 Lasell College, founded in 1851, is an independent, coeducational, non-sectarian institution of higher education located eight miles from Boston in Newton, Massachusetts. The College offers over 30 baccalaureate programs in Business, Communication, Fashion and Design, Allied Health and Sports Studies, Teacher Education, Criminal Justice, and the Arts and Sciences. Lasell also offers Master of Science degrees in Management with seven concentrations in such areas as Elder Care Management and Marketing, Non-Profit Management, and Project Management.
Full-time enrollment at Lasell College has nearly doubled in the last six years with approximately 1,400 racially and ethnically diverse students, with 1,000 in residence. As a result, the College has focused aggressively on full-time faculty hiring. Future plans include additional masters degree programs and expanded undergraduate program offerings.
Lasell College emphasizes learning by doing, or what it calls "connected learning" in all professional and liberal arts programs. In 2000, Lasell College opened Lasell Village, the first life-care retirement community with a mandatory academic requirement each year. Intergenerational collaborations between residents and traditional aged Lasell students are a central focus, and Lasell Village has become a model being studied by academic institutions all over the world.
In response to the College's "connected learning" philosophy, successful applicants will demonstrate passion for a student-centered teaching environment and innovative, project-focused initiatives such as community service-learning. Productivity and currency in an academic discipline as well as commitment to college community involvement are priorities.
