropriate English composition course each semester until ENG 120 is passed. All entering freshmen and all transfer students who have not already done so must take the CUNY/A.C.T. Writing and Reading Assessment Tests prior to registering for their first semester at the Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 46 2013 CUNY General Education Program (Pathways): Required Courses College. Students will be placed in the appropriate composition course or English as a Second Language course. A student may be exempted from ENG 110 on the basis of an evaluation made by the English Department. Students who enter Lehman College with transfer credit in English composition must consult the Department of English regarding their composition requirement. Except for holders of A.A., A.S., and A.A.S. degrees from CUNY or SUNY, transfer students may be required to take a placement exam. Eligible students should take the C.P.E. at special sessions prior to, or at the time of, their first registration at the College. Composition placement or exemption will be determined following the evaluation. Foreign Language Requirement (3-9 Credits) Students with no more than one year of high school credit in a foreign language are required to take a sequence of two language courses for nine credits at the 100 level or the equivalent three- course sequence for nine credits. Students with more than one year of high school credit in a foreign language may fulfill the requirement with one of the following options: 1. According to placement by the appropriate language department, either: • successfully complete one 200-or 300-level foreign language course; • successfully complete the final course of a 100-level sequence; or • successfully complete a sequence of two courses for a total of nine credits at the 100 level in a new language, or the equivalent three-course sequence. 2. Students for whom English is a second language may fulfill the requirement by: • successfully completing two courses in ESL at the ESL 103 level or above; • after placement by the appropriate language department, successfully completing one course at the 200 or 300 level in the native language; or • successfully completing two courses for a total of 9 credits in a new language at the 100 level, or the equivalent three- course sequence. 3. Transfer students who have completed a year of foreign language study at the college level have satisfied the language requirement. Natural Science Requirement (8-10 Credits) All students are required to successfully complete two courses in laboratory science from a specified list. The list of approved courses is available from the Academic Information and Advisement Center (Shuster Hall, Room 280) and in the Schedule of Classes distributed prior to registration each semester.

Academic Policies Student Classification Group Credits Completed 8 Graduating Senior 106-120 7 Lower Senior 91-105 6 Upper Junior 76-90 5 Lower Junior 61-75 4 Upper Sophomore 46-60 3 Lower Sophomore 31-45 2 Upper Freshman 16-30 1 Lower Freshman 0-15 Credit and Course Loads In general, one credit represents 15 hours of classroom work or 30 hours of laboratory work, plus supplementary assignments, or the equivalent thereof. One credit of clinical laboratory in the Department of Nursing represents 45 clock hours of work. Unless otherwise stated, the number of credits assigned to a course is the number counted toward a Lehman College baccalaureate degree. Full-Time Matriculants Courses and credit loads for full-time matriculants are as follows: • To be a full-time student, he/she must attempt a minimum of 12 credits or credit equivalents per semester. • A student may attempt a maximum of 18 credits per semester. • A student on full-time academic probation may attempt no more than four courses per semester and no more than two courses during a summer session. Part-Time Matriculants Courses and credit loads for part-time matriculants are as follows: • In order to make progress toward the degree, a part-time matriculated student is expected to carry each semester a Academic Services and Policies 53 minimum of two courses totaling five to seven credits or one course totaling at least five (5) contact hours. • For purposes of normal academic progress and continuity, a part-time matriculated student must complete the baccalaureate degree in no more than 20 semesters of attendance (or a number of semesters prorated for students with transfer credits), exclusive of summer sessions, but inclusive of semesters spent as a non-matriculated or nondegree student. Exceptions must be approved by the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation (Shuster Hall, Room 280). • Students on part-time academic probation may take no more than two courses each semester. • Part-time matriculants, other than those on part-time probation, may carry a maximum of eleven credits. Non-Degree Students Non-degree students may take no more than the maximum credits allowed matriculated (degree) students. Summer Session In summer session, students may earn credit in proportion to the amount of credit they may earn in a regular semester. For example, in one six-week summer session, a student may carry no more than eight credits or two courses, whichever is higher. A student with a minimum cumulative index of 3.0 or a student who is graduating from the summer session may carry an additional three credits. If a student attends two summer sessions, at Lehman and/or elsewhere, and there is any overlap between the two sessions, credits representing the number of weeks of overlap must be subtracted from the total number of credits allowed. Students should consult with the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation (Shuster Hall, Room 280). Excess Credit A student with a minimum cumulative index of 3.0 who has also completed the College Writing requirement and whose previous semester grades include no INCs, Ws, WUs, Rs, or NCs, or a student who is a graduating senior, may, with the permission of the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation (Shuster Hall, Room 280), attempt up to 21 credits. Students who meet all the requirements stated above and who have successfully completed 21 credits in a prior semester may request permission in the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation to attempt up to 24 credits. A student who wishes to request permission to register for more than 24 credits must submit a written appeal to the Committee on Admission, Evaluation, and Academic Standards, detailing the reason for the request and a justification for each course planned in the schedule. This appeal should be submitted to the Committee through the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation. The Committee will determine whether the appeal should be granted or denied during the late registration and drop/add period. Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 54 Academic Services and Policies In no case may a student preregister for more than 18 credits. Students who register for more than 18 credits must pay the CUNY Accelerated Study Fee (see the chapter on "Tuition and Fees" in this Bulletin). Withdrawal from Courses Drop/Add Period. Students may adjust their programs during the Drop/Add period at the beginning of each semester, provided there is space in a newly selected course and they maintain the minimum credit load for their status. Withdrawals after Drop/Add. The grade of W, withdrawal without penalty, is awarded only when it is clear that a student has a good and sufficient reason for withdrawing from a course and is doing so at a time when he or she is doing passing work in the course. Applications for withdrawal are accepted through the tenth week of each semester. Students desiring to drop a course in their major must obtain a recommendation from the chair or the adviser of the appropriate department program. No faculty member or counselor may withdraw a student from a course. The following grades govern official and unofficial withdrawals after the Drop/Add period. The deadline dates are published each semester by the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation. Grade Official withdrawal without penalty W Never Attended, with penalty WN Unofficial withdrawal with penalty WU NOTE: Although W grades carry no index penalty, they are credits attempted for the purpose of measuring satisfactory academic progress. After the tenth week of each semester, students may appeal for withdrawals to the Committee on Admission and Standing, but only for documented reasons of serious illness or serious personal emergency. Students should submit their appeals to the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation (Shuster Hall, Room 280). Students receiving financial aid should discuss in advance with the Office of Financial Aid the consequences of withdrawing from a course. Total Withdrawals