Liberal Arts students learn to think critically and work collaboratively.
Internships
What sets Lesley apart is our goal to provide each of our students with an internship that offers the opportunity for hands-on experience in an area they would like to explore. We work directly with each student to identify what interests them and the internship opportunities that will enable them to take what they are learning in the classroom and bring it to life. Previous placements range from publishing houses and creative magazines to historical societies and sports teams.
Cohorts
We are committed to supporting all students throughout their entire career journey, starting from the day they enroll throughout their careers. Starting in the Fall of 2024, each entering undergraduate will be in a cohort of students to explore their professional interests with alumni and faculty who become the essential mentors and collaborators necessary for professional development and support. Our Business Club, for instance, is a student cohort designed to broaden understanding of the spectrum of business possibilities through introductions to Lesley alumni and community members and to local companies and organizations.
Flexible Curriculum
As with all programs at Lesley, the Liberal Arts & Business programs are designed to encourage students to take a suite of classes in other areas of the university so students can build the program that best serves their professional future. Students in liberal arts may take classes in photography in the College of Art & Design, or in Expressive Arts in the Psychology department—whatever they believe will enhance their path forward.
