ABOUT LAWRENCE

Mission statement

Lawrence University of Wisconsin, through its undergraduate residential college and Conservatory of Music,

educates students in the liberal arts and sciences. The university is devoted to excellence and integrity in all of

its activities and committed to the development of intellect and talent, the pursuit of knowledge and

understanding, the cultivation of sound judgment, and respect for the perspectives of others. Lawrence

prepares students for lives of achievement, responsible and meaningful citizenship, lifelong learning, and

personal fulfillment. As a diverse learning community of scholars and artists, we actively foster a transformative

process that emphasizes engaged learning, supported by an environment of rich educational opportunities in a

residential campus setting.

Educational philosophy

Students enter Lawrence at a time when they are actively forging their identities and seeking their places in the

world. A Lawrence education is therefore transformative: We strive to help each student develop as a liberally

educated person who can think deeply and creatively about ideas, gather and analyze evidence, communicate

effectively, and articulate a personal identity that leads to thoughtful life choices. This transformation is

supported by a learning community that immerses students in the breadth of human experience, engages ideas

in a spirit of open discourse, values the uniqueness of the individual, and celebrates accomplishment. The

foundation for this learning community is a vibrant, safe, and healthful residential campus that contains talented

and diverse groups of students, faculty, administrators, and staff. Our residential experience is enhanced by

opportunities to study abroad and to become involved in the wider community. The university values effective

teaching combined with distinguished scholarship and creative activity.

We see in each student the potential to become an informed, independent thinker and concerned, responsible

citizen. Lawrence students can personalize their learning through interactions with peers, professors, and staff

in a wide variety of settings, both formal and informal. The process begins with our

Freshman Studies

program, continues through the sophomore and junior years, and ends with the

Senior Experience.

Statements on inclusion and non-discrimination

The Faculty of Lawrence University reaffirms its commitment to fostering a diverse and welcoming learning

community that embraces all members, including those marginalized by aspects of their identities. The

Page 4 of 717

principles of respect and inclusion are critical to our mission as an educational institution dedicated to

cultivating dialogue across differences and to the development of meaningful citizenship that will meet the

challenges of a complex world.

Lawrence University is committed to providing equal access and opportunity to qualified individuals of all

backgrounds. In accordance with this policy and with applicable federal and state law, the University prohibits

discrimination in admissions, its programs and activities, employment and advancement on the basis of race,

color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression,

marital status, pregnancy, genetic information, disability, military service, protected veteran status, political

affiliation, arrest record or conviction record. Retaliation against an individual for filing a discrimination

complaint or for participating in a complaint investigation violates this policy and may constitute a form of illegal

discrimination. University policy also prohibits harassment of individuals on any of the bases listed above. An

act based on an individual's status as listed above may violate this policy and warrant University discipline even

if the act does not rise to the level of unlawful discrimination, retaliation or harassment.

To request information or assistance or to file a complaint for violations of this policy, contact the Vice President

for Diversity and Inclusion and Associate Dean of the Faculty, 2nd Floor Sampson House, at 920-832-7451.

Lawrence in the community

Lawrence is part of an intellectual and creative community that includes Appleton and the Fox Valley,

Lawrence's alumni, and the larger global community. We are committed to providing service to and learning

from the larger community. Through such resources as Björklunden, the Academy of Music, and the Center for

Community Engagement and Social Change, Lawrence contributes to the vitality of the surrounding community

by:

making available programs of cultural enrichment;

placing students in the community as volunteers, interns, musicians, and tutors;

drawing on the knowledge and experience of members of the community to explore significant issues;

certifying public school teachers in the state of Wisconsin; and

providing opportunities for alumni to stay connected to Lawrence and each other while encouraging their

lifelong interest in learning.

Accreditation

Lawrence University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, and the Conservatory of Music is a

member in good standing of the National Association of Schools of Music.

THE LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION

Liberal Learning

Liberal education is transformative education. It transforms individuals with intellectual and creative potential

into persons ready for lives of accomplishment and fulfillment. Through liberal learning, students develop their

intellect, capacity for creativity, and self-direction. Liberal learning is based on principles of open and free

inquiry, a devotion to excellence, and engagement with exciting and interesting fields of knowledge. Liberal

learning aims to develop analytical thinking abilities, communication skills, quantitative reasoning, and

creativity. It is creativity—the capacity to create what did not exist before—that helps set us free and makes

liberal education a

liberating education.

Liberal learning frees us from the restraints of time and place, enabling us to grow, to change, and to respond

to the new, the unforeseen, the unexpected. To be liberally educated is to live imaginatively in worlds not our

own and to examine values not of our making.

A liberal education tests our ability to investigate and understand the nature of an organism, the applications of

a theorem, the behavior of a crowd, the principles of a political system, the meaning of a poem, the causes of

an event, the consequences of an argument, or the composition of a symphony.

Liberal education promotes diversity, skepticism, and debate. It views the world as changing, not fixed. It asks

not only what, but why. It insists that we make judgments rather than have opinions; that we treat ideas

seriously, not casually; that we be committed instead of indifferent.

Above all, however, a liberal education enables us to be self-directed—to choose for ourselves what we want to

be and what we want to create. Lawrence students use their education for many careers—law, public service,

health professions, business, teaching, science creative writing, theatre, the social sciences, and art. The

liberal education that Lawrence provides is a solid foundation for all of these careers—and many more. We

help you learn how to learn things you have not experienced before and create what is new, and these abilities

will help you in anything you choose to do in life.

What Makes Lawrence Special?

Lawrence University places a priority on preparing students for a life of personal fulfillment and professional

accomplishment and a lifetime of learning. It is the job of all Lawrentians to learn by availing themselves of

those things that are truly unique to Lawrence.

