Welcome from the Dean

Margaret Wells, Dean of Purcell School of Professional Studies

Distinctiveness is what we are all about!  As one of America’s 28 Jesuit colleges and universities, we have the strength of a 450-year tradition of preparing educators and health care professionals at every level.  The Kathy '66 and John '65 Purcell School of Professional Studies (PSPS) at Le Moyne College exemplifies academic excellence, and provides its students with outstanding opportunity within the walls of the classroom and beyond. 

Whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student, the Purcell School of Professional Studies offers outstanding programs in Nursing, Education, Physician Assistant Studies, and Occupational Therapy.  The School also serves adult students and veterans through its Center for Continuing Education.

The faculty, staff, and I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your personal and professional goals. Please contact us if you have any questions about the programs offered through the Purcell School.

 Best Wishes,
