Lesley University

What are the graduation rates for students at Lesley University?

Lesley's reported six-year graduation rate was 58% for the first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort measured in the 2024-25 reporting data. Its four-year rate was 43%. The difference shows that some students in the measured cohort completed after four years but within six.

These are cohort measures, not the percentage of all Lesley students who eventually earn a credential. Transfer students, part-time entrants, and many graduate students are not represented in the standard first-time, full-time bachelor's graduation measure. The reported first-year retention rate was 72%, a separate indicator tracking whether students returned for the following academic year.

Students comparing institutions should use the same cohort definition and time period. For an individual, course sequencing, transfer-credit application, and program-specific placement requirements may be more useful for estimating a realistic completion timeline.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Lesley University?

College Scorecard figures for Lesley show substantial variation in reported earnings one year after completion across fields of study. For example, reported median earnings were $47,186 for business administration and management, $33,544 for psychology, and $29,123 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods.

These are field-level, early-career measures for graduates whose earnings could be matched in the federal data - not salary offers, outcomes for every graduate, or predictions of what a future student will make. The timing is particularly important in fields where graduates pursue additional credentials or graduate study. Differences among programs may also reflect occupations, geography, further education, and the composition of the measured group.

Lesley's career support includes individual planning for undergraduates, résumé help, interview preparation, job-search resources, and alumni networking opportunities. Those services can help students explore options, but their availability should not be confused with a verified employment or earnings outcome.