Page 7 of 717

Engaged Learning

Engaged Learning is that which characterizes a Lawrence education and distinguishes Lawrentians. Although

students may have encountered engaged learning experiences elsewhere, at Lawrence it is the foremost

attribute of every subject and every class we offer. By actively engaging in challenging and meaningful learning

experiences with faculty and with one another, students will be prepared to adapt and succeed in an ever-

changing world. Those who prefer to passively absorb information passed from teacher to student will find

Lawrence to be a poor fit. Those who prefer instead to explore, debate, create, research, practice and perform

in collaboration with others—to be an active participant in the learning experience—will find Lawrence to be an

exhilarating community in which to live and thrive.

Freshman Studies

From the moment they arrive at Lawrence, new students have something in common with every other new

student on campus:

Freshman Studies. The cornerstone of the Lawrence curriculum for more than sixty years,

each

Freshman Studies class consists of no more than 15 students who explore a multidisciplinary list of

books, musical works, art, and films in discussions facilitated by a professor. Students are asked not to

summarize or memorize, but to think deeply and critically about each topic. The

Freshman Studies course is

required of all incoming students and establishes the expectation for all other classes to come, regardless of

discipline. Those expectations include advanced preparation, critical thinking, active class participation, and

disciplined writing. The fact that all freshmen simultaneously work through the same syllabus ensures that all

new students share the excitement of liberal learning and that discussions continue well beyond the

classroom.

Björklunden

Each year, more than a thousand Lawrence students flock to the sanctuary and serenity of Björklunden, a 425-

acre estate on the shore of Lake Michigan that serves as Lawrence’s “northern campus.” A place where

students are encouraged to leave old assumptions behind and barriers are removed in order for students and

faculty to learn from each other, Björklunden’s natural setting is the perfect backdrop for engaged learning

opportunities.

Community Engagement

Page 8 of 717

Keenly interested in their local and global communities, the active citizens at Lawrence reach beyond

volunteerism when it’s intertwined with education. Lawrence believes community engagement is an essential

ingredient in a liberal arts education and an opportunity for students to connect learning in the classroom,

studio, and laboratory with real-world experiences in Appleton, the Fox Cities, and around the world.

Multi-interested

Typical is not a word one associates with Lawrentians. However, one characteristic is typical of most students

arriving at Lawrence: their wide variety of interests. The Lawrence curriculum is well-suited to such students

because it encourages the exploration and development of several interests, rather than focusing on just one.

Lawrence’s undergraduate liberal arts college is uniquely and fully integrated with a nationally renowned

conservatory of music, a place where gifted musicians might be inspired to tackle physics and math majors

may learn to sing arias. Athletics are also seen as part of the educational experience as a complement to, and

enhancement of, a well-rounded liberal arts education. Lawrence takes pride in its scholar-athlete tradition.

A Residential Community

Lawrence is by design a residential college. All students live on campus because we believe that a small

residential community with abundant opportunities for personal interaction outside the classroom provides the

proper environment for a liberal arts education. Juniors can learn from freshmen, science majors from art

majors, and student athletes from student musicians. Located near downtown Appleton on the banks of the Fox

River, the Lawrence campus has become the cultural and intellectual heart of a vibrant, modern Midwestern

city.

At the core of everything we do is a deep commitment to our mission to educate young adults in the liberal arts

and sciences: developing intellect, talent, knowledge, and understanding; cultivating judgment and values; and

preparing students for lives of service, achievement, leadership, personal fulfillment, and lifelong learning.

Academic Freedom Statement

Lawrence University, a liberal arts college and conservatory of music, is dedicated to the development of

intellect and talent, the pursuit of knowledge and understanding, and the cultivation of critical literacy and sound

judgment. To that end, members of the Lawrence community are free to engage in, speak on, and write about

Page 9 of 717

scholarly research and creative activity without fear of censorship or retaliation. In the classroom, laboratory,

and studio, teachers must be free to teach and students free to learn; we must be free to challenge each

other’s beliefs, to explore new ideas and critically examine old ones, and to listen to others without disruption.

Knowledge, skill, understanding, and creative expression are acquired through interactions that are often

complex and even controversial. Although these interactions may at times cause discomfort, they may not be

obstructed. Intellectually honest and vibrant communities engage in complex interactions and the ability, hereby

protected, to exchange ideas in a spirit of mutual respect is essential to our educational mission.

Lawrence University faculty, as well as invited speakers and performers, may express their views publicly.

However, the University may restrict speech that is defamatory of character, harassing, or infringes a protected

right to privacy or confidentiality.

STRUCTURE OF THE CURRICULUM

The structure of the Lawrence curriculum

The curriculum of the university is structured in three parts. For the Bachelor of Arts degree, students take

about one-third of their coursework in general education, another third in their major course of study, and a final

third in elective areas of study. Bachelor of Music students take about one-third of their courses in general

education and the remaining two-thirds in music-related study. All courses of study begin with

Freshman

Studies

and culminate in a Senior Experience.

Divisions within the university

Lawrence University has organized its academic departments into divisions referenced in the degree

requirements. The divisions are as follows:

Humanities: Chinese and Japanese, Classics, English, French and Francophone Studies, German,

History, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Russian, and Spanish.

Natural sciences: Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Geology (Geosciences), Mathematics and Computer

Science, and Physics.

Social sciences: Anthropology, Economics, Education Studies, Government, and Psychology.

Fine arts: Art and Art History, Music, and Theatre Arts.

