Flexible Education for Your Diverse Interests

Lesley's comprehensive general education program gives you a strong liberal arts foundation in the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. You'll have great flexibility and choice to fulfill requirements—and a wide variety of options when deciding your major.

Real World Experience for Real Learning

Internship experiences are the hallmark of your Lesley education. Combined with small seminars, you'll embark on "hands-on" field experiences from the very first year. Internships are designed to challenge your assumptions about yourself and the world, and give the kind of experience that provides growth—for you and your resume.

Moving Toward an Exciting Future

Our combination of liberal arts coursework and hands-on experience prepares you for the real world—whether that is starting a career, or continuing your education in graduate school.
