Located in the Bedford Park section of the Bronx, Lehman College occupies 37 acres of the former Bronx campus of Hunter College, featuring Gothic-style architecture dating to the 1930s. As part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, Lehman serves primarily as a commuter campus, though limited student housing is available through a partnership with a nearby private residence. The college offers undergraduate and graduate programs across arts and sciences, with particular strength in education, nursing, social work, and business, while maintaining selective admission standards for a public institution. Originally established as part of Hunter College before becoming independent in 1968, Lehman College is distinguished by its tree-lined campus, modern science facility, and APEX athletics complex, which serves both the college's NCAA Division III athletic programs and the local community.
