Lesley College, 's Undergraduate college, is a place filled with possibilities. Students are attracted to the College by the promise of a unique education where academic challenge and personal growth are integrated, where theory is illuminated by experience, and where career is indistinguishable from social responsibility. At Lesley, our students share one thing in common: a passion for making a difference in the lives of others. Some may plan to have that impact through teaching, others through careers in human services or counseling, and others by working in not-for-profit organizations that serve the community. Still others, undecided about how they will impact the world, pursue their passions through history, environmental studies, or other liberal arts study. Whatever the choice of focus, fundamental to the undergraduate experience at Lesley is the integration of significant "hands on" internship experiences throughout all four years of study.
