Students are required to take two foreign language courses in the same language (including American Sign Language). This is part of the CUNY Pathways College Option.
Only students who transfer into Lehman with an associate's degree are exempt from the Foreign Language Requirement.
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 (if a language course is chosen it cannot be the same language as the student’s 200-level course).
(These courses cannot also serve to meet Common Core requirements.)
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.)
Transfer students may not be required to complete all of the requirements listed. Please refer to the appropriate general education checklist or visit the Transfer Students information page.

The two are to be chosen in topics outside their major from four of the following five variable topics courses. Each semester, a series of topics for these courses will be announced in the Schedule of Classes.
Transfer students may not be required to complete all of the requirements listed. Please refer to the appropriate general education checklist or visit the Transfer Students information page.
Students must complete four courses designated as writing-intensive, three prior to earning the 60th credit and one following. Individual sections of courses will be designated as writing-intensive, and students may take writing-intensive sections of courses in General Education, major, minor, and elective courses.
Transfer students who have completed less than 30 college credits must complete four courses designated as writing-intensive; those who have completed at least 30 but less than 60 college credits must complete three courses designated as writing-intensive; those who have completed 60 or more college credits must complete two courses designated as writing-intensive.
