Greetings from St. Lawrence University! Here in our beautiful corner of northern New York, adventure, creativity, innovation, and tradition take many forms and infuse everything from our demanding liberal arts and sciences curriculum to our career prep programs to our vibrant student life.

As a student at St. Lawrence, your curiosity will be your guide. You’ll ask bold questions that lead to unexpected answers. You’ll seek new opportunities and engage perspectives that differ from your own. In the process, you’ll form your own unique conclusions, because we believe an education is not something you simply absorb—it’s something you DO. Your thirst for knowledge and experience could lead you to pursue independent research for your eventual major or minor, to travel far and wide off campus, and to use the North Country as your classroom.

St. Lawrence students graduate with the skills they need to make an impact, both in their own hometowns and globally. We invite you to visit our campus to get a better sense of how our students, faculty, staff, and alumni can help you shape a future that is both successful and personally fulfilling. You can start here for more information on scheduling a visit, applying to St. Lawrence, or paying for your education. The college search process is the very beginning of a great adventure, and we look forward to working with and getting to know you and your family!

Want to see the world in a different way? Then check out anthropology! As an anthropology student, the whole human world, past and present, will be your subject. You will get the tools you need to understand all aspects of the human experience, from our DNA to the languages we speak to the artifacts we make, from the beginnings of primate evolution to the contemporary era of rich cultural diversity.

Our majors and minors choose from a broad range of courses in archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and biological anthropology. Our majors also complete an experiential learning component which can involve study abroad, independent research, community-based learning, or an internship. Our graduates put their anthropological skills to use in many different settings: schools and universities, government agencies, private companies, and non-profit organizations.

Our faculty members have done research in Egypt, India, Indonesia, Namibia, Sudan, and upstate New York, and we mentor student research in many other places both at home and abroad. Our teaching and research laboratories house several collections of artifacts as well as human skeletal materials and ancient bone and fossil casts for hands-on study. We hope to see you in our classes!

ALL ARE WELCOME!

“No matter what world we live in now, we are all people of the earth, connected to one another by our mutual humanity.”
~Angeles Arrien, The Four-Fold Way

We are grounded in the inclusion, belonging and well-being of all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status or religion/spiritual tradition. Our mission is to enhance and nurture the spiritual lives of students, faculty and staff at St. Lawrence University. Spirituality is central to our lives and helps us to live more meaningful lives. Though spirituality overlaps with religion or belief in God/the divine/higher being, spirituality does not necessarily equal religion. Our working definition of spirituality is “that which moves us toward wholeness, making meaning, purpose and connection.” The Chaplain’s Office offers programs and resources to aid in spiritual development.

The Chaplain’s Office is committed to:
*Providing spiritual care and pastoral support. The chaplain offers guidance and/or spiritual support to persons about a range of topics. Topics include faith, deepening spiritually, grief and loss, belonging, big questions, purpose, making meaning, discernment, identity, relationships, sexuality, conflict, important life decisions and more.
*Providing opportunities and resources for persons to engage in various spiritual practices and reflection in times of crisis, celebration or spiritual exploration. These resources help develop the spiritual/religious imagination.
*Interfaith engagement and spiritual/religious pluralism by providing opportunities for constructive communication and partnerships between spiritually/religiously diverse communities.
*Assisting in times of crisis, celebration or annual observances, with religious/spiritual rituals, campus ceremonies and university traditions. Examples include baptisms, weddings, vigils, memorial services, worship services, mediations, restorative circles, holding space gatherings, concerts, convocations, commencements, etc.

“WHOEVER YOU ARE AND WHEREVER YOU ARE ON LIFE’S JOURNEY, YOU ARE WELCOME HERE!”
The Chaplain looks forward to meeting with you! Make an appointment or stop by during office hours!

Chemists understand the natural world through the structure and bonding of atoms. From their first course in chemistry, St. Lawrence students learn through hands-on experiences in the classroom and cutting-edge labs. They pursue independent research projects with faculty mentors to discover new medications, forms of renewable energy, and insights into the structure of proteins. Many students present their results at regional and national conferences. Our chemistry program builds from its liberal arts setting to educate the whole person, and the National Science Foundation (NSF) couldn’t agree more, providing us with a grant to create the new Liberal Arts Science Scholars program.

