Undergraduate Academics
At Sarah Lawrence we organize the undergraduate curriculum into four large areas of study: Humanities, History and the Social Sciences, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and Creative and Performing Arts. Within that broadly interdisciplinary framework, students have the opportunity to collaborate with their academic advisors (dons) to create their own programs of study.

Sarah Lawrence Magazine—Mind the Gap
Spring 2020
In classrooms and conferences, Sarah Lawrence students are encouraged to think for themselves—and to think critically about issues beyond and bigger than themselves. They also learn to take context into account when grappling with complex questions, analyze how we got where we are, and contemplate how best to move forward. As a result, SLC alumni make their way in the world with eyes and minds wide open—able to recognize and reckon with disparities encountered along the way. That’s so Sarah Lawrence.
