Like most private, nonprofit colleges, Lawrence offers a small student-to-faculty ratio (9:1) and average class size (15). Lawrence teaches an extraordinary number of individualized courses—honors projects, tutorials, studio lessons—with one student working under the guidance of one professor. Of the 2,000 courses taught at Lawrence each year, nearly two-thirds have a total enrollment of one. By the time they graduate, 90% of our students will have at least one individualized class. That's the power of individualized learning.