Our chemistry majors have gone on to successful careers and prestigious graduate schools, including: Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Columbia University, Cornell University, PerkinElmer, University of California, Berkeley, University of California San Diego, University of Washington, University of Wisconsin–Madison, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Virginia, Vanderbilt University, Vertex Pharmaceuticals and more.

The economics curriculum is designed to familiarize the student with economic theory and “the economic way of thinking,” to provide knowledge about economic institutions, to foster the development of skills in applying economic analysis to contemporary issues, and to create a foundation for critical thinking, problem-solving, and intelligent engaged citizenship. The major provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to help solve today’s most challenging social and economic problems at a local, regional or global scale.

A major in economics opens up a wide range of career opportunities: from jobs in banking, finance, real estate, consulting, and insurance, to teaching, to entrepreneurial work in business or the non-profit sector. It also provides great preparation for law school or MBA or public policy graduate programs. Fields such as investment, finance, and banking are dotted with St. Lawrence alumni, who in the true Laurentian spirit, love working with our students, often leading to opportunities after graduation.

Students who major in English at St. Lawrence develop critical reading and writing skills, explore diverse cultural backgrounds and historical periods represented by literary works, produce (and sometimes publish!) their own creative work, and examine the relationships between literary art and life. They go on to apply this knowledge in a variety of careers: writing, editing, journalism, education, law, advertising, communications, public relations, and business.

Students can choose to major either in creative writing or literary studies. The major is founded on a fundamental belief that writing and literature infuse and enrich one another. For this reason, literary studies majors who focus on authors such as Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, and Toni Morrison also have the opportunity to write fiction, essays, and poems. Creative writing majors, meanwhile, work in two genres (including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and journalism) and also study topics such as environmental writing and multi-ethnic literature from across the United States.

Additional opportunities that await English majors include off-campus study (London and New York City are popular), an array of internship possibilities, student-run publications, summer fellowships to support independent literary study and creative writing, and honors projects to complete extended critical studies and book-length creative manuscripts. The writer studying literature develops a critical acumen that fosters sophistication of technique; the literary critic studying creative writing achieves an understanding of the ways an author thinks about craft. Our English department courses help students explore cultural backgrounds and values, examine the bonds between life and art, and discover the liberating qualities of the imagination.

The First-Gen Initiative was developed to both support and celebrate first-generation college students (students who are the first in their family to go to college). First-gen students make a valuable contribution to St. Lawrence University, enriching the community by bringing under-represented perspectives to higher education and reflecting one of the highest ideals of college in the United States, the expansion of opportunity for young people of great talent and hard work.

Being a first-gen student is something to celebrate, but it also comes with unique challenges, since first-gen students cannot lean on family knowledge about what the college experience looks like to help them navigate the complexities of college life. First-gen students often do not know the language, the codes, and the practices that children of college-educated parents learn at a young age.

The First-Gen Initiative exists to help level the playing field. We are committed to sharing knowledge about how to maneuver through the complexities of campus life, in the classroom and outside of it; offering a space to discuss the challenges and opportunities of college for first-gen students; providing mentoring and support to help first-gen students make the most of their college experience; and celebrating the achievements of first-gen students.

They continue to develop these skills in a spring First-Year Seminar.

Geology is the intensive study of earth systems, the lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. It is a field-based science applied to questions related to the identification of the resources needed for modern civilization, environmental contamination/remediation, natural disasters, climatic change, and the history and evolution of the Earth and life.

Geology majors at St. Lawrence spend a sizable portion of their time in the field, both locally and on field trips to classic locations in the U.S. and abroad designed to supplement classroom instruction with real-world experience. Graduates of our program travel far and wide and serve society and the profession in numerous ways including as part of the academic, government, and private sectors where they work as researchers, regulators, advisers/consultants, and academic professionals.