Interdisciplinary programs, which include Biomedical Ethics, Cognitive Science, East Asian Studies,

Environmental Studies, Ethnic Studies, Film Studies, Gender Studies, Global Studies, Innovation &

Entrepreneurship, Latin American Studies, Linguistics, Museum Studies, and Neuroscience, are non-divisional.

University courses are offered outside the auspices of any specific department or program. Non-divisional and

university courses may be assigned divisional affiliations when appropriate.

Freshman Studies

Entering students are enrolled in

Freshman Studies, a two-course sequence specifically designed to acquaint

students with the modes of inquiry characteristic of intellectual discourse at Lawrence and to improve their

reading, writing, and speaking skills. The program does more than develop these basic academic skills,

however. While studying distinctive works suggested by all academic divisions, students engage in critical

analysis and discussion of important ideas that are timelessly relevant.

Freshman Studies is both an

Page 11 of 717

introduction to the liberal arts and a foundation for a Lawrence education.

Transfer students may have one or both terms of

Freshman Studies waived based on the amount and nature of

the credit accepted from other colleges and universities towards Lawrence degrees.

General education requirements

General education ensures that Lawrence students gain familiarity with different academic disciplines and the

modes of thought and expression appropriate to each, that they develop an understanding of global and

domestic diversity and their impact on contemporary life, and that they develop competencies in

writing/speaking, quantitative reasoning, and world languages.

ISTRIBUTION

The purpose of the distribution requirement is to ensure that students graduating from Lawrence experience the

breadth of study central to a liberal arts education. For that reason, students are required to take at least one

course in each division: humanities, natural sciences (with laboratory), social sciences, and fine arts (see

"Divisions within the university"). This requirement cannot be satisfied with examination credit (AP, IB, or A-

levels).

Humanities:

In the humanities, students learn to engage in close readings of literary, cultural, historical,

religious, or philosophical works and provide critical comments on those works. They also learn to place works

in their historical, cultural, and/or literary contexts.

Natural sciences (with laboratory):

In the natural sciences, students learn to use their understanding of a

scientific concept to interpret a natural phenomenon and to draw reasonable conclusions from scientific data.

Social sciences:

In the social sciences, students learn to define significant questions within the fields of

anthropology, economics, education, government, or psychology and to explain how one would seek to answer

those questions using methods from one or more of those fields.

Fine arts:

In the fine arts, students learn to recognize and describe the concepts and/or methods involved in

creating a piece of visual art, music, or theatre. They also learn to recognize and describe forms of artistic

expression in their historical and cultural contexts and to create or interpret visual art, music, or theatre using

methods introduced or practiced in the classroom or studio.

IVERSITY

The purpose of the diversity requirements is to prepare students for an increasingly diverse American society

and an increasingly interconnected world. Diversity requirements call for at least one course focusing on an

area outside Europe and the United States or on a global perspective on a contemporary issue (courses listed

Page 12 of 717

with a “G” designation in the class schedule) and one course exploring dimensions of diversity that affect

contemporary American society (courses listed with a “D” designation in the class schedule).

Global diversity:

In global diversity (G) courses, students learn to describe important aspects of the political,

economic, social, or cultural context of at least one region of the world outside Europe and the United States or,

alternatively, to articulate a global and/or comparative perspective on a contemporary issue.

Dimensions of diversity:

In dimensions of diversity (D) courses, students learn to discuss critically at least one

dimension of diversity (such as race, ethnicity, gender, or sexuality) that is of importance in understanding

contemporary society and to demonstrate an awareness of how diversity influences social life.

OMPETENCY

Competency requirements improve fundamental skills central to a liberal arts education and include courses

designated as writing intensive (W) or speaking intensive (S), as emphasizing quantitative reasoning (Q), and

as leading toward proficiency in a language other than English (at the 200 level or above). Alternative ways to

satisfy the language proficiency requirement are described under Academic Procedures and Regulations.

Writing intensive & speaking intensive:

In writing-intensive (W) and speaking-intensive (S) courses, students

learn to articulate a coherent thesis and supporting argument, to incorporate feedback and revision into the

writing or speaking process to improve critical thinking, and to demonstrate awareness of the conventions and

traditions of the discipline in which the work is undertaken.

Quantitative reasoning:

In quantitative reasoning (Q) courses, students learn to apply quantitative techniques

(mathematical, graphical, algebraic, or statistical), algorithmic methods, or formal logical analysis to solve

defined problems or bodies of problems.

Language proficiency:

In modern language courses that satisfy the language proficiency requirement, students

learn to listen, speak, read, and write at the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL)

intermediate-mid level for French, German, Italian, or Spanish or intermediate-low level for Arabic, Chinese,

Japanese, or Russian. In classical language courses that satisfy the requirement, students learn to read and

comprehend extended passages in Latin or Ancient Greek. In all language courses, students express, interpret,

and negotiate meaning in the target language using linguistic, social, and historical knowledge about the target

culture(s) and people(s).

Majors

Liberal learning calls for depth as well as breadth of knowledge. The academic major gives students the

opportunity to master a subject while providing the challenge and pleasure of learning something thoroughly.

Students can choose to major in the academic area that best suits their interests or design their own major (see

Student-initiated Courses and Programs). Students pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree also select an area of

emphasis for the major in performance, music education, or theory/composition (see Conservatory of Music).

Page 13 of 717

All major programs share a commitment to increasing knowledge and methodological sophistication in a

specific area of study, and every major includes a

Senior Experience (see below) as a capstone requirement.

The learning goals and requirements for majors are described under Areas of Study in the catalog.

Elective areas of study

Many students supplement the major with focused study in a minor or interdisciplinary area; certification to

teach in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade education; preparation for professional study in business, law, or

health careers; or one or more terms of off-campus study. Students can also choose courses that emphasize

community-based learning, incorporate travel in the U.S. or abroad, or deal with subjects beyond the purview of

one department, and they can initiate their own courses under the guidance of a Lawrence faculty member.

