Educating for Social Impact
We're a university grounded in the human services professions.
Founded in 1909 to educate teachers, we've long been known as a university leader for education. Today, undergraduate students come to Lesley to seek inventive answers to human problems. We educate the people—the teachers, counselors, therapists, social workers, artists, scientists, policymakers, writers, and business leaders—who change lives and affect social change.
We’re lucky to call Cambridge, Massachusetts home. It’s one of the most dynamic environments for students in the nation. In between and all around us is the Cambridge and Boston area—a vibrant hub of internships, professional opportunity, service work, culture, and fun few other cities can match.
