The Value of a Degree

Achieve your short-term goals and your long-term dreams

Earning your Bachelor's degree is an accomplishment that brings great personal and professional reward. In fact, surveys of Lesley graduates reveal that over the last five years, 93% of adults who were seeking employment found positions within six months of commencement.

Reap the benefits of field-based learning
Because of our commitment to in-field learning, Lesley has many long-term relationships with schools, companies, not-for-profit organizations, and foundations and government agencies. These connections help our faculty and students understand what skills and knowledge are required to succeed in today's classrooms and organizations.

More opportunities for those with Bachelor's degrees
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data show that the number of jobs for workers with a Bachelor's or higher degree is projected to increase from 38 million in 2006, to more than 43 million by 2016, an increase of nearly 15%. This growth rate is faster than the average growth for all occupations, and faster than the rate for jobs at other levels.

Improved quality of life
BLS data also shows that completing a college education enhances an individual's earning potential. Equally important will be the increase in your ability to positively impact the lives of others.
