B R I L L I A N C E A W A I T S .
At Lawrence University, we speak of light often:
illumination, brilliance, lux.
You have something great to offer the world—
your own light.
And we will provide you with unparalleled
opportunities to shine more brilliantly.
We believe that the pursuit of truth and beauty
is not a competition. Discovery should never
feel cutthroat or exclusive or unattainable.
Lawrentians believe that creativity, ideas—
sparks of genius—are meant to be shared.
Dissected. Celebrated. Together.
We believe that the more intellectual explorers
and creators we can gather in one place, the better.
Even better? Pair them with a professor (or two)
and watch the light they each bring burn
even brighter.
Even better than that? Create an environment
and support system in which exploration is
encouraged and radical detours are welcome—
and where students who already know what
they want can blaze their trails faster.
That is why Lawrentians, who live in major
cities and small towns around the world,
succeed in meaningful careers and occupations,
brightening the world around them.

Thriving in their lives after Lawrence ... ... because they were educated broadly and deeply.Within six months of graduation, Lawrentians have found themselves ready for a
rapidly changing world. But success lasts well beyond that first postgraduate experience.
Lawrentians soon discover that their education prepared them to lead rich, interesting
and meaningful lives ... for the rest of their lives.
We reviewed the past few years’ worth of our graduates and connected what they studied
(the left side of the graph) with the fields they entered immediately after graduation (the
right side of the graph). Majors at Lawrence will prepare you to pursue many different paths.

enough to offer plenty of options that
you would find in much larger cities,
but small enough to be engaging