INORS AND INTERDISCIPLINARY AREAS

Minors provide an opportunity for students to do focused work in a field outside the major. Some students will

combine majors and minors in closely related fields—biology and chemistry, for instance, or English and history

—while others will use minors to explore subjects very different from their major areas of study. Minors are

offered by almost all curricular departments of the university.

Interdisciplinary areas allow students to cross departmental or disciplinary boundaries and address issues from

several perspectives. Those students who satisfy the requirements of an interdisciplinary area may have the

area listed on their transcripts along with their declared majors.

Majors, minors, and interdisciplinary areas are listed alphabetically under Areas of Study.

EACHER CERTIFICATION

Lawrence offers certification at the elementary level (with any major), at the secondary level in most subjects

(with a major in the subject area and a major or minor for any additional area) and at the elementary and

secondary level (preK–12) in music, art, world languages, and English as a second language. Students may

student-teach during the senior year or in a 13th term (without normal tuition charges) in the fall after

graduation. Those interested in teacher certification should consult with the education department faculty at

their earliest opportunity.

RE-PROFESSIONAL STUDY

Students who plan to attend professional school in business, law, or health-related professions can receive

guidance on the selection of courses and pursuit of internships to prepare for professional study. See the

information under "postgraduate options" in Academic Planning.

Page 14 of 717

CAMPUS

PROGRAMS

Lawrence University encourages students to extend their programs of study by participating in the challenging

educational and cultural experiences offered through our portfolio of off-campus programs. Lawrence operates

two programs of its own, the London Centre and the Francophone Seminar in Senegal, and offers programs

operated by other organizations such as the Associated Colleges of the Midwest (ACM) and the Institute for the

International Education of Students (IES). These programs have been evaluated by the faculty and approved

for Lawrence affiliation.

It is best to plan ahead for off-campus study when considering options for majors and minors. Interested

students should make an appointment with the director of off-campus programs as early as the freshman year

to explore the range of possibilities for including off-campus study in their degree program.

OMMUNITY-BASED LEARNING COURSES

Community-based learning (CBL) is one of the diverse pedagogies used to promote student academic

achievement at Lawrence. The emphasis in CBL courses is on promoting the intellectual and character

development of students, as described in our mission statement, through interaction with off-campus

communities. Regularly scheduled courses, tutorials, independent studies, academic internships, and research-

or performance-based courses may qualify as community-based learning courses. CBL courses may be

located nearby in the Fox Valley or at more distant sites such as London or Chicago.

In CBL courses, experiences in or with an off-campus community are deeply integrated with classroom

learning, course assignments, and learning outcomes. These experiences involve significant participation in a

community or interaction with community issues, concerns, or needs. Strictly observational field trips or field

trips to other institutions with educational missions such as museums, botanical gardens, or zoos are not

sufficient to identify a course as CBL.

RAVEL COURSES

Some courses include travel to remote destinations for on-site learning, research, and engagement with local

peoples, cultures, and historic sites. These may be regular term courses that include travel during winter or

spring break or December Term courses that take place at another location. Travel courses charge a program

fee for travel expenses and have the same eligibility requirements as off-campus programs.

NIVERSITY COURSES

University courses (listed with the prefix UNIC) deal with subjects of interest and importance that are outside

the purview of any given department. These include courses in additional languages, academic skills, or

personal development, as well as interdisciplinary courses on contemporary concerns that cross traditional

academic boundaries. Students from all disciplines may enroll in university courses.

TUDENT-INITIATED COURSES

Student-initiated options for study are a long-standing feature of the Lawrence curriculum. Most often, students

Page 15 of 717

elect tutorials or independent study in order to pursue topics of interest in depth. Additional opportunities for

individualized learning include academic internships, directed study, and writing for credit. Non-music majors

may request private music lessons by audition or interview and with an additional fee. For more information,

see the section on Student-initiated Courses and Programs.

Senior Experience

is the culmination of a Lawrence education, a way for students to integrate knowledge and

skills developed through years of study, demonstrate proficiency in their major fields, and develop scholarly or

artistic independence. Every graduating senior produces something significant — an independent or

collaborative project, major seminar paper, portfolio, performance, or exhibition — to satisfy criteria for the

major set by faculty of that department or program. The

Senior Experience is thus unique to each student yet

universal to students across the university.

Every major listed under Areas of Study includes a description of how students can satisfy the

Senior

Experience

requirement for that department or program. Juniors should discuss with their academic advisors

how they plan to fulfill the requirement for graduation. Students pursuing studies in more than one area can

propose a

Senior Experience that integrates two majors or incorporates student teaching, and the proposal

must be approved by both departments or programs as satisfying the requirement. Students pursuing projects

that are ambitious or distinctive should check the

Senior Experience web page for possible sources of funding.

Senior Experience

titles appear in the Commencement program. Graduating seniors are asked to submit their

titles as part of the graduation application process.

Page 16 of 717

ACADEMIC PLANNING

Preparing for academic success

Students must plan ahead if they are to meet the goals of a liberal arts education. The first step toward

planning is to become aware of the range of Lawrence’s curricular offerings and programs. The Course Catalog

contains this information, and students should become thoroughly familiar with it. Students should discuss their

academic plans regularly with their faculty advisors and, as needed, with advisors of other programs in which

they have an interest. As they pursue their studies, students should seek additional guidance from academic

support staff in Mudd Library, the Center for Academic Success, and the Center for Career, Life and

Community Engagement.