Students in good standing may apply for a total withdrawal from the College with the intention of applying for readmission at a later date. Students withdrawing from the College should first consult with the Office of the Vice President of Student Affairs. If withdrawal is indicated, the student should apply in the Office of the Registrar and return all books belonging to the Library and all other materials and property to the appropriate office. There is no category at the College entitled "leave of absence." After students have withdrawn, they may neither consider nor identify themselves as "students on leave" from the College; they may only describe themselves as "former students." Official discharge for medical reasons provides no exception to this rule. A student whose cumulative index at the time of official discharge from the College is below the minimum required for continued matriculation shall be considered dropped for poor scholarship. Lehman College Credit for Attendance at Other Institutions The following regulations apply to Lehman College matriculants who wish to attend other colleges or universities for Lehman College credit: • A student must have completed one semester of twelve credits at Lehman. To be assured full transfer credit, a student must (a) apply for an e-permit via the CUNY portal and (b) follow the procedures outlined on the permit, including obtaining departmental approval. No student will be given a permit for more than one semester of full-time study elsewhere, except in specified programs. • If a student does not obtain permission in advance, including departmental approval, transfer credit may be withheld. Grades of D earned outside the City University of New York are not transferable. • A student may not be enrolled simultaneously at Lehman College and another institution for more than the maximum number of credits under Lehman College rules. • A student who has completed half or more of the number of credits required for the Lehman College bachelor's degree may not receive credit for courses taken at a community college. • Work completed during summer sessions will not be credited beyond the established rate of work at Lehman College summer sessions. • To earn a Lehman College degree, a student must complete at least 30 credits in residence at Lehman College and at least half of the credits in the major and in the minor or in an interdisciplinary program. (See the definition of credits in residence in the section on "Degree Requirements" in this Bulletin under the heading of "Credit Requirements.") • A student is responsible for having transmitted to the College a record of all courses taken at a non-CUNY institution for Lehman credit while a matriculated student at the College. (Transcripts for CUNY permit courses will automatically be forwarded to the home college.) • With special permission, a student who has satisfied Lehman College residence requirements may attempt the final 21 credits at another accredited senior college or university, provided that all other requirements for graduation will have been satisfied. Students wishing to graduate in absentia must obtain permission from the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation (Shuster 280). Transfer Credit The following rules govern the evaluation of transfer credit: • Credit is usually granted for a course from a college or university accredited by one of the following accrediting bodies if the description of that course matches that of a similar course offered by Lehman College: Middle States Association of Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 Academic Services and Policies 55 Colleges and Schools/Commission on Higher Education; New England Association of Schools and Colleges; North Central Association of Colleges and Schools; Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges; Southern Association of Colleges and Schools/Commission on Colleges; Western Association of Schools and Colleges—Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges; and Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. • Credit for a course at a postsecondary institution not accredited by one of the above-mentioned accrediting bodies, whose description matches that of a similar course offered by Lehman College, is usually granted after a student has completed a minimum of 30 Lehman College credits with a 2.0 cumulative index. The maximum number of credits allowed from such nonaccredited institutions is 32. • Courses passed outside the City University system with a grade of D (below 70 percent) will not be credited by Lehman College. They will be included, however, in the cumulative index to determine an applicant's eligibility for admission. • In accordance with the policy of the Board of Trustees, holders of associate's degrees from the City University are granted 60 earned community college credits on transfer to a senior college, provided that they have not earned senior college credits prior to attending the community college. • Holders of A.A., A.S., and A.A.S. degrees earned outside the City University may be granted up to 60 earned community college credits upon transfer, provided that they have not earned senior college credits prior to attending the community college. A.A.S. degree students' eligibility for admission is based on the index in liberal arts courses. • All community college transfer students who transfer without the associate's degree may be granted up to 60 earned community college credits upon transfer, provided that they have not earned senior college credits prior to attending the community college. • No transfer student may be granted more than 90 credits toward the degree. Students must satisfy the requirement that 30 credits as well as one-half the credits in the major and half in the minor or half the credits in an interdisciplinary program be completed in residence at Lehman. (See the definition of credits in residence in the section on "Degree Requirements" in this Bulletin, under the heading "Credit Requirements.") Credit by Examination External Examination Programs (AP, CLEP, CPEP) Students who have participated in any one of the three external examination programs approved by the College—the Advanced Placement Program (AP), the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and the College Proficiency Examinations Program (CPEP)—may receive advanced placement depending on the scores achieved and criteria set by the College. Sophomore standing will be awarded to those who have earned four full Advanced Placement course credits. Credit by Departmental Examination All departments at Lehman College may offer credits by means of a departmental examination, provided the individual departments are convinced that the student, through previous study and/or work, is qualified to take the examination in a specific course. The department may assign either credit (representing a grade of C or better) or no credit to the examination. Students who fail this examination may not repeat it. Students requesting credit by departmental examination must pay the Qualifying Examination Fee as listed in the section on "Noninstructional Fees" in the chapter on "Tuition and Fees" in this Bulletin. The maximum number of credits students may earn through external examinations and life-experience credit (awarded through the Adult Degree Program), exclusive of Advanced Placement examinations, is 30. (For further information, consult the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation, Shuster Hall, Room 280.) Graduate Courses for Undergraduate Credit Seniors may take graduate courses for undergraduate credit under the same tuition conditions as those of their undergraduate courses, provided that they have a 3.0 cumulative index and a 3.0 index in the area in which they wish to take the course. They must secure a recommendation from the department and approval of the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation (Shuster Hall, Room 280). Graduate courses taken for undergraduate credit cannot be used toward a graduate program. Audited Courses All students, matriculant and non-degree, may audit any course other than a laboratory, provided attendance in the course does not involve the use of consumable material and/or equipment. Auditors will be charged regular tuition. Audited courses cannot be used to qualify for full-time or part-time status, financial aid, or veteran's benefits. AUD-graded courses carry no credits, but auditors must fulfill the instructor's requirements for auditors. AUD-graded courses should not be confused with courses graded "No Credit." To register as an auditor, prior written permission of the instructor and the appropriate department chair is required. No change from regular registration to auditing, nor from auditing to regular registration, will be permitted after the regular registration period has ended.

