Lesley University celebrates the art of teaching with Nov. 14 open house
During New Bedford’s AHA! night, Lesley University will advise students how they can earn bachelor’s and advanced education degrees — locally and affordably — at the DeMello International Center. Lesley University, which is one of the newest partners at the DeMello International Center, will advise prospective students how to pursue degrees in education — while staying close to home.
During the downtown’s Nov. 14 AHA! night, Lesley is hosting an open house with the theme of “Teachers and Leaders Made in New Bedford,” from 4 to 6 p.m. at the university’s New Bedford location in the DeMello International Center, 128 Union St.
The event, free and open to all, is Lesley’s way of celebrating the art of teaching, furnishing information, encouragement and support for people considering teaching as a career, as well as current educators contemplating a master’s degree or doctorate in educational leadership. Lesley’s open house will also provide information about programs for adult learners seeking to complete a bachelor’s degree right in New Bedford.
Staff will be on hand to discuss financing options, which include benefiting from the lowest cost-per-credit among four-year institutions in the area thanks to Lesley’s partnership with the DeMello International Center.
Among the event’s offerings, Lesley faculty will answer questions about the master’s degrees being offered in New Bedford, including:
• Special Education
• Specialist, Teacher of Reading
• Integrating Teaching through the Arts
Information will also be available about Lesley University’s Ph.D. program in Educational Leadership.
“Students can also hear about applying leadership skills to a Business Management degree, or about Lesley’s unique individually designed degree, which maximizes transfer credit and prior learning to create a custom program based on a student’s needs, interests and career goals,” said Jennifer Serowick, assistant vice president for adult learning.