Faculty advisors

Upon entering Lawrence, each student is assigned a faculty advisor to give advice and perspective on

developing an educational program. Students who build strong relationships with their advisors will benefit most

from a Lawrence education. If necessary, students may change or add advisors as they develop a close

working relationship with another faculty member.

Students should have an advisor in their major field of study by the spring term of their sophomore year when

they register for their junior courses. The major advisor will help them plan their coursework to satisfy

requirements for the major, select courses in other areas to complement the major or satisfy personal interests,

and prepare for their

Senior Experience. The major advisor will also certify completion of major requirements

when the student applies for graduation.

Students must have an advisor for every major. Students do not need an official advisor for a minor,

interdisciplinary area, or teacher certification and are encouraged to consult with the chair or faculty in those

departments or programs for advice on course selection and how to satisfy requirements.

Planning a course of study

In the first year of study, freshmen typically enroll in seven courses (two in fall, two in winter, and three in

spring) in addition to the two-term

Freshman Studies sequence. Freshmen should take courses that will help

them plan their next three years of study: exploring possible majors and areas of interest while also trying new

subjects. Students interested in math, computer science, or natural sciences should take a math sequence the

Page 17 of 717

first year, while students interested in the humanities, social sciences, or arts should consider a language

sequence. Students should also balance different types of courses each term, with no more than one lab

course or intensive reading/writing course at a time. Bachelor of Music students have fewer choices in the first

year since they must also take music theory and private lessons. Some majors and pre-professional programs

require that specific course sequences be started in the freshman year. And students may want to look ahead

to off-campus programs and learn when these programs are offered and what, if any, coursework is required to

participate in them.

In the second year of study, sophomores continue to sample a variety of disciplines and satisfy general

education requirements as they work toward declaring a major and finding an advisor in their major department

who can help them plan their final two years of study. At this point, students might begin to pursue a second

major, a minor or interdisciplinary area, or teacher certification. Finally, the sophomore year is an excellent time

to plan for off-campus study (often undertaken in the junior year), to explore possible internships or summer

research that places learning in context, and to begin considering postgraduate options such as graduate

study, professional study, or the start of a career.

In the third and fourth years of study, juniors and seniors complete coursework for the major and any minors,

interdisciplinary areas, or teacher certification. They may pursue experiential learning through off-campus

study, internships, or summer research. All students plan and carry out a

Senior Experience to integrate what

they have learned in their Lawrence education.

While planning is essential, it need not be rigid. Interests that students express on arrival at Lawrence often

change as a result of exposure to new and different areas of study. This is why students are encouraged to

explore the curriculum during the first year of study and need not declare a major until later in the sophomore

year.

Course numbering

Lawrence courses are numbered at four different levels: introductory (100-199), foundation/gateway (200-399),

advanced (400-599), and capstone (600-699). Freshmen select courses mostly at the introductory level, though

some foundation/gateway courses can be taken without prerequisites or with advanced placement credit. Some

departments make further distinctions within these levels, which are described under the Areas of Study.

Introductory courses (100–199):

Introductory courses generally do not require prior study unless they are part

of a sequence, such as introductory language or mathematics courses. This level includes courses introducing

students to the discipline as well as any topical courses aimed at non-majors.

Foundation/gateway courses (200–399): Foundation/gateway courses represent the second tier of work in each

discipline and might include methods courses and introductions to sub-disciplines. Typically these courses are

not appropriate for entering freshmen, but in some departments they might be appropriate for continuing

students with no prior experience in the subject.

Page 18 of 717

Advanced courses (400–599): Advanced courses include seminar series, special-topics courses and advanced

work in sub-disciplines. Students enrolling in advanced courses are expected to understand the basic

methodology of the discipline.

Capstone courses (600–699):

Capstone courses include the culminating work in a discipline that is typically

part of a

Senior Experience. They are not appropriate for students who are neither majors nor minors in the

discipline.

It is the responsibility of the student to satisfy any prerequisites listed for specific courses. Faculty members

may refuse to admit any student who has not satisfied listed prerequisites.

Course credit

A standard course at Lawrence is valued at 6 units. A normal course load for a term is three standard courses

(18 units). A student must take 15 or more units for full-time student status and may take up to 22 units (plus

music ensembles) without additional fees. A total of 36 standard courses (216 units) is required for a Lawrence

degree.

Some courses are valued at fewer than 6 units. December Term courses are all 3 units. Academic support

courses (academic success, academic English for speakers of other languages, topics in precalculus, etc.) are

typically also 3 units. Music ensembles are valued at 1 unit per term.

For more information about course loads and how to translate Lawrence units into semester or quarter hours,

see Academic Procedures and Regulations.

Postgraduate considerations

AREER PLANNING

The Center for Career, Life and Community Engagement offers a wide range of services to all Lawrentians—

undergraduates and graduates alike. These include individual career counseling to assist in identifying career

interests and skills as well as assistance in developing internships and summer employment. The Center for

Career, Life and Community Engagement participates in job and internship fairs and on-campus and off-

campus recruiting opportunities. The department offers workshops and seminars to increase career awareness

and to improve job-search skills. It also collects and publicizes information on specific job and internship

opportunities. Students are urged to attend Center for Career, Life and Community Engagement events as

early as the freshman year to begin developing career plans and internship opportunities.

Page 19 of 717

RADUATE

STUDY

Students can discuss options for postgraduate study with any faculty member. In addition, students interested

in graduate and professional schools will find a variety of valuable resources in the Center for Career, Life and

Community Engagement. Students can research information on specific schools and programs, on graduate

and professional school entrance examinations, and on financial aid.

