Lesley’s MBA program is unique in its combination of breadth and flexibility. A rigorous core curriculum ensures that students build the essential skills that are at the foundation of management education. But specializations, including finance, marketing, and operations, our program also allows you to focus on the areas you’re most passionate about. The Lesley MBA is for students looking to advance in management, marketing, and other traditional business disciplines, but is also designed for students pursuing business education to turbocharge careers in education, mental health, or art and design.
