And yet liberal arts education is often undervalued and underappreciated for the crucial role it plays in preparing students to succeed in any discipline, including important fields such as education, mental health, art, and design.
And while colleges and universities offer a wide range of different business-focused degrees and programs, many of these options don’t meet the needs of students seeking a business education that prepares them to excel and lead in professions like education, mental health, or art and design.
Liberal arts education fosters the critical thinking, communication, and deep understanding that’s essential to succeeding in today’s complex, multidisciplinary world.
When you give to Lesley, you help produce graduates prepared to contribute and lead across today’s diverse economy.
Your gift to Lesley supports:
