New Online Program - Management
Launches in Spring of 2009
B.S. in Management: Online Degree Completion 42 Credits

Lesley is excited to announce the launch of its new online degree completion program in Management beginning in January 2009. This program is designed to prepare students to successfully lead private, public, and not-for-profit organizations by learning skills critical to managing effectively and efficiently, while also developing the ability to provide ethical and creative leadership in any organization, whatever its size or purpose. The program addresses the challenges managers face in today's dynamic and multicultural workplace. Participants learn how to work and adapt to individual needs, while also promoting collaboration to achieve organizational goals.

Students will find interactive assignments and content taken from today's business pages, linking theory to practice. Competencies stressed include communication, innovative problem-solving, and the use of technology, as well as an understanding of the social and psychological factors that influence professional development and organizational success. As a wholly online program, classes are asynchronous, so time zones and personal schedules should not interfere with class participation. Participants become part of a community of learners sharing their experiences and expertise.

To earn a B.S. in Management degree students must earn a total of 120 credits - 42 of which are in the core management area. Students must be able to transfer a minimum of 30 college credits up to a maximum of 88 credits. The program will also offer students the opportunity to earn up to 48 college credits for life experience through a Prior Learning Assessment class and portfolio.