Pass/Fail Option Students may elect P/F grades for a maximum of 18 credits in their degree program under the following conditions: • The course for P/F must be outside (a) the College degree requirements and the major, minor, or interdisciplinary program and (b) the courses offered by Lehman's teacher education departments, except for those education courses that may be taken only on a Pass/Fail or Pass/No Credit basis. • Only one P/F course may be elected in any semester, except for those courses that are always graded P/F. • The P/F choice may not be changed after the College registration period has ended. • The credits taken on a P/F basis may not be counted toward the number of credits required in the major and minor when that area represents a change from a previous choice. Cumulative Index A student's overall level of scholarship is reflected in the cumulative index. Each student is expected to compute the index from the accompanying instructions and table and to recompute it each subsequent semester for a cumulative total. A cumulative index may not be computed by averaging the semester indices. Students should check their computation against their official transcripts. Grades and Credits in the cumulative index include: (1) all grades earned at the College, including F, FIN, WF, WN, WU, and J (no longer used) and those earned in a Lehman summer session and (2) all grades earned in courses taken at Lehman or City University study-abroad programs, provided that the students have received prior departmental approval. Grades and Credits to be excluded are those grades earned in any previous institution or program not listed in the preceding section and all P, NC, INC, R, PEN, and W. Grade Appeals Students dissatisfied with a grade received in a course should first consult the instructor involved. It is the instructor's sole judgment that determines the grade recorded in the Office of the Registrar. The instructor's first judgment is always taken. Second and later judgments resulting from personal appeals and hardship claims are never honored. Occasional errors do occur, and these are always corrected promptly when properly certified by the instructor to the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation. Departmental Grade Appeals When a student considers a grade unjust, he/she should first confer with the instructor. Students are required to initiate grade appeals before the end of the eighth week of a semester following the entry of a permanent grade. Second judgments and additional work are not permitted. If a student is not satisfied that justice has been done, he/she may appeal in writing to the department chair. If the chair is the instructor in question, the senior member of the department Personnel and Budget Committee will act for the chair. A. The chair will appoint a review committee of at least two department members who, with the chair, will review the appeal. The committee will examine all materials relevant to the appeal, submitted by both the instructor and the student, and will prepare a written report of its findings, either sustaining the original grade or recommending a change. B. The chair will notify the student, the instructor, and the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation of the committee's decision. If the committee recommends a grade change, the chair will forward that recommendation (A-1) with the decision. C. The decision of the review committee will be binding on both parties. Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 Index Computation Formula To learn to compute the cumulative index, assume that the accompanying table represents grades earned and proceed as follows: 1. Multiply the total number of credits for each grade by the quality points assigned to that grade and total the product obtained. 2. Total the number of credits attempted. 3. Divide the results obtained in Item One by the result obtained in Item Two. This number becomes the Lehman College cumulative index. The index must be computed to two decimal places. (See the accompanying table.) Grade Quality Symbols Points A Excellent 4.0 A3.7 B+ Good 3.3 B 3.0 B2.7 C+ Satisfactory 2.3 C 2.0 C1.7 D+* Poor 1.3 D* 1.0 F***** Failure 0.0 P Pass - NC** No Credit - R** Course must be repeated until minimum level - of proficiency is attained INC*** Incomplete - FIN An incomplete that has been turned to an F 0.0 W Withdrawal without Penalty - WN Never Attended 0.0 WU**** Unofficial Withdrawal 0 WF Withdrawal with Penalty 0 AUD Audited Course Y Year Course of Study; grade is indexed, but credit will be withheld if the year course is not completed according to grade A to D Z Registrar's grade when a grade sheet has not been submitted by the instructor # Repeat for better grade, removed from index & Repeat for better grade, remains in index * Repeat/Repeat of transfer credit/No credit when credit earned in XXX999 * Students, if they wish, may repeat one time only courses in which they have earned D grades. The D grade will stand, and the new grade will be averaged in the cumulative index, but the course will be credited only once. Undergraduate students may remove up to 16 credits worth of F penalty grades from their Grade Point Average by repeating the course in which the penalty grade was received and earning a grade of C-or better as long as the original penalty grade was earned in the Fall 1984 or thereafter and the course was repeated in the Fall 1990 or thereafter. The original F penalty grade remains on the transcript. Students should consult with the Office of Academic Standards and Academic Services and Policies 57 Evaluation regarding University guidelines affecting the repetition of courses in which a penalty grade has been received. If students repeat courses in which they have received grades, the repeated courses will neither be credited nor counted either in the students' semester or cumulative indices. ** The NC and the R are earned academic grades for courses in which the use of NC or R has been approved; the NC or the R is given when a student has completed a course, but has not earned a minimum grade of C; NCs and Rs are counted as credits attempted in determining the rate of satisfactory progress toward the degree. In order to receive credit for a course in which an NC or an R has been earned, a student must retake and satisfactorily complete the course. *** An Incomplete grade is turned to an F (FIN) when the work has not been satisfactorily completed within the established deadline. **** A WU grade is when a student withdraws unofficially and stops attending class(es). The student never completed the class. ***** An F grade is a failure/unsuccessful completion of a course. Grade Quality Credits Quality Points Attempted Points A 4.0 x 6 = 24.0 A3.7 x 4 = 14.8 B+ 3.3 x 3 = 9.9 B 3.0 x 2 = 6.0 B2.7 x 5 = 13.5 C+ 2.3 x 3 = 6.9 C 2.0 x 2 = 4.0 C1.7 x 4 = 6.8 D+ 1.3 x 3 = 3.9 D 1.0 x 3 = 3.0 F, WF, or WU 0.0 x 6 = 0.0 41 92.8 Number of credits taken = 41 Division of 92.8 (sum of quality points) by 41 = 2.26 (index) Attendance Students in basic skills courses are required to attend classes. Students in all other courses are expected to attend classes regularly, and instructors are required to record attendance for grading and counseling purposes. Individual instructors, as well as departments or degree programs, may establish specific attendance requirements. Instructors have the right to weigh attendance and class participation in determining grades. It is the student's responsibility to ascertain the effect attendance may have on the grade in a course. Students receiving financial aid must be certified or attending classes regularly for continuing eligibility. Final Examinations A written final classroom examination is required in every course and must be held at the same time scheduled by the Registrar's office. A graduating senior may be exempted from a final examination if the policy of the department or program is to exempt graduating seniors from final examinations. Exemptions are never automatic. Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 58 Academic Services and Policies A graduating senior who has failed the final examination in only one course required for graduation is entitled to a special examination, provided that the student has a passing grade average in the course. A student who misses a final examination for valid reasons may, after consultation with his/her instructor, be given a makeup final examination. The instructor must report the student's final grade in the course to the Office of the Registrar no later than the last day of classes of the following semester. Students taking one or more makeup final examinations must pay the special examination fee as scheduled under "Noninstructional Fees" (in the chapter on "Tuition and Fees" in this Bulletin) and present the Bursar's Receipt for the fee to the instructor. Incomplete Courses The grade of INC is awarded only when the course requirement has not been completed for good and sufficient reasons and when there is a reasonable expectation that the student can successfully complete the requirements of the course. The INC grade covers any failure to complete all requirements for a course, such as submitting a paper or taking a final examination. For an instructor to grant an INC, the student must have met the instructor's attendance requirements in the course and have a passing semester average. The student must complete the missing work within the first ten weeks of the following semester. If the instructor is not available, the student must consult with the department chair. A grade replacing the INC may not be entered by the instructor or department chair later than the last day of classes of the following semester. INC grades not completed by the deadline will become Fs (FINs) (or the equivalent under Grading System I-R, NC). WU and F Grades Policy A grade of 'WU' is a failure grade given to a student who began attending the class (at least one session) and stopped attending. This grade is assigned by the instructor to indicate that the student stopped attending the course before the end of the semester; or as a result of excessive absences for which there is no basis to give a final letter grade of "A to F," and the conditions for a grade of 'INC' do not apply. This grade is calculated in the GPA as zero and gives no credit. If a student wishes to receive credit for the course, it must be repeated with a passing grade; however, the 'WU' grade remains on the transcript. (A "WU" grade should never be given in place of an "F" grade, the "F" grade is an earned grade based on poor performance.) A grade of "F" is a failure grade given to a student who completed the class and failed. This grade is assigned for work that in the judgment of the instructor does not deserve college credit. This grade is calculated in the GPA as zero and gives no credit. If a student wishes to receive credit for the course, it must be repeated with a passing grade; however, the "F" grade remains on the transcript. Academic Integrity While honest scholarship is time-consuming and often requires hard work, it is also the primary process by which students learn to think for themselves. Faculty members must teach respect for methods of inquiry within the various disciplines and make assignments that will encourage honest scholarship; students in turn must uphold a standard of honesty within the College, thereby affirming the value and integrity of their Lehman degree. The following definitions and procedures govern cases involving undergraduate student work. The most common forms of academic dishonesty are cheating and plagiarism. Cheating is the use or attempt to use unauthorized material, information, notes, study aids, devices, or communication during an academic exercise (for example, using unauthorized books, papers, or notes during an examination; or procuring, distributing, or using unauthorized copies of examinations). Plagiarism means the failure to give credit for the source of another's words or ideas, including but not limited to books, articles, interviews, and multimedia and electronic sites, or—as in the use of borrowed or purchased papers—passing off another person's work as one's own. (Section 213-b of the New York State Education Law prohibits the sale of term papers, essays, and research reports to students enrolled in a college.) Common forms of cheating and plagiarism are highlighted in this Bulletin. Academic dishonesty is a serious violation of the accepted values of the College. When questions of a breach of academic integrity arise, instructors will inform the students of their suspicions and provide the student with a Faculty Report Form for Incidents of Suspected Academic Dishonesty. The instructor must remember that a student's failure to respond to charges of academic dishonesty is not in and of itself an indication of guilt. The report will include an explanation of the incident, the instructor's intended academic sanction, and an indication whether or not the instructor is recommending that the College undertake disciplinary proceedings pursuant to Article 15 of the Board of Trustees Bylaws. Academic sanctions may include but are not limited to the following: A. a grade of F on the paper or examination; the student may be given the option of submitting a similar but additional project for grading; B. a grade of F on the paper or examination, as above, but with no option to submit additional work; C. a grade of F for the course. Disciplinary procedures are governed by Article 15 of the Board of Trustees Bylaws. In the event the student is found guilty of academic dishonesty by a Faculty-Student Disciplinary Committee, penalties that may be imposed include but are not limited to: 1) suspension from the College or 2) expulsion from the College. Although the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs will be guided by the recommendation of the instructor, it reserves the right to seek disciplinary sanctions under the disciplinary procedures. Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 Academic Services and Policies 59 Should the instructor become convinced that the suspicions are unfounded, no further action will be taken and the Faculty Report Form will be destroyed. If the suspicions are founded and if both the student and the instructor are willing, they may agree upon a resolution. Subsequently the instructor will present the completed Faculty Report Form, including the charges and resolution, to the department chair who must forward the appropriate copies of the form to the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation, and the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. If no agreement is reached, the instructor must allow a student to complete all coursework until the following appeal process has been completed. • The first step in the appeals process is for the instructor to file the Faculty Report Form with the chair. If the term is completed, the instructor may assign a grade that reflects the intended sanction but must also provide a final grade that does not include the intended sanction if the charges are not upheld. • If the charges are for cheating, then the chair will submit the charges to the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. If the charges are for plagiarism, the chair will appoint a committee of three Lehman College faculty members, which will adjudicate the matter within three weeks by majority vote. If the chair is the instructor in question, the senior member of the department Personnel and Budget Committee will act for the chair. The committee will provide written notification of its decision to the chair, who will forward this recommendation and the Faculty Report Form to the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs will review the recommendations of the instructor and the committee for possible disciplinary sanctions and provide a written notification of its decision to the department chair, the student, the instructor, and the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation. Either the instructor or the student has the right, within three weeks of receipt of notification, to appeal the department decision in writing to the Committee on Admissions, Evaluation, and Academic Standards, which will act as adjudicator of last resort. Should any part of the three-week period fall outside the regular semester, the first three weeks of the next regular semester shall apply. The Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation will keep all records of such proceedings on file until the student's graduation, at which time they will be destroyed. As a result of a second upheld charge of academic dishonesty, disciplinary procedures will be pursued by the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs as governed by the procedures under Article 15 of the Board of Trustees' Bylaws. The following definitions and examples are adapted from the CUNY Policy on Academic Integrity. Cheating is the unauthorized use or attempted use of material, information, notes, study aids, devices, or communication during an academic exercise. Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to the following: • Copying from another student during an examination or allowing another student to copy your work. • Unauthorized collaboration on a take-home assignment or examination. • Using illegal notes during a closed-book examination. • Taking an examination for another student, or asking or allowing another student to take an examination for you. • Changing a graded exam and returning it for more credit. • Submitting substantial portions of the same paper for more than one course without informing each instructor. • Preparing answers or writing notes in a blue book (exam booklet) before an examination. • Allowing others to research and write assigned papers or do assigned projects, including the use of commercial term paper services. • Giving assistance to acts of academic misconduct or dishonesty. • Fabricating data (all or in part). • Submitting someone else's work as your own. • Unauthorized use during an examination of any electronic devices, such as cell phones, palm pilots, computers, or other technologies to send or retrieve information. Plagiarism is the act of presenting another person's ideas, research, or writings as your own. Examples of plagiarism include, but are not limited to the following: • Copying another person's actual words without the use of quotation marks and citations. • Presenting another person's ideas or theories in your own words without acknowledging the source. • Using information that is not common knowledge without acknowledging the source. • Failing to acknowledge collaborators on assignments. • Purchasing or downloading term papers online. • Paraphrasing or copying information from the Internet without citing the source. • "Cutting and pasting" from various sources without proper attribution. Academic Standards Students are expected to achieve and maintain a minimum GPA requirement during their enrollment at Lehman College. In order to remain in good academic standing, students must attain a minimum GPA of 1.5 for the first 12 attempted credits, 1.75 for the first 24 attempted credits, and a 2.0 semester index thereafter. Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 60 Academic Services and Policies Total number of credits attempted include Lehman College Fs, FINs, Ws, WFs, WUs, Ps, NCs, Rs, or their equivalents, and all transfer credits. Total Credits Attempted Minimum Lehman College Cumulative Indices 0-12 1.5 (or first four courses) 12-24 1.75 (or first eight courses) 24 2.00 Students who fail to meet the required cumulative index are automatically placed on probation warning until the end of the following spring semester. During this warning period, students maintain their academic standing with the College. Students who still do not meet the minimum requirements following the probationary warning period will be dismissed from the College. Students may appeal their dismissal to the Committee on Admission and Standing for consideration of readmission. Dismissed students whose appeals are granted will be placed on either part-time probation (fewer than 12 credits) or full-time probation (maximum of 16 credits) for the following academic year. The designation of part-time or full-time probation, as well as the determination of allowable credit load therein, will be at the discretion of the Committee on Admission and Standing. Students on probation are expected to regain good academic standing by the end of the academic year. Students who achieve a semester index of at least 2.3 for each semester of probation but who still do not meet the minimum retention standard by the end of the year will be permitted to extend their probationary period for the following academic year. Students who do not meet either of the conditions stated above will be dismissed once again from the College and may choose to submit another appeal. Probation Requirements 1. Students on full-time probation are expected to have a 2.0 cumulative index at the end of the academic year. 2. Students on part-time probation must satisfy the following academic requirements: a. each semester of the academic year, achieve a semester index of at least 2.3 in a maximum of two courses from among the College degree requirements, and b. make satisfactory progress toward a 2.0 cumulative index in all Lehman College work. Graduation Requirements To qualify for graduation with a Lehman College baccalaureate degree, students must complete the following requirements: 1. completion of at least 120 credits, including all degree requirements; 2. completion of at least 30 credits in coursework at Lehman, including at least half the number of credits in the student's major and half in the minor or half of the credits in an interdisciplinary program; 3. a minimum Lehman College cumulative index of 2.0; and 4. either a minimum grade of C or an overall index of 2.0 in all courses taken in the major and minor departments or in an interdisciplinary program.

Offerings, Levels, and Codes Alpha Code Subject Matter Undergraduate Lehman College courses are identified by a three- letter abbreviation (Alpha Code) followed by a three-digit number. The letters indicate the subject area of the course. For example: HIA 111 is a course in ancient history, while ENW 317 is a writing course offered by the Department of English. The meanings of the Alpha Codes are listed at the end of this chapter. Jointly Offered Courses Some courses are offered by two or more departments or programs. Before signing up for these courses, students should determine carefully the department or program under which they wish to register. The course code may not be changed after the student has registered for the semester. Number Code: Course Level and Category The three-digit number assigned to each course indicates the level and in some instances the type of course. For example: BIO 166 is intended for beginning students in biology, while BIO 490 is an advanced course limited to upper-class majors in biology. The meanings of the numbers are as follows: Course Levels Remedial and Developmental Courses (001-089) Students are directed to these courses as the result of skills assessment examinations. Hours and credits are not assigned in the same way as for other courses. Remedial Courses are noncredit courses with precollege content. Developmental Courses have in part college-level and in part precollege-level (remedial) work. They carry college credits only for the portion of the course that is college-level. The Remedial and Developmental courses are graded A, B, C, R, or NC. Students who receive a second grade of R in any remedial or developmental course may be dropped from the College. Compensatory Courses (090-110) All courses numbered 090-099 and some courses numbered 100110 carry more hours than credits for purposes of skills development. These courses are college-level courses offering credits equivalent to that of regular college courses without extended classroom hours. (Compensatory courses numbered below 100 are graded A, B, C, NC, or R. They may be repeated until a grade of C is achieved. They do not count for distribution credit.) Introductory Courses (100-199) Intermediate Courses (200-299) Advanced Courses (300-499) The prerequisite for courses numbered 300-399 is the satisfactory completion of at least 30 college credits, unless otherwise specified. The prerequisite for courses numbered 400-499 is the satisfactory completion of at least 60 college credits, unless otherwise specified. Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 NOTE: These course prerequisites are not repeated with every course description under "Course Offerings, Levels, and Codes;" however, the student is responsible for knowing about them and meeting them. This responsibility holds for all the information on course prerequisites presented in this section. Course Categories Skill and Performance Courses (100-110, 200-210) Basic skills courses include beginning foreign language courses, freshman composition, and basic performance courses, such as chorus, basic design, and keyboarding. In general, these courses may not satisfy Distribution requirements. Courses for which the Topic May Vary from Semester to Semester (150-165, 250-265, 350365, 450-465) Seminars or courses entitled "Topics in" exemplify courses of this type. These courses may be re-elected for a stated maximum number of credits (usually 6) when the topic changes. Courses numbered 150-165 are intended for beginning students. Courses numbered 350-365 are open only to students who have satisfactorily completed at least 45 credits, except with permission of the appropriate department chair or program coordinator. Courses numbered 450-465 are for students majoring in that subject area who have satisfactorily completed a total of 75 credits toward the degree, including at least 12 credits in that discipline or related areas. Fieldwork, Internship, Work Experience (270-280, 370-380, 470-479) Fieldwork places a student in an organized work setting outside the college classroom. Examples of such work settings include government agencies, business offices, social agencies, industrial establishments, and educational or health care institutions. The amount of time spent and the amount of credit earned may vary, but no more than 30 credits may be earned in courses for which the last two digits are 70-80. The number 480 is reserved for previous life experience in the Adult Degree Program. Courses numbered 370-379 are open only to students who have satisfactorily completed at least 45 credits. Courses numbered 470-480 are for majors who have satisfactorily completed a total of 75 credits toward the degree, including at least 12 credits in the discipline or related areas.

