Lawrence University organizes its curricular programs and offerings into divisions that are further described in degree requirements. The divisions are as follows:
Humanities: Chinese, classics, English, French, German, history, Japanese, philosophy, religious studies, Russian, and Spanish
Natural sciences: biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics and computer science, and physics
Social sciences: anthropology, economics, government, and psychology
Fine arts: art and art history, music, and theatre arts
Interdisciplinary programs, such as biomedical ethics, East Asian studies, environmental studies, ethnic studies, gender studies, and linguistics, are usually non-divisional. However, such non-divisional courses, as well as education and university courses, may be assigned divisional affiliations when appropriate.
