Accelerated M.Ed. Programs

Lesley's accelerated master's degree programs in education offer undergraduate students in education and other select majors the opportunity to earn both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, many leading to a Massachusetts Initial or Professional teacher license, in as little as five years. Undergraduate students apply for acceptance into an accelerated master's degree program by early spring of their sophomore year, with a GPA of 3.3 or higher, and can complete 6 to 12 credits of graduate level coursework during their junior and senior years. Following conferral of the bachelor's degree, students enter into the master's degree component of the program.
