The Albert Einstein College of
Medicine of Yeshiva University is a
graduate school of Yeshiva University.
The private medical school opened
its fi rst class in 1955 with a total
of 56 students. It was the fi rst
new medical school to be erected
within New York City since 1897.
Albert Einstein agreed to attach his
name to the school only after it was
agreed upon to write into its bylaws
that admission would not be based
upon race, religion, creed, color,
national origin, sex, age, disability,
veteran or disabled veteran status,
marital status, sexual orientation
or citizenship status. The school
has continued to operate in this
way for over 57 years, and is now
home to more than 2,500 faculty
members, 724 M.D. students, 248
Ph.D. students, 117 MSTP students
and 368 postdoctoral investigators
training at the Belfer Institute for
Advanced Biomedical Studies.
More than 8,000 Einstein alumni
are among the nation’s foremost
clinicians, biomedical scientists, and
medical educators.
Among its pioneering educational
initiatives, Einstein was one of
the fi rst major medical schools
to integrate bedside experience
with learning, bringing fi rst-year
students into contact with patients
and linking classroom study to case
experience. Einstein also led the way
in the development of bioethics as
an accepted academic discipline in
medical school curricula, was the
fi rst private medical school in New
York City to establish an academic
department of family medicine, and
was the fi rst to create a residency
program in internal medicine with an
emphasis on women’s health. The
medical school is affi liated with six
hospital centers: Montefi ore Medical
Center; Beth Israel Medical Center;
North Shore-Long Island Jewish
Health System; Jacobi Medical
Center; the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital
Center; and St. Barnabas Hospital
Center. It is also affi liated with three
mental health facilities and four
long-term care facilities. Through
its extensive affi liation network,
Einstein runs one of the largest postgraduate
medical training programs
in the United States, offering some
155 residency programs to more
than 2,200 physicians in training.
In addition to education, it is
biomedical research that drives the
College’s growth with 300 research
laboratories researching diabetes,
cancer, liver disease, and AIDS
while also concentrating its efforts
on developmental brain research,
neuroscience, cardiac disease, and
initiatives to reduce and eliminate
ethnic and racial health disparities.
To further their efforts, Einstein
marked the opening of the Michael
F. Price Center for Genetic and
Translational Medicine/Harold and
Muriel Block Research Pavilion, a
223,000 square-foot biomedical
research building that houses 40
new laboratories. These new stateof
the-art facilities bring together
world-class scientists and the most
advanced cutting-edge technology
to facilitate the “translation” of
discoveries at the molecular level
to the actual treatment, cure and
prevention of disease.

LEHMAN COLLEGE
250 Bedford Park Boulevard West
Bronx, NY 10468

President: Daniel Lemons
Lehman College was established
as an independent unit of The City
University of New York on July 1,
1968, following a decision by the
University’s Board of Trustees to
create a comprehensive senior college
in the Bronx with its own faculty,
curriculum, and administration.
The College took over the campus
that, since 1931, had served as the
Bronx branch of Hunter College,
known as Hunter-in-the-Bronx. For
a decade before the entry of the
United States in the Second World
War, only women students attended,
taking their fi rst two years
of study at the Bronx campus and
then transferring to Hunter’s Manhattan
campus to complete their
undergraduate work. Shortly after
U.S. entry into the war, the students
and faculty vacated the campus and
turned over the facilities to the U.S.
Navy, which used them as a training
station for the newly organized
WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer
Emergency Service). The
fi rst meetings of the U.N. Security
Council on American soil were held
on the campus in 1946. Normal
collegiate activity resumed at the
campus in 1947, but, in addition to
women, the Bronx branch began
accepting former servicemen, who
studied in separate classes. In 1951
the campus became fully coeducational
and a four-year curriculum
was introduced. The process of
separating the Bronx campus from
Hunter College into a separate unit
began in 1967. The Board of Higher
Education named the new college
after Herbert H. Lehman, in recognition
of the commitment to public
service exemplifi ed by the four-time
governor of New York State who later
became a U.S. Senator and was
the fi rst director-general of UNRRA
(the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration).
Lehman College provides undergraduates
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 fi eld and also
the skills and knowledge to meet
life’s varied challenges responsibly,
intelligently and creatively. On
the graduate level, the College has
developed professional programs
in nursing, teacher and counselor
preparation, accounting, computer
science, health services, and
speech-language pathology. The
College also offers strong traditional
liberal arts graduate programs in
art, biology, English, history, Spanish
and mathematics. Lehman also
offers baseball, basketball, track,
swimming and diving, tennis, softball,
and volleyball, among others.
For more than two decades, Lehman
has also deepened its involvement
with the surrounding community.
The opening of the Lehman
Center for the Performing Arts in
1980 and the Lehman College Art
Gallery in 1984 has made the College
a cultural center for the region.
Together with the City and the Humanities
Program, the Department
of Music, and the Theatre program,
they present dozens of concerts,
plays, dance performances, and exhibitions
that are free or nominally
priced.