Students who wish to undertake independent study should consult an adviser from the department or interdisciplinary program encompassing the student's area of interest. Such consultation is essential before registering for one of these courses because plans have to be developed by the faculty member and the student. The first digit indicates the level of experience that a student should have before taking the course. Courses numbered 381-396 are open to students who have satisfactorily completed at least 60 credits or have permission of the department chair. Courses numbered 481-496 are for students majoring in that subject area who have satisfactorily completed a total of 75 credits toward their degree, including at least 12 credits in that discipline or related areas. Prerequisites A prerequisite course is one that must be satisfactorily completed before a more advanced course is taken. The following are not satisfactory grades for prerequisite courses: F, NC, INC, PEN, R, W, WU, WF, AUD. Students who receive an INC in a prerequisite must complete it within TWO WEEKS of the following semester if they wish to remain in the more advanced course. For example, PSY 166 is the prerequisite for all 200-level psychology courses. Corequisites A corequisite course is one that must be taken in the same semester as its related course. For example, CHE 114 (lecture) and CHE 115 (lab) are corequisite courses. Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 African and African American Studies 65 African and African American Studies Department Chair: Mark Christian (Carman Hall, Room 287) Department Faculty: Professor: Mark Christian; Associate Professor: James A. Jervis; Assistant Professors: Bertrade B. Ngo- Ngijol Banoum, Anne Rice. African and African American Studies is a body of knowledge that records, describes, and analyzes the experience of people of African descent in all parts of the world, but especially in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas. Africa and African American Studies appraises the past, examines the present, and seeks to shape the future. Career Preparation: The Department's offerings are designed to prepare students for graduate and professional studies as well as for careers in business; community development and social service agencies; Federal, State, and City government service; research; and teaching at the college, secondary, and elementary levels.

Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 American Studies 71 American Studies Committee on American Studies: Martin Burke (Carman Hall, Room 202B) and Earl Fendelman American Studies is an interdisciplinary major that investigates the content and meaning of American culture. Students selecting this course of study will acquire a broad picture of American experience from colonial times to the present day, together with the methodological techniques required for analysis of primary materials. Students will study widely in history, literature, the arts, and the social sciences, exploring the theoretical constructs and substantive interpretations of the various disciplines that examine American life. They will apply these contributions to specific content areas of the American experience, seeking to develop a systematic method to explain and evaluate American culture. In consultation with a member of the American Studies Committee, each student will formulate an individual program of study, without reference to traditional departmental fields. The program thus offers the opportunity to investigate those features of American culture that match student interests. Special courses emphasizing research and critical thought, such as seminars and tutorials taught by participating faculty, will be provided to synthesize the work of each student in the major. Students completing the American Studies Program will receive a Bachelor of Arts degree in American Studies and will be prepared for graduate study. Admission Requirements Students selecting the major in American Studies must meet the following requirements: • Completion of courses in the following distribution areas: historical studies, comparative cultures, and social sciences. • Completion of at least 60 credits at the time formal work in the program begins. It is anticipated that students will declare the selection of the American Studies major at the end of the sophomore year. Prior to this point, the Committee on American Studies will be available to advise prospective candidates for the program. • A cumulative grade index of not less than 2.5 for the first 60 credits. • Approval of the Committee on American Studies. The Committee on American Studies shall have at its discretion the option of waiving under unusual circumstances any of these requirements. Programs Each semester the Committee on American Studies will advise students in the program of the appropriate courses to be offered in the ensuing semester by departments participating in the program, as well as courses to be offered by the American Studies Program.

Anthropology (Physical), Biology, and Chemistry, B.S. (60-Credit Major) For a description of this program, view the Anthropology/ Biology/ Chemistry section of this Bulletin. Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 78 Anthropology / Biology / Chemistry Anthropology / Biology / Chemistry Program Coordinator: Vincent H. Stefan (Davis Hall, Room 411/421-A) Co-Director: Eric Delson Cooperating Departments: Anthropology; Biological Sciences; Chemistry; Earth, Environmental, and Geospatial Sciences; History; Mathematics and Computer Science; Philosophy; Physics and Astronomy; and Psychology. Anthropology (Physical), Biology, and Chemistry is an interdisciplinary major leading to the B.S. degree. The program serves several purposes: (1) to prepare students for specialization at the graduate level in one of several fields: human origins, human genetics, human growth, human adaptation, primatology, forensic anthropology, or criminalistics (forensic anthropology and criminalistic specializations utilize the facilities and staff of the Metropolitan Forensic Anthropology Team [MFAT] at Lehman College; MFAT personnel identify human skeletal and dental remains for law enforcement agencies, and students in these specializations receive practical experience through participation in MFAT investigations); (2) to prepare students for secondary-school teaching in the life sciences, with emphasis on human origins and biological variation in human groups; and (3) to prepare premedical and predental students. Anthropology (Physical), Biology, and Chemistry, B.S. (60 Credit Major) The required credits are divided into tracks: Track I for specializations in Physical Anthropology (such as Human Origins, Human Genetics, Human Growth, Human Adaptation, and Forensic Anthropology). Track II for specialization in Criminalistics and for premedical, predental, and preveterinary students; preprofessional students may take any three courses from MAT 175-176 (Calculus I and II) and PHY 166-167 (General Physics I and II) as elective credits within the major. (See elective credits below.) Other students may only receive credit for one course in each sequence. As an alternative to *ANT 322 or MAT 132, PSY 226 may be taken to satisfy the statistics requirement. Graduating senior or recent graduates in this program who have been accepted to medical or dental school are eligible to receive the Maizie Hirsch Scholarship of $5,000. Up to two of these scholarships may be awarded annually. For more information, contact the program coordinator or premed adviser. A.

The Business and Liberal Arts http://www.lehman.edu/academics/arts-humanities Program enables students to combine a traditional liberal arts education (including the natural and social sciences) with effective training in the business and/or not-for-profit sectors. Many liberal arts colleges around the nation have taken the initiative to prepare their students for business and non-profit careers without compromising the traditional characteristic of their educational mission. The administrators and educators of these institutions have noted that employers look for potential managers, who in addition to having excelled in critical thinking, effective communication, and analytical ability honed in liberal arts curriculums, also possess a general knowledge of business environments. This program both reaffirms the fundamental importance of liberal arts in college graduates’ overall development and provides the necessary theoretical and practical exposure to the global business world through appropriate courses, workshops, mentorship, and/or internships. Minor in Business for Liberal Arts Majors This minor, under the supervision of the Business and Liberal Arts Program, is designed to provide students majoring in the traditional fields of liberal arts with basic knowledge and skills useful for a career in business. Students may also apply for admission to the Internship Sequence, which includes an additional 4-or 5-credit course requirement and is supplemented by internships, workshops, seminars, mentoring opportunities, and advising. Requirements Students may declare the minor in Business for Liberal Arts Majors upon successful completion of two semesters of a declared Liberal Arts major* (i.e., 24 credits). Acceptance into the Internship Sequence is by written application to the Director of the Business and Liberal Arts Program.