ROFESSIONAL STUDY

Lawrence strongly believes that liberal education—with its emphasis on skills of analysis and communication,

on breadth of knowledge, and on the ability to pursue knowledge of one area in depth—affords the best

preparation for rigorous professional study. Since these attributes of liberal education can be developed and

nurtured regardless of a student’s area of concentration, in most cases Lawrence does not prescribe fixed

courses of study for students with pre-professional interests.

At the same time, we recognize that some professional programs and schools require specific preparation at

the undergraduate level. Students should consult with the Coordinator for Pre-Professional Advising and Major

Fellowships, who will arrange for them to meet with a faculty advisor and guide them through the process of

preparing for and applying for professional study.

Pre-Business

Advisor: Adam Galambos

Students who plan to undertake postgraduate study in business—in most cases a program leading to a

master’s degree in business administration—normally are advised to supplement the major of their choice and

the university’s General Education Requirements with coursework in mathematics, as well as statistics,

economics and computer science. In addition, they should pay particular attention to the development of writing

skills.

Pre-Law

Advisory Committee: David Gerard (chair), Minoo Adenwalla, Andrea Guenther-Pal, Jerry Podair

Legal studies require strong analytic skills, a knowledge of society and the ability to communicate effectively.

Students planning to attend law school normally are advised to supplement the major of their choice and the

university’s General Education Requirements with some coursework in philosophy and the theoretical and

analytic aspects of their field of concentration, as well as coursework in the social sciences.

Health Careers

Advisory Committee: Elizabeth De Stasio (chair), Matt Ansfield, Stefan Debbert, Elizabeth De Stasio, Doug

Martin, Nancy Wall

The Health Careers Advisory Committee works closely with students as they apply to medical schools and

Page 20 of 717

other programs to prepare for health science and allied health careers. It provides guidance in the selection of

schools, in developing applications, in the preparation for interviews and in planning for medical school

admissions testing.

Students who plan to attend medical school may concentrate in the field or fields of their greatest interest.

Medical schools do, however, require considerable work in the natural sciences, including biology, chemistry

and physics, as well as a writing course in the humanities. Members of the Health Careers Advisory Committee

are available to help students select courses that will meet the requirements of medical schools and at the

same time provide a broad liberal education.

Lawrence offers a number of programs designed to familiarize students with the nature of medical education

and practice. These programs include workshops, discussions with local physicians and opportunities to

observe, under the supervision of local practitioners, various aspects of the medical profession. The college

also sponsors Mielke and Kasel Summer Internship Grants. The former provides opportunities to study medical

problems in the Fox Valley, and the latter offers internships in biomedical ethics, health economics and medical

humanities.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

Residence Requirements

To qualify for a Lawrence University B.A. or B.Mus. degree, students are required to have a minimum of six

terms in residence and earn 108 units (Lawrence foreign study programs, Associated Colleges of the Midwest

programs, and other special arrangements under Lawrence sponsorship included). Nine terms in residence and

162 units are required for the five-year B.A. and B.Mus. double-degree program.

Students must be in residence on the Appleton campus until they have completed the

Freshman Studies

requirement.

The last three terms of work and a minimum of 54 units submitted for the graduation requirements must be

done in residence unless a department (or departments, or advisory committee, where appropriate) previously

has certified completion of the requirements for a major. This requirement, or one of its parts, may be waived

by the admissions office in the case of incoming transfer students or by the Faculty Subcommittee on

Administration in any other cases.

December Term is not counted as part of the residence requirement for a Lawrence degree.

Bachelor of Arts Degree

Students seeking the Bachelor of Arts degree will complete approximately one-third of their work in each of

three areas:

Freshman Studies and general education, a major, and elective study. The Freshman Studies and

general education requirements are designed to promote the breadth of study central to a liberal arts education,

perspective on issues critical to a diverse America and an interconnected world, and the development of skills

essential for success in any discipline or profession. The completion of a major provides focused, in-depth work

in a single discipline. Elective study affords students opportunities to develop secondary interests, work in

areas complementary to their primary discipline, or explore new fields of study.

EQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE

1. Completion of 216 units. Of the 216 units required for the degree, a student must present:

a. a minimum of 72 units from courses numbered 200 or above

A single course may be used to satisfy both requirement a. (writing intensive) and b. (international diversity)

above. Credits granted pursuant to university policy for advanced placement or for transfer work may be used

to fulfill general education requirement (see also

Evaluation of Credit for Transfer Students).

Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Music Degree

Professional study in music and study in the liberal arts may be combined in a five-year program leading to

both Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Arts degrees, the latter with a major other than music. Both degrees

are awarded at the conclusion of the five-year program. Interested students should discuss this possibility with

Page 25 of 717

their advisors as early as possible.

Approximately half of the curriculum is devoted to the study of music—completion of the music core and

requirements for a major in performance, music education, or theory/composition. The other half of the

curriculum mirrors that of the Bachelor of Arts program, emphasizing breadth of study central to a liberal arts

education, focused study in the college major, and elective study to complement other work or explore other

fields of interest.

Certain majors in the Bachelor of Arts degree program (for example, some laboratory sciences) may be difficult

to combine with the Bachelor of Music degree program into a five-year double-degree program, especially if the

student’s objective is to maintain serious options for graduate or professional work in both areas after

graduation. Such combinations may require that course overloads be taken to complete minimum requirements

in each major in a timely and satisfactory manner. Early and regular consultation with advisors in both the

college and the conservatory is imperative. Further, students who seek certification for purposes of teaching a

subject other than music are urged to see the associate dean of the conservatory and the director of teacher

education.

In addition to

academic policies and regulations, students in the conservatory are subject to policies and

procedures detailed in conservatory department guidelines and the

conservatory student handbook.

