Those with associate's degrees who also meet specific arts and sciences prerequisites, as well as other requirements, are eligible to apply to the program. Lesley will deliver classes on site at TCC, and student teaching opportunities will be offered in the Pierce County area.
You need to earn 120 semester hours (160 quarter hours) to receive a Bachelor's degree from Lesley. You must complete 54 semester hours (72 quarter hours) from Lesley, and you can transfer up to 66 semester hours (88 quarter hours) into the program. Students take the Lesley courses in a cohort.
