First-Year Honors

Students entering Lesley College who meet the appropriate requirements are invited to enroll in a First-Year Honors Program. Entrance to the program is based primarily on a student's high school record. The First-Year Honors Program includes a set of linked liberal arts courses taken in the first semester. The Honors students take the two classes together and have the opportunity to develop deep connections between two different courses and their content.

Self-Designed Honors

The Self-Designed Honors Program, open to students with a high GPA who exemplify the values of Lesley College, includes self-designed honors-level experiences incorporated into existing courses, independent studies, and seminars on topics of interest identified by honors program students. Information about the First-Year and Self-Designed Honors Programs may be obtained from Christine Evans, Director of the Honors Program, at 617.349.8959 or cevans@lesley.edu.

Dual Degree Programs

Other honors programs available to Lesley College students are the dual degree programs offered between Lesley College and the School of Education, and Lesley College and the Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences. Dual degree programs allow students to meet requirements for a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in an accelerated program. The programs are designed for students who demonstrate a high level of maturity and academic potential and demand that students be able to achieve the academic rigor of graduate study during their undergraduate experience.
