For 30 years, the Adult Learning Center (ALC) at Lehman College has been one of the leading adult education programs in New York City. Every year, ALC provides approximately 800 adults, primarily from the Bronx, with free classes in the following subjects:

• Adult Basic Education (ABE)

• English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)

• TASC™/High School Equivalency (HSE) Test Preparation

ALC's educational approaches value the diversity of ALC students, who come primarily from nearby Bronx neighborhoods and reflect an inclusive mix of Latina, African, Asian, and European heritages.
