All of Lesley University’s academic programs are accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). However, several programs at Lesley University also have specialized accreditation.
The baccalaureate Business Management program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
The Master of Business Administration program is new. ACBSP requires that a program be in existence for at least two years and have graduated before the program can become a candidate for accreditation. The Business Management Department will apply for accreditation of the MBA program within two years following successful graduation of the first class in this program.
Business Management Program Vision
We offer a high-quality, student-centered, accredited Bachelor of Science in Business Management degree program with specializations in Brand Design and Marketing, Sports Marketing and Management, Financial Planning, and Organizational Leadership.
Guiding Principles
- Develop engaging learning experiences from the freshmen year to the senior year that integrate real-world applications as students are exposed to theories.
- Use the ripped from the headlines approach to demonstrate theory in a real-life context.
- Use case studies team projects, computer simulations, and experiential learning to apply classwork to issues drawn straight from the business world.
- Use early interventions to assist our students as early as possible in the semester. Courses must have enough assessments and/or exams by the end of the fifth week of the semester to determine whether students are passing the course. This information must be given to students prior to the midterm exam.
