Welcome to Sarah Lawrence College

A rigorous education—uniquely yours

Ready and eager for intellectual challenge? Sarah Lawrence’s curriculum is based on round-table seminar discussions and close collaboration with faculty on independent writing and research. Programs of study are tailored to each student, and they’re as interdisciplinary as you make them.

A community of individuals

Find your people. It's easy here. Sarah Lawrence’s community thrives on conversation. This intellectual give and take—a constant exchange of ideas—unites our tight-knit campus and elevates the way we think, learn, create, and write.

A faculty of scholars

Our world-renowned faculty put teaching first—and spend more one-on-one time with students than do professors at any other liberal arts college. In The Princeton Review’s 384 Best Colleges (2019), our Classroom Experience ranks #1.

The best preparation for what’s next

Our students graduate exceptionally well prepared for the future—a future they create. From the academic life of campus to New York City’s endless opportunities a short train ride away, Sarah Lawrence has everything you need for college and beyond.

The best of both worlds

The charm and intimacy of a traditional liberal arts campus and the boundless opportunities of nearby New York City.

CampusEnhancements

A number of projects are in the works to enhance life on campus, highlighted by The Barbara Walters Campus Center and the reconstruction of an historic amphitheater.

Ahead of the Curve

The Campaign for Sarah Lawrence ensures that the College will thrive: educating intellectually rigorous, creative thinkers and doers who are singularly prepared to tackle the world.
