The courses are not distinguished from on-campus courses on the transcript, and credits earned at an outreach site can be applied to the same degree on campus. With the exception of the accelerated, online, and select management programs, each three credit course is scheduled around two weekends, separated by two to four weeks, with students attending class on Friday evening and during the day on Saturday and Sunday.
Students register for a course two weeks prior to the first weekend of class.
Assignments, readings, and other activities are delivered to students prior to the class. Students are usually expected to complete assignments prior to the first class session, between the class sessions, and after the last session. Faculty are selected because of their competence in the content areas as well as their abilities to teach adults in non-traditional formats. Lesley guarantees that for each degree program all required courses will be offered at least one time, and sufficient elective courses will be offered for students to be able to complete the program. Unless a second group begins in the same program at a site, a course will not be repeated.
