Internship experiences are the hallmark of a Lesley education. Combined with small seminars, students embark on "hands-on" field experiences from their very first year and broaden that exposure to the field throughout all four years. Internships are designed to challenge assumptions students may have about themselves and the world, and give the kind of experience that not only leads to personal growth, but also results in exceptional résumés. It is this careful integration of internship and seminar — theory and practice — that we believe really distinguishes the Lesley curriculum from those at other colleges.

A comprehensive general education program provides all students with a strong liberal arts foundation in the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Further study in the liberal arts is accomplished through the selection of a Liberal Arts Major, engaging students more deeply in understanding the world through the lens and perspective of particular disciplines. Professional majors provide students with the skills and knowledge needed to begin careers in education, human services, or management. And for those who can't find what they want in the constellation of majors offered, the self-designed major provides an opportunity to fashion a unique program of study that best satisfies personal interests and goals. Regardless of the choice of major, the internship experiences remain integral to the program of study and are carefully woven throughout the program.

Through this comprehensive curriculum, including both liberal arts and professional studies, students leave Lesley well prepared to begin a career or with the knowledge and skills that will lead to success in graduate school.
