Macaulay Honors College

Lehman College

At Lehman College, University Scholars join the Lehman Scholars Program, an academic environment built on excellence and a spirit of collaboration. Among other features, the Lehman Scholars Program offers five to six new interdisciplinary honors seminars each term on a wide variety of subjects, from classical to contemporary. These seminars provide Scholars with rich opportunities for writing, discussion, and presentations on many topics. Scholars may take any course in the college catalog for one additional credit, with permission of the instructor, allowing them to explore a subject more deeply.

Lehman College offers more than 45 majors, including mathematics, computer science, English, speech and language hearing science, biology, chemistry, psychology, sociology and social work, history, and languages and literature. At Lehman, Scholars learn from a world-class faculty of eminent writers, scientists, and distinguished professors including: Billy Collins, former Poet Laureate of the United States; Academy Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Corigliano; physicist Eugene Chudnovsky; and mathematicians Victor Pan and Adam Koranyi.

Scholars use Lehman’s outstanding academic, athletic, and cultural facilities, including state-of-the-art research laboratories, an information technology center, a sports and recreation complex ranked among the finest in the metropolitan area, and a concert hall that critics have hailed as “acoustically perfect.”

The Lehman Scholars Program makes its home in the main campus library, known for its impressive holdings and its friendly staff, where a new lounge provides Scholars a place to relax, study, chat informally with faculty, and work cooperatively on class presentations. This welcoming spirit is a hallmark of Lehman College.
