Lesley College

Lesley College

Lesley College is the undergraduate section, and founding institution of, Lesley University.

The college was founded in 1909 by Edith Lesley as The Lesley School, a woman's college which focused on early childhood education as a part of the international kindergarten movement established by Friedrich Wilhelm August Froebel. Both the college and the university are located at Cambridge in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. The Lesley School became Lesley College in 1944, received authority to award advanced degrees in 1953, and achieved regional accreditation in 1954. In 1998 Lesley College and The Art Institute of Boston merged. That merger, and the addition of additional graduate and undergraduate institutes and colleges, resulted in the emergence of Lesley University in 2001.

In 2005 Lesley College became co-educational. [http://chronicle.com/weekly/v50/i42/42a03401.htm]
