Your investment of time, energy, and money into your college education returns much more than a degree. It provides you with a set of opportunities, friendships and experiences that will help shape your life. We encourage you to discover the value that a Lawrence education provides, and see why the average Lawrence student leaves with only a few thousand dollars more in student loans than the national average.
Lawrence adheres to a need-blind admission policy for domestic students, which means that you will be considered for admission to Lawrence on the merits of your abilities and accomplishments, not on your family's financial situation.*
The Value of the Lawrence Experience
Lawrence is committed to providing you with cutting-edge technology and superb facilities. You can see this commitment by the recent completion of a progressive campus contruction phase in which every academic building on campus was renovated or a new facility built. You will also find that we have constructed a new residence hall and are currently working on the new Richard and Margot Warch Campus Center.
You will benefit from small classes and the close attention of our faculty. All courses, including introductory courses, are taught by faculty members, not graduate assistants. You will work closely with professors who are active in their fields, but who first and foremost love teaching at the undergraduate level.
You will be exposed to the world, both on campus and on any of our many off-campus study programs. With a diverse student body representing nearly all 50 states and more than 50 countries, you will come into contact with different ideas, views, and cultures.
From your very first Freshman Studies class at Lawrence, you will see our commitment to educating you for life, not simply training you for a career. You will leave Lawrence prepared for a number of fields and a variety of occupations. You will be ready to handle innovations and new ideas in the workplace and in the world.
*Although a large amount of aid is made available to international students (those who are not US citizens or Permanent Residents), their financial resources are taken into consideration in the admission process, and aid is awarded differently than to domestic students.
