Nursing programs at CUNY Lehman College
The nursing offerings tracked in federal data here are the bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN) and master’s degree in nursing (MSN). Recent annual completions came to about 145 bachelor’s-level nursing graduates and about 82 master’s-level nursing graduates. A bachelor’s program is the traditional four-year route to RN licensure and the usual starting point for later graduate study; see our ADN vs. BSN guide if you are still deciding on a degree level. The MSN option is aimed at licensed nurses moving into advanced practice, leadership, or teaching.
Cost and student outcomes
Published tuition and fees are about $7,400 a year for in-state students and $15,400 for out-of-state students. The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $500 a year. About 63% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Students who finish the bachelor’s level and borrow leave with median federal loan debt of about $16,500. Federal earnings data puts median pay for those bachelor’s-level nursing graduates at roughly $109,100 one year after finishing and $119,100 four years out. These are estimates for graduates with reported earnings, not a promise. Schoolwide, about 48% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time and 73% return for a second year.
Applying and licensure
Admission is moderately selective, with about 57% of applicants admitted overall, so a solid academic record helps. Expect the nursing program to have its own application, prerequisite courses, and limited seats. Our guide to getting into nursing school explains what programs typically look for. After graduation, the path to a license goes through the New York State Education Department Office of the Professions and the NCLEX exam. Ask the program about its accreditation (ACEN or CCNE) and state approval, and see how it stacks up against other nursing schools in New York.
