The programs are offered on Lesley's campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is easily accessible by public transportation. Field Experience Field-based training in schools, community organizations and mental health settings is a vital component of the Counseling and Psychology Programs. These experiences offer a way for students to verify and challenge the theory acquired in the classroom as well as to examine their own role as a clinician. The Field Training Office works closely with several hundred placement sites to ensure diverse and personalized learning experiences that provide closely supervised opportunities to do counseling and consultative work with individuals, groups and families.
Students choose sites that fit their professional interests, their own schedules, and locations.
Most placements are contracted with schools and agencies on a volunteer basis. The Dual Degree programs are designed to be completed in five to six years. All rights reserved. See legal issues.