EQUIREMENTS FOR THE FIVE-YEAR BACHELOR OF ARTS/BACHELOR OF MUSIC DEGREES

1. Completion of a minimum of 15 terms of study and 270 units. December Term does not count as a term

COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS

A liberal arts education provides excellent preparation for careers in a variety of professions. For this reason,

several professional schools have contracted with Lawrence for cooperative programs that enable students to

build a foundation in the liberal arts and then acquire specific professional skills. These programs lead, in most

cases, to the awarding of two degrees.

The Lawrence cooperative programs listed below generally provide for students to study at Lawrence for three

years and then transfer to a professional school for two more years. To qualify for a Lawrence degree in these

programs, students must earn 162 units and fulfill all other degree requirements that cannot be met in the

professional school. Students must undertake careful planning with the professional advisors and with their own

faculty advisors to make sure all requirements will be completed satisfactorily.

Students who earn 162 units at Lawrence and successfully complete the first year of study in professional

school may participate in the Lawrence Commencement with their matriculation class.

Engineering

Program advisor:

Jeff Collett

Students wishing to combine a liberal arts program with professional training in engineering or computer

science may want to choose the 3-2 program in engineering, which involves three years of study at Lawrence

University and two years of study at an engineering school. Lawrence has formal affiliations with Columbia

University (New York, New York), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, New York), and Washington

University (St. Louis, Missouri), but students may transfer to any accredited engineering school with the

agreement of the chosen institution. Upon satisfactory completion of the five-year program, these students will

receive the Bachelor of Arts degree from Lawrence as well as a Bachelor of Engineering degree from the

professional school they have attended. To prepare for the transfer to an engineering school, students must

include among their courses basic mathematics (normally MATH 140, 150, 160, and 210), computer science

(CMSC 110 or 150), introductory chemistry (CHEM 115 and 116), introductory physics with calculus (PHYS

141 & 151, or 151 & 160), and six courses (36 units) in humanities and social sciences. Many of these courses

also will figure in the student’s major at Lawrence. Because specific requirements vary slightly among the

engineering schools, students contemplating the 3-2 program should consult early with the program advisor.

Forestry and environmental studies

Page 29 of 717

Program advisor: Bart De Stasio

The college offers a cooperative program with Duke University in the areas of environmental science and

forestry. Upon satisfactory completion of this five-year program, spending three years at Lawrence and two at

Duke’s School of the Environment, the student will receive the B.A. degree from Lawrence and the professional

degree Master of Forestry or Master of Environmental Management from Duke.

The major emphases at Duke are in forest resource production, resource ecology, resource policy and

economics, water and air resources, and ecotoxicology. An undergraduate major in natural sciences, social

sciences, or pre-engineering is good preparation for the programs at Duke, but a student with any

undergraduate concentration will be considered for admission. The student must complete a total of 48 units at

Duke, which generally takes four semesters. The student must complete 162 units at Lawrence and fulfill all

other requirements that cannot be completed at Duke. All students contemplating this cooperative program

should plan to take work in ecology, economics, and statistics at Lawrence before matriculating at Duke.

Some students may prefer to complete the bachelor’s degree before undertaking graduate study at Duke. The

master’s degree requirements for these students are the same as those for students entering after the junior

year, but the 48-unit requirements may be reduced for relevant, already completed undergraduate work of

satisfactory quality. All credit reductions are determined individually and consider both the student’s educational

background and objectives.

Occupational therapy

Program advisor:

Gerald Metalsky

Lawrence offers a 3-2 program in occupational therapy in conjunction with the School of Medicine of

Washington University, St. Louis. Students spend three years of study at Lawrence and then continue for five

semesters and two summers in the occupational therapy program at Washington University. After two

semesters of successful study at Washington University, Lawrence awards the Bachelor of Arts degree. The

student then continues for three more semesters and two summers at Washington University to earn the

Master of Science in Occupational Therapy degree. Students who complete this program are prepared to

address the prevention and treatment of physical or mental dysfunctions that impair people’s abilities to perform

activities of daily life. Occupational therapists focus on the methods that permit individuals to engage in

meaningful life activities. They also assist in modifying environments that make it possible for individuals to

function at home, at work, and in the community.

Lawrence students apply to the occupational therapy program of the School of Medicine, Washington

University during the fall of the junior year and must meet the entrance requirements established by the

occupational therapy program. The Washington University School of Medicine is one of the finest in the

country, and the occupational therapy program is competitive. A 3.25 Lawrence grade-point average is a

minimum requirement but does not guarantee admission. Students who are admitted may apply for financial aid

provided by Washington University.

To complete the occupational therapy program, students must complete 162 units at Lawrence, meet General

Page 30 of 717

Education Requirements, and fulfill all requirements for a Lawrence major. Students also must fulfill the

prerequisite course requirements for occupational therapy, as follows: BIOL 130, 150, and 242; one additional

biology course (6 units) numbered 200 or above; one additional science course (6 units) chosen from physics,

chemistry, biology, or neuroscience; PSYC 250 and 260; one course (6 units) chosen from among PHIL 100,

PHIL 120, PHIL 320, PHIL 440, ECON 290, or GOV 495; two additional courses (12 units) chosen from the

social sciences; and MATH 107. Completing Lawrence requirements and the prerequisite requirements will

require careful planning, which must begin early in the Lawrence career. Students interested in this program

should talk with their faculty advisors not later than the beginning of the sophomore year. Students should

coordinate their plans with Students should coordinate their plans with the program advisor as well.

