Your Educational Journey of Transformation
At Lawrence University, we believe that you have something great to offer the world, and we want to help support you through your own unique educational journey.
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!
