Dual Degree Programs (with College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Students)
The dual degree programs with College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are developed for students who are interested in accelerating their educational experience. The programs combine the curriculum of the Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a minor in Psychology and the Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology or Clinical Mental Health Counseling. They are designed for students who demonstrate a high level of maturity and academic potential. Essentially an honors program, the integrated programs demand that students be able to achieve the academic rigor of graduate education by the time they reach their junior year of traditional undergraduate study.
The dual degree programs in Counseling Psychology and School Counseling specialization are designed to be completed in approximately five years. The dual degree programs in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (with or without a specialization) are designed to be completed in approximately six academic years.
(Descriptions of these dual degree programs can be found in the Lesley Undergraduate Catalog.)
