The Albert Einstein College of
Medicine of Yeshiva University
is a graduate school of Yeshiva
University. The private medical
school opened its first class in
1955 with a total of 56 students.
It was the first 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 post-graduate
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: Fernando Delgado
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.
