About Lesley College 

Lesley College is a place filled with possibilities. Students are attracted to the College by the promise of a unique education where academic challenge and personal growth are integrated, where theory is illuminated by experience, and where career is indistinguishable from social responsibility.

At Lesley, our students share one thing in common: a passion for making a difference in the lives of others. Some may plan to have that impact through teaching, others through careers in human services, counseling, or business management. Still others, undecided about how they will impact the world, pursue their passions through history, environmental studies, political science, or other liberal arts study. Whatever the choice of focus, fundamental to the undergraduate experience at Lesley is the integration of significant "hands on" internship experiences throughout all four years of study.

Lesley College students benefit tremendously from the resources and breadth of opportunities that come from being part of Lesley University, a comprehensive institution of more than 10,000 men and women with programs delivered in over 20 states. Along with students enrolled in Lesley’s professional art college, The Art Institute of Boston, Lesley College students live and study in a setting of 1,400 on-campus undergraduates in Cambridge, one of the finest college towns in the country.

In addition to celebrating our Centennial this year, we also celebrate our new partnership with the world-renowned Longy School of Music. Longy, located between our Quad and Brattle Street campuses, is committed to inspiring musicians to become leaders in forging new paths, using music to make an impact in the world. This affiliation makes available to Longy undergraduate diploma candidates the opportunity to study for their Bachelor degrees at Lesley College, and will expand opportunities for Lesley students to study music in classes and private lessons.
