Your Educational Journey of Transformation

First-Year Studies

Few colleges have a first-year requirement like First-Year Studies, a one-term introduction to the liberal arts and sciences. You will be part of a powerful intellectual tradition as you grapple with works united by a common theme, from ancient plays and medieval paintings to current graphic novels and modern jazz albums.

Senior Experience

The culmination of your time at Lawrence is the Chandler Senior Experience, when you will create your own original work. Working one-on-one with a faculty member, you can design an independent project such as research, a field experience, an exhibition, or a performance. Grants are available, so dream big!

Career Communities

You will graduate from Lawrence connected to a global support network. Our Career Services team will work with you from your very first year at Lawrence to begin building your professional network! 

Residential Community

Lawrence is a residential university by design. We believe that the best environment for a liberal arts education is a small residential community with abundant opportunities for personal interaction outside of the classroom. Most of our students live in student housing on our beautiful river-front campus. 

Appleton, Wisconsin: A welcoming and safe home

Lawrence's picturesque campus is nestled on the banks of the Fox River. The greater Appleton area is big enough to find plenty of options that you will find in much larger cities but small enough to be safe and engaging without being overwhelming. Lawrence campus is walking distance from vibrant downtown Appleton!

Additionally, you can fly here! Lawrence is located 315 km north of Chicago, Illinois. Appleton's international airport (ATW), serving Delta, United, Allegiant, and American Airlines, is just 10 km from campus and offers direct flights to major U.S. cities such as New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, and more!

Conservatory of Music

Lawrence's Conservatory of Music is a vibrant community of musicians and scholars where students can choose from participating in 10 major ensembles, 5 world music ensembles, and dozens of chamber groups as a music major or as a non-music-major! The integration of our conservatory and liberal arts college is specifically designed to help students achieve their musical and academic dreams.

Athletics

Lawrence Athletics is comprised of 24 intercollegiate sports with experienced coaches and athletic trainers who support our student-athletes in and out of season. Our Division III varsity athletes compete at a high intercollegiate level while still fully engaging in academic and extracurricular opportunities like study abroad, internships, and student clubs.
