Education Dual Degree Programs

The dual degree programs provide opportunities for students to meet requirements for a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in an accelerated program that prepares them to teach in two licensure areas. Full-time students can usually complete a dual degree program in five years. The dual degree programs are designed for students who demonstrate a high degree of maturity and academic potential. They require students to meet high standards of academic achievement in both their undergraduate and graduate level coursework. Students admitted to Lesley College may apply for admission to the dual degree programs at the end of their sophomore year. In order to be accepted into these programs, students must have maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher during the first four semesters of college. Formal application involves creating a portfolio application, which is reviewed by a team of undergraduate and graduate faculty. Transfer students should consult the division director about application. Students interested in pursuing a dual degree should contact the advisor for the division director in order to obtain further information.
