Lesley did well in our major quality rankings, too. It placed #6 on our “Best General Education Master’s Degree Schools in the New England Region” list.According to our most recent data, Lesley supports 4,200 students, and 55 of those are GI Bill® students, of which 28 are Post-9/11 GI Bill® recipients. The average Post-9/11 GI Bill® award for tuition and fees at the school was $12,419. In addition to receiving other benefits, 3 students qualified for the Yellow Ribbon Program.

Since the school has a undergrad student-to-faculty ratio of 9 to 1, those pursuing a degree will have more opportunities to interact with their professors. The low undergrad student loan default rate of [DEFAULT_RATE_STRING]% is a good sign that students have an easier time paying off their loans than they might at other schools. For comparison, the national default rate is 10.1%.