ANTHROPOLOGY

Professor: P. Peregrine

Associate professors: C. Daughtry, B. Jenike (Edward F. Mielke Professor of Ethics in Medicine, Science and Society),

M. Jenike (chair)

Assistant professor: L. Murali (on leave term(s) I)

Visiting assistant professor: D. Proctor

Anthropology is the study of humanity in all its cultural, biological, linguistic, and historical diversity. A synthesis

of scientific and humanistic concerns and methods, it attempts to distinguish universal human characteristics

from those unique to individual social groups, and to understand the reasons for differences between

individuals and groups.

The insights of anthropology are essential for a critical understanding of the problems of the contemporary

world. Anthropology informs a public confronted with choices to be made with respect to changing value

systems; competing social goals; ethnic, religious, class, gender, and race relations; new and emerging

technologies; environmental and cultural resources management; changing paradigms of health, wellness, and

disease; linguistic diversity; and international relations.

Anthropology offers both unique theoretical perspectives and a particular set of methodological approaches.

The faculty considers it essential that we educate our students in both. Students should take away from their

studies a substantive knowledge of the commonalities and differences in human experiences and also an

understanding of how that knowledge is obtained and evaluated.

The anthropology major thus prepares students for successful entry into any number of professional and

graduate programs, as well as careers that require a multicultural approach and perspective. Our mission is to

represent anthropology appropriately at Lawrence and in the wider communities within which we live and work,

and to educate others wherever and whenever possible with the insights that anthropology has to offer.

The anthropology department at Lawrence includes a range of courses and opportunities for guided

independent study from the complementary perspectives of archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistic

anthropology, and ethnology. Faculty members provide expertise in a number of ethnographic areas, including

North and West Africa, India, East Asia, the Middle East, and North America. Topical interests include

archaeological methods, refugee communities, medical anthropology, linguistic anthropology, biological

anthropology, forensic anthropology, and museum studies. The department maintains two well-equipped

laboratories, as well as collections of archaeological and ethnographic materials from many culture areas. The

department holds a full suite of geophysical equipment for non-invasive archaeology and also provides

equipment for audio and video data collection and transcription to support research in the cultural and linguistic

anthropology subfields.

Senior Experience in anthropology

The Department of Anthropology's

Senior Experience is a two-course sequence which is the culmination of a

four-year series of core courses designed to develop the student's abilities to reason and practice as an

anthropologist. Students begin their study of anthropology with a three-course introductory sequence, and

move on in their sophomore year to a three-course theory and methods sequence. After further exploration of

Page 34 of 717

their specific interests within anthropology through elective courses and off-campus study, each anthropology

student develops a plan for their

Senior Experience by the end of the spring term of their junior year. Typically,

students will develop this plan in

ANTH 401: Research Preparation. However, students who are studying off-

campus during spring of their junior year will need to consult with their advisor about an alternative to ANTH

401, including the addition of 6 credits of at least 400-level coursework to their requirements for the major.

Following from the plan developed in the junior year, students will enroll in a

Senior Experience foundation

course

in their senior year that will serve as the basis for Senior Experience work. ANTH 430 or any 500- or

600-level course in Anthropology can serve as the

Senior Experience foundation course. Concurrent with the

foundation course, students must enroll in 2 units of ANTH 699 with the foundation course instructor, for which

STUDIO ART

Associate professors: R. Neilson (Frederick R. Layton Professor of Art Art and Art History), B. Rinehart (Art and Art

History) (on leave term(s) III), J. Shimon (Art and Art History, chair)

Visiting assistant professor: T. Conrad (Art and Art History)

Instructor: M. Sullivan (Uihlein Fellow of Studio Art Art and Art History)

An integral part of a liberal arts curriculum, the courses of the art and art history department encourage

aesthetic awareness and appreciation by emphasizing the interdependence of art-making, art history, and other

creative and intellectual fields. A major is offered in either studio art or art history, and certification for teaching

K-12 is available in conjunction with the studio art major. A student may complete a double major in studio art

and art history by fulfilling the requirements for each major. Students planning to major in studio art and/ or art

history should take the introductory 100-level courses required for the major in their freshman and sophomore

years. Students may take a maximum of 126 units in the art and art history department, provided that no more

than 90 are in either studio art or art history.

Required for the major in studio art

Students who major in studio art will learn the principles of two-dimensional design (line, shape, texture, value,

color theory, balance, rhythm, emphasis, illusion of space, etc.), three-dimensional design (form, function,

dimensionality, line, plane, volume, mass, space, texture, light, color, balance, scale, proportion, materials,

etc.), and four-dimensional design (elements of time, narrative, non-narrative, multiples, experimental structure,

installations, etc). Students will generate and propose project ideas for a fully realized body of work to be

included in ongoing exhibitions, installations and public art displays. Moreover, they will recognize the

continuum of art history, theory, and criticism to provide background and context for critiquing and producing

art, and they will interpret contemporary art and design and its relationship to art history and visual culture. In

so doing, they will implement the communication skills required for evaluating art. At the conclusion of the

major, students will produce a fully realized body of work backed by an artist statement and properly presented

in the Senior Exhibition.

The major in studio art requires the following:

Senior Experience in studio art

The studio art

Senior Experience consists of two separate yet complementary components: ART 600: Senior

Seminar

(usually offered Term II) and participation in the Senior Exhibition, held annually in the Wriston

Galleries near the end of Term III.

Both aspects of the studio art

Senior Experience are intended to be a culmination of the practical and

conceptual art-making skills developed through the studio art program. Designed to inform one another, both

serve to encourage a more refined awareness and understanding of current issues pertinent to contemporary

art along with the applied skills and critical thinking processes necessary for success either in graduate school

or as a professional visual artist.

Required for the minor in studio art

1. A minimum of six studio art courses (36 units) to include:

a. ART 100 and 110

b. One course (6 units) numbered 500 or above

c. Three additional courses (18 units)
