Just a short distance from Boston, the university imbues its campus atmosphere with a blend of urban vibrancy and traditional collegiate serenity, housed amidst historic and contemporary architectural styles. Lesley offers both undergraduate and graduate programs, boasting a diverse range of innovative academic offerings that include their well-regarded programs in art therapy and creative writing. Known for a moderately selective admissions process, Lesley aims to maintain an accessible academic environment while fostering intellectual growth.
