Senior Experience is the next step in the evolution of Lawrence’s liberal arts curriculum, an experience that engages all Lawrence seniors in an academic project demonstrating proficiency in their major field of study, the integration of knowledge and skills gained during their years at Lawrence, and the development of scholarly or artistic independence. Described by some as a “bookend” to Lawrence’s nationally recognized Freshman Studies program, Senior Experience is born from our culture of individualized learning where students and faculty work closely to develop a path for learning, culminating in a project that prepares them for the transition to life after Lawrence.

All students complete a senior experience in accordance with the requirements of their major(s) and are encourage to discuss their plans with their advisor(s) during the junior year.
