The world is filled with colleges that are filled with students who are bright, talented and engaging. (Lawrence is one of those colleges.)
But success at Lawrence—like success in life—demands something more. Hard work, drive, commitment, persistence—even a willingness to risk failure (yes, we just said “failure” in a college brochure)—is how real transformation happens and how lives are changed.
From Freshman Studies through your Senior Experience and everything in between, Lawrence University will challenge you to find your limits and help you push through, climb over, and watch those limits get smaller in your rearview mirror as you approach your next limits, ready to do it again because you’ve done it before.

the lawrenceway of learning
Our curriculum is entirely focused on undergraduate students. Place those students—bright and motivated—into small classrooms, labs and studios with professors who are master researchers, writers, scientists, artists, musicians, friends, and you will have a dynamic learning experience that will prepare you to thrive and succeed for the rest of your life.
W I T H M O R E F A C U LT Y M E M B E R S P E R S T U D E N T than nearly every college in the country, Lawrence offers high-impact,
collaborative classroom environments—92% of our classes have fewer
than 20 students in them. (And only 1% have more than 50.)

to help you dream big
Few colleges have a first-year requirement like
Freshman Studies, a two-term introduction to
the liberal arts and sciences that will teach you
how to think, write and speak like a Lawrentian.
From 11:10 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, you and your classmates
(divided into small classes of 14 to 15 each) will
explore with your professors about a dozen
compelling works from a common reading list
which changes every year—except for Plato’s
Republic, which has been on the list since
Freshman Studies started in 1945.
At the other end of your time at Lawrence
is your Chandler Senior Experience, a
graduation requirement, where you will
get to show the world what you have
learned through an original independent
project that you design to demonstrate
mastery of your favorite subject matter.
You may do so through a research project,
a seminar paper, a field experience, an
exhibition, a performance ... it’s your
choice, because it’s your passion. (Grants
are available to help you dream big.)

The academic year at Lawrence is divided into three terms of 10 weeks each. Three also happens to be the number of classes you’ll take each term. Your pace will be quick and your focus will be narrow, but it will also be deep. Lawrence’s academic year runs from September to June (with a six-week winter break that includes an optional December Term).
By the time they graduate, 9 out of 10 Lawrentians will have had at least one class—typically in their junior or senior years—where they partnered one-on-one with a professor for an entire term through independent study, research and honors projects, internships, studio lessons and Oxford-style tutorials.

Within six months of graduation, the past few classes of
Lawrence students have done very well. Not only do they enjoy
postgraduate success, they also enjoy some of the highest mid-
career salaries among national liberal arts college graduates.

Lawrence’s $340 million endowment, started when we were established in 1847, supports so many things—chief among them are the two essential components to the educational experience here: student financial aid and faculty resources. The endowment grows every year through the generosity of many, especially our alumni, who annually support their alma mater at a rate exceeded by few colleges in the country.
