- Appointments (One-on-One)
The path to earning a degree isn’t always a straight shot through a single college or university. Our generous transfer credit options however can potentially save you one or two semesters worth of tuition. The flexibility or our transfer credit options and the affordability of Lehman also makes this a great place to finish your degree. If you think you may want to transfer credit from a previously attended institution please get in contact with the Office of Graduate Studies (located in Shuster Hall, Room 279).
