Natural Sciences

If Lawrence is your first choice, apply by Nov. 1 to receive your admission decision by Dec. 1. Early Decision applicants also receive financial aid offers and select housing early, making senior year feel more settled.

Program Overview

Do you have a scientific interest that doesn’t fit neatly into one subject?

Construct a major around subject areas that bridge two or more disciplines in the natural sciences. Delve deeper into a primary subject area by taking classes and working closely with faculty in that field. Natural sciences give you the flexibility to design your studies around your interdisciplinary interests.

Program Highlights

Build a strong foundation across the natural sciences and prepare for graduate study or careers in fields such as life sciences, medicine, biomedical engineering, and epidemiology.

Turn a interdisciplinary scientific education into opportunities across research, health care, biotechnology, education, journalism, public policy, and specialized graduate fields.

Advising
