What does a practical graduate education actually look like?
It means a curriculum built around the job you want, faculty who work in their fields, and support services that show up when you do — online, on campus, or both.
The whiteboards, the case files, the late emails
Our faculty are practitioners first. They bring active industry experience into every class, with the specifics that make theory stick.
Professor, Business Leadership
Dr. Sarah Velez
Twenty years in corporate strategy before the classroom. She still consults, so her case studies aren't hypothetical.
Director, Information Technology Programs
Professor James Okonkwo
Led engineering teams at two fintech firms. He teaches the systems he's actually built, from architecture to deployment.
Assistant Professor, Data Analytics
Dr. Maria Chen
Her research on predictive modeling won a national award. She brings the same rigor to every student project.
Lecturer, Marketing & Communications
Professor David Reyes
Ran campaigns for three national brands. Students leave his class with a portfolio that actually gets them interviews.
Adjunct Professor, Public Health
Dr. Linda Whitfield
A former state health director. Her office hours often turn into real-world problem-solving sessions.
Instructor, Finance & Economics
Professor Alexei Volkov
Spent twelve years as a portfolio manager. He teaches risk assessment like he lived it — because he did.
How lasell. works for the working professional
These students balanced full-time careers, family, and a graduate degree. They’ll tell you exactly how it went.
I was worried about fitting grad school into a full-time job and two kids. The six start dates meant I didn’t have to wait for fall to begin. I started in January and never looked back.
Mia Okonkwo
M.S. in Management, Class of 2025
My faculty advisor worked in the field before teaching it. Every case study in my curriculum came from something she actually consulted on. That practical lens made all the difference.
Daniel Reyes
M.S. in Accounting, Class of 2024
Career services helped me rework my resume and practice interviews, all online, on my schedule. I got a promotion before I even graduated.
Priya Sharma
M.S. in Healthcare Administration, Class of 2025
The blended format was perfect. I did lectures online during the week, then came to campus in Boston for Saturday workshops. I got the in-person connection without the commute grind.
James Walker
M.S. in Sport Management, Class of 2024
No GRE. No GMAT. I applied in a weekend and started three weeks later. That's the kind of simplicity that makes sense for a working adult.
Sophia Chen
M.Ed. in Elementary Education, Class of 2025
