What comes to mind when you think about learning?
Classrooms and lectures? Note taking and reading?
Course requirements and test scores? While all are
important parts of quality education, there is much
more at Lasell College.
We complement traditional approaches with active
learning experiences. We are committed to the idea
of learning by doing through internships, service
learning, and challenging projects in and out of the
classroom. Here are just a few connected learning
examples:
Athletic training students care for injuries at the
Olympic Development Program for Youth Soccer,
the Bay State Games, and the Boston Marathon.
Justice studies students gain experience at the
U.S. Marshall's Office in Boston, Victim's Rights Law
Center, Boston Area Rape Crisis Center, Brandon
Residential Treatment Center, and various local
police headquarters and law offices.
Fashion design and production students might intern
at CranBarry Inc., makers of athletic uniforms and one
of only a few manufacturing sites in the country where
complete construction--from design to stitching--is
done on site.
Accounting students learn the ins and outs of our
complex tax system from the IRS and help disadvantaged
and elderly taxpayers complete their tax returns.
At the Center for Community Based Learning and the
Donahue Institute, students from all majors learn through
course-based service learning projects and implement
their own ideas.