Participating Departments: Anthropology; English; History; Languages and Literatures; Latin American and Puerto Rican Studies; and Philosophy. Participating Programs: Italian-American Studies, Latin American and Puerto Rican Studies, and Women's Studies. The interdepartmental major in Comparative Literature leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree. Comparative Literature investigates literary works from the perspective of more than one national literature; works are often studied in conjunction with other intellectual disciplines, such as anthropology, the arts, history, and philosophy. Traditionally, comparatists have focused on literary movements, genres, and historical periods, and on the history of literary themes and ideas, primarily within the context of Western literatures. More recently, comparatists have become interested in emergent and non-Western literatures, in minor genres like biography, in the history of education and the theory of reading, in women's studies, and in literary theory. The major in Comparative Literature is approved for students minoring in Early Childhood and Childhood Education. Curricular Program and Design The Comparative Literature major begins with a pair of foundation courses in world classics, studied either historically or by genre. An introductory course in the methods of literary study and criticism is provided by the department of the student's principal language specialization. In addition to a selection of electives chosen from participating departments and programs, the student must take at least four literature courses above the 200 level in which works are read in the original language, with no more than two of these courses in any language. Courses should be selected to provide a coherent program of study focused around a particular historical period, literary genre, or geographical area. Students have a great deal of flexibility in selecting coherent courses from participating departments and programs. Each student will be assigned an adviser from one of the participating departments or programs who will help define and coordinate the student's program of study. A Comparative Literature seminar completes the program. Comparative Literature, B.A. (30-31 Credit Major) The required credits are distributed as follows: Credits (30-31) In foundation courses: In order to gain a shared background in Western and non-Western literary classics, all Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 students must select one of two linked pairs of foundation courses, and IDW 213. The first pair is organized by historical periods and consists of IDW (CLT) 211 and 212. The alternate pair is organized by literary genre and consists of ENG 347 and 348. For course descriptions, see the descriptions later in this Bulletin under English and World Classics. 3-4 Introduction to Literary Studies: The student must take one of the following courses on the methods of literary study: ENG 300, SPA 300, FRE 300, IRI 300, or ITA 300. Students should select a course directly relevant to the advanced literature courses chosen in the 9-credit section below. For example, students planning to take 300-or 400-level courses in English Literature and Spanish Literature should take either ENG 300 or SPA 300 to satisfy this requirement. 6 In language courses: The two courses may be chosen from: • SPV 246: Introduction to Linguistics • ENG 304: The Structure of Modern English Comparative Grammar • English-French FRE 310 • English-Italian ITA 310 • English-Portuguese POR 310 • English-Spanish SPA 310 • English-German GER 310 • English-Russian RUS 310 • English-Japanese JAL 310 • English-Irish IRI 3100 9 Elective Courses: The three courses must be chosen from advanced 300-400-level literature courses read in the original language. These courses must be in no more than two languages. Students should select courses that enable them to concentrate on a particular historical period (e.g., the nineteenth century), a literary genre (e.g., the novel ), or a geographical area (the Caribbean, Latin America, etc.). Honors students must take CLT 481 as one of their three elective courses. For students minoring in Early Childhood and Childhood Education, one of these elective courses must deal with children's literature. 3 Seminar: CLT 360 Requirements for the Minor in Comparative Literature (12 Credits) The minor in Comparative Literature allows a student to build an interdisciplinary concentration of courses focused on a specific historical period, literary genre, or geographical area. Literature majors may use the minor to study works in a second language read in the original language or in translation, or to enrich their study of literature in their major by adding relevant courses from participating departments and programs, such as African and African American Studies, Anthropology, History, Philosophy, Theatre, or Women's Studies. Literature majors are encouraged to take ENG 306: Literary Criticism. Non-literature majors may use the minor as a way of studying literature, read in the original language or in translation, from both literary and interdisciplinary perspectives. Non-literature majors are encouraged to take IDW (CLT) 211 and 212, or ENG 347 and 348. To satisfy requirements for the Comparative Literature minor, students must complete four courses (12 credits) selected from the participating departments and programs, two at the 200 level or above, and two at the 300 level or above. At least two of these courses (including one course above the 200 level) must be literature courses. The minor must include works from more than one national literature. Courses should be selected to allow concentration on a specific historical period, literary genre, or geographical area. One course may be from the student's major department, but the credits must be separate from credits counted for the major. Each student's plan of study must be approved by a Comparative Literature adviser. Honors in Comparative Literature Honors in Comparative Literature may be conferred on a student who has satisfied the College's requirement for departmental honors at the time of graduation and has completed CLT 481: Honors Tutorial.

Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 104 Cooperative Education Cooperative Education Director: Nancy Cintron (Shuster Hall, Room 254) Cooperative education is an educational process in which students, employers, and Lehman College cooperate in relating a liberal arts education to the world of work. The program is based upon the concept that preparation for a student's future career is most effective when academic courses are closely integrated with relevant work experiences through internships. Students in the Lehman College Cooperative Education Program benefit from career exploration, work experience, financial earnings, and reassurance that a continued pursuit of a liberal arts program may enhance future employment prospects. For students with clearly defined professional goals, the internship experience may be a series of assignments with increasing responsibility within their chosen career field. For students in the liberal arts, the work experience will provide an opportunity to explore different career options and to discover for themselves that skills associated with a liberal arts education, such as analytical thinking, good spoken and written communication, and effective human relations, have practical value in the world of work. Cooperative Education Program The Cooperative Education Program provides students with academic and career advisement from the time of the student's initial enrollment in the program until graduation. Students enrolled in the Lehman College Cooperative Education Program take the following three courses for elective credit: CED 105: Introduction to Cooperative Education CED 270: Social Process and Career Development in the Work Environment CED 355: Academic Perspectives on the World of Work There are two types of internship placements available: • Alternate Placement. A student is employed full time during an entire semester and returns to full-time study the following semester. While employed, the student must register for a part- time program of courses, including either *CED 270 or *CED 355. • Parallel Placement. A student is employed part time (for a minimum of 15 hours per week), while continuing in a full academic program that includes either *CED 270 or *CED 355. Admission Requirements Students must have completed 15 credits, have a minimum cumulative index of 2.5, and have passed all the skills-assessment examinations. For further information about the program, contact Career Services at 718-960-8366.

