CUNY Lehman College Reviews

"The Master of Social Work program is geared towards the Urban Environment. Social workers that are going to practice in New York, will most likely be working in an urban environment. This is what makes the program unique and beneficial. It prepares you for the community, people, environment we intend to work with. The professors have all worked in New York, understand the systems, the population and the environment. The professors and staff are always willing to answer questions, meet with students, discuss concerns. They courses are run as hands on, and interactive adding an additional layer to the learning. The set-up is very conducive to student participation. The campus itself is small and contained. The school caters to undergraduates and graduates, and thus the offices and other facilities are open until late. The campus is well kept, well lit and the environment is friendly and safe. The departments offer a lot of opportunities for students to meet often, in order to socialize. Lehman College is a great school and I am extremely happy of having selected this school to complete my graduate degree after having graduated 16 years ago from college."

"The Social Work program at Lehman College has no cons to it. The pros are endless because this program has allowed me to pursue the dream of being the servant leader I have always known that I could be. The faculty staff know you by name and are genuinely interested in the well-being of their students. We are not just a number, but apart of the Lehman College social work extended family."

"I truly believe that I received a great undergraduate and graduate education at Lehman at an affordable price. Most teachers were very knowledgeable and helpful. As a NYC public school Special Education teacher, I don't think any courses would have prepared me for what I have experienced the past three years. I think more hands on experience should be required. Otherwise, I would recommend Lehman College to anyone."

"The internship prepares you for life post graduation and the student body is very ethnically diverse. However, the program is not very competitive and does not offer too many opportunities for scholarship or financial aid."

"Very accessible, and a staff that is willing to help you reach your goals."

"The pros of this program would have to be the excellent faculty. Not only are they knowlegable but they are passionate and always available for help. A con would have to be the utter ridiculous prices the books are."

"Throughout all the CUNY schools, Lehman is one of the best campuses I've seen. Not only is the campus amazing but so is its staff. Teacher's have a genuine passion to see students excel and succeed. I would recommend Lehman's Social Work program to anyone!"

"This school is highly recommended. The faculty and staff genuinely care about the students well-being and success. They always go above and beyond expectations to ensure all students are fully prepared for their future."

"I have attended Lehman College for my undergraduate degree and now will be attending it for my graduates degree and I feel like the staff in the MSW program are very pleasant and very helpful. They do everything they can to help you succeed."

"The pros of the graduate program are that the professors are very knowledgeable in the field of speech pathology, the program is diverse and small. Also, as a graduate student in this program I can have the opportunity to help adults and children to ameliorate their speech disorders. The cons are that is very competitive to be selected for this program and the work load is a lot."

"The master of social work program at Lehman College provide students with the knowledge they need to be great professionals but, the program lacks flexibility in choosing classes."

"The pro is that is inexpensive compare to other school programs and the faculties are very knowledgeeble and amazing. They care for their student learning and are extremely professional. The con about this programs is that it accepts new applications once a year and only for the fall semester."

"The pro's is that there are three different programs you can choose from like the accelerated program. the cons is that they all require you to do an internship for each year, so if you do the 2 yr program, then you have to do the same requirements for each year."

"Very tough program, but full of learning opportunities. The faculty does little to help with placement after graduation or for internships, but the price is excellent. Programs in surrounding areas (Mercy, New Rochelle, LIU) cost triple the amount. The program is 4 years a pretty time consuming. All students must be prepared to make scarifices. Every class loses approx. 50% of the class before graduation because of the rigor. So, be sure this is what you want."

"Pros: close to where I work; professors are always there when you need them. Cons: I don't believe my classes are preparing me for my future endeavors."

"The pros are that Lehman college is close to where I work, and the professors are always available if you need them. The cons is that I don't feel that Lehman is properly preparing me for my future plans of becoming a school leader."

"I enjoy doing the work for the most part but requires a lot of personal time to fully grasp the material"

"Good school considering educational expense."

"cons 1 specific and short 2 does not require GMAT or GRE SCORES PROS NO HYBRID CLASSES"

"Friendly environment not enough class offerings."