Four programs offer initial teaching certificates: Early Childhood; Early Childhood-Integration of Bilingual Extension; Childhood; and Childhood-Integration of Bilingual Extension. The Lehman Urban Transformative Education (LUTE) Conceptual Framework that guides these teacher education programs was developed by faculty to provide a philosophical base for the faculty's work as teacher educators. It delineates what is valued by the Department as well as how teaching practices within the Department reflect those values. The Department's mission is to prepare competent, qualified, ethical, and reflective professionals for service to diverse communities. Within CUNY's tradition of access and excellence and Lehman's mission of service to the urban community, it is expected that teachers who study in these programs will bring respect for knowledge, diversity, caring, and justice to their work with children, families, colleagues, and local organizations that comprise the Lehman community. Teacher Certification New undergraduate programs, designed to meet New York State teacher certification requirements, went into effect for students entering undergraduate teacher education programs as of September 1, 2001. Upon completion of one of the following programs, and after achieving passing scores in required New York State teacher certification examinations, the student will have satisfied State requirements for Initial Certification in one of the following programs: Early Childhood; Early Childhood with a Bilingual Extension; Childhood; or Childhood with a Bilingual Extension. A student can acquire a New York State initial teaching certificate when he or she has successfully completed the following: • all core and distribution requirements and an approved liberal arts major; • a 12-credit Early Childhood and Childhood Education (ECCE) minor; • a certification sequence of professional coursework; • professional practice (student teaching and student teaching seminar); Early Childhood and Childhood Education 109 • passing scores on required NYS teacher certification examinations: NYS LAST examination, NYS CST-Multiple Subjects examination, and NYS ATS-W examination; and • mandatory training in child abuse identification and reporting and violence prevention.

Applications are available in Carman Plaza NE, Room 128. Eligibility Students entering Lehman for the first time, either as freshmen or as transfer students, may apply to the ADP if they meet the following criteria: 1) completed 15 college credits or fewer; or 2) completed 16 to 60 college credits but have not been enrolled in an educational institution in the past five years. Degree Requirements Adult Degree Program students must successfully complete all exams required by CUNY for admission and for continuation beyond 60 credits. Students must also meet the English writing requirement recommended by the ADP; in addition, all students must meet the minimum index required for graduation by the College and by their major department. ADP students are exempt from the College's Core and Distribution requirements, as well as the requirements in foreign language, oral English, and a minor field of study. They must, however, complete a broad liberal arts course of study that includes a minimum of 36 credits of liberal arts courses outside of the major concentration. Major Students may opt for either a regular major as described in this Bulletin (e.g., History, Biology) or design their own interdisciplinary major (e.g., Urban Studies) with the advice and approval of a committee composed of two faculty members representing the relevant study areas. The individually designed major must contain a minimum of 24 upper-division credits, excluding independent study, internships, and field placements. Students pursuing individualized majors must take at least 3 credits of independent study to qualify for Departmental honors at graduation. Life-Experience Credits Students in the Program may apply for up to 15 credits for life experience. Students do not automatically qualify for these credits. They are eligible to apply for an evaluation of their employment or volunteer activities when these activities include achievements relevant to a Lehman College department. The credits for life experience will count as electives toward the 120 credits needed for graduation. Veteran's credits, Regents credits, and credits received by departmental qualifying exams are counted as part of the life-experience credits. Non-Classroom Credits ADP students may enroll for up to 30 academic credits for independent study activities, such as research projects, reading tutorials, and fieldwork during their college career. Students receiving life-experience credits, however, have the total number of non-classroom credits available to them reduced by the number of credits received for life experience. The precise content or structure of the independent study project must be approved by the student's faculty sponsor and the sponsor's Department Chair. Written approval of his or her independent study proposal must be submitted to the ADP Office prior to registration. Adult Degree Colloquium The Individualized Baccalaureate Art Colloquia (IBA 150-165) are designed to introduce Adult Degree students to various aspects of a liberal arts education. The Individualized Baccalaureate Program The Individualized Baccalaureate Program (IBAP) allows Lehman students to establish their own academic goals. IBAP students can design their own majors with the assistance and approval of a faculty committee and supplement their major with independent study. Applications are available in the Office of Individualized Studies, Carman Plaza NE, Room 128. Eligibility In addition to proposing an individualized major, students must have completed at least 30 credits, but no more than 89 credits, including at least 12 Lehman College credits. Other requirements include a minimum 3.0 Lehman index and successful completion of both the CUNY Proficiency Exam and the College's English writing requirement. Major Students can design their individualized major in a number of ways. They may present a course of study that focuses on any of the following: 1) a single aspect of one of the disciplines offered by the College; or 2) an interdisciplinary area of study. The number of credits that constitute the major is determined by the faculty committee supervising the student, subject to the restriction that students must earn a minimum of 24 upper-division course credits in the major area, but no more than 60 credits in any one department, including independent study, internships, and field placements. Life-Experience Credits IBAP students who are 25 years old or older may apply for life- experience credits, where appropriate. To determine eligibility for these credits, students should meet with an advisor after they have been accepted into the program. Non-Classroom Credits Students in the IBAP may take up to 30 credits of independent study, inclusive of credits received for life experience. Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 Individualized Study Programs 163 Degree Requirements Program." See Degree Requirements as outlined under "The Adult Degree Lehman College Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2015 164 Italian-American Studies Italian-American Studies Director: Professor Anthony LaRuffa (Davis Hall, Room 111) Committee Members: Professors Madeline Moran and Manfredi Piccolomini Cooperating Departments: Anthropology, Art, English, History, Languages and Literatures, Music, Political Science, and Sociology The program in Italian-American Studies is an interdisciplinary major that focuses on Italian-American experiences as they relate to both the Italian and American contexts. The program provides the student with the opportunity to investigate the social, cultural, psychological, historical, and esthetic dimensions of the Italian- American experience. The major in Italian-American Studies offers an area of specialization for students who plan graduate training in ethnic studies, and for those who expect to teach in urban areas where there are large numbers of Italian-Americans. For those students who will pursue advanced degrees in the arts, the humanities, or in the various social and behavioral sciences, a major in both the field of their choice and in Italian-American Studies, a dual major, permits a specialty within the academic discipline. The curriculum has practical applicability to teaching at all levels, and to the service-oriented professions (medicine, psychology, social work, law, etc.). A dual major is required of all students majoring in Italian-American Studies, except those preparing to qualify for an Initial Certificate in education. In most instances, 12 credits from the second major may serve as part of the Italian-American Studies major as well (see the outline of requirements below). In consultation with a member of the Italian-American Studies Committee, each student will formulate an individual program of study, without reference to traditional departmental fields. The program thus offers the opportunity to investigate those features of Italian-American culture that match student interests. Special courses emphasizing research and critical thought, such as seminars and tutorials taught by participating faculty, will be provided to synthesize the work of each student in the major. NOTE: Cross-listed courses may be taken for credit in either IAS or in the department in which the course originates. Program Procedure Each semester the Committee on Italian-American Studies will advise students in the program of the appropriate courses to be offered in the ensuing semester by departments participating in the program, as well as of courses to be offered by the Italian- American Studies program. Each student majoring in Italian- American Studies must receive the Committee's approval before registering for any course to be credited toward the major.