The Low-Impact-Living Greenhouse is a small, intentional group of individuals focused on the creation of community through the means of education, outreach and self-sufficiency. At the Greenhouse, we hope to foster a low-impact-living lifestyle, not only for the current house members, but also for the student body and the greater community. Through workshops, campus wide events and locally sourced, family style community dinners we are able to generate a greater sense of environmental awareness on the St. Lawrence campus. It is our hope that through providing consistent educational and experiential workshops based around self-sufficiency, we will be able to affect change within the campus community. It is our mission to serve as examples of how to live simply and locally on a high-impact college campus, promoting healthy, sustainable habits. It is our hope that through our workshops, dinners, and events we can generate a sense of environmental awareness within as wide an audience as possible,however it is also our belief that one cannot understand their ‘environment’ without understanding the people who compose it. We strive to bridge the gap between the SLU community and the greater North Country community as frequently as possible through several different forms of public events. By networking with local farmers, artisans and businesses, our goal is that students and residents will create lasting connections. One of the most important and effective means of living locally is knowing your community, and only through the cooperation of the community can we create environmentally conscious, low-impact lifestyles. Over the next few years we are working to continue collaborating with other clubs and theme houses on campus, as well as off campus collaborators, with the hope that we can get more people involved with low-impact, local living.

History is more than a catalog of events and actors; it is an ongoing process of discovery and interpretation. All facets of human experience have a historical dimension — the power struggles of monarchs and presidents; the working lives of farmers, sailors and seamstresses; the spiritual lives of people who were enslaved; the cultural assumptions of colonizers; the intimate relationships of families, to name only a few. Even the telling of history has a historical dimension, since historical interpretations change over time, and historians often disagree about exactly how things happened and why.

The variety of sources through which we understand history can encompass the full range of human expression as well—written documents, clothing, household items, artwork, advertisements, songs, buildings and public monuments, among others. By studying primary materials and divergent interpretations of history, students acquire and develop analytical and expository skills.

The study of history affords many additional benefits. It expands and enriches our understanding of the diversity of human lives over time across such boundaries as gender, culture, class, race, age, region, and religion. It helps us think about how and why the world we know came to be and about our own places in it. History students learn about the past and develop skills in and beyond the classroom. They engage in community-based learning, conduct independent research projects, complete summer internships, and study abroad.

Our graduates have gone on to careers in banking, business, communications, education, finance, government, information technology, journalism, law, medicine, politics, public health, public history, and numerous other fields. The history major is excellent preparation for anything that requires the ability to analyze, problem-solve, and communicate.

Mathematics, computer science, cybersecurity, data science, and statistics—distinct programs that share a single home at St. Lawrence—are each deeply rooted in the Liberal Arts. Within each of these majors, introductory courses foster the critical thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving skills necessary for all disciplines while upper-level courses sharpen these skills and introduce students to the deeper world of the majors.

At St. Lawrence, you’ll get great hands-on experience through courses and research opportunities with classmates and professors. Our department emphasizes conceptual learning, allowing students to transfer the skills they learn in one discipline to another, creating well-rounded problem solvers. The five disciplines have many points of intersection, so it is not uncommon for students to concentrate in more than one of our disciplines through major/minor combinations.

Upon completion of their degree, our majors are prepared to either go on to graduate school or into the work-force. Graduates have pursued advanced degrees in each of our five majors, along with related fields like engineering, finance, and business. In the work force, students are prepared for a wide variety of careers; recent examples include medical research, financial management, software development, information technology, actuarial science, and sports analytics. The skills obtained by studying mathematics, computer science, cybersecurity, data science or statistics are utilized in almost any career-field, making the employment opportunities numerous.

A major in Performance and Communication Arts will give you the tools to better understand and communicate with others, personally, professionally, and socially.

Theatre studies engage students in critical inquiry into previous performances and previous performance texts, as well as artistic engagement with the craft of producing original texts and performances. Performance studies, a broader term, includes theatre studies, but also encompasses a broader array of performance behaviors, including (among others) the performance of gender, the performance of self in everyday life, the performance of texts other than plays, ritual performances, and political performances, both mainstream and activist.

Rhetorical studies focus on the use of symbols to alter attitudes and induce others to act in a particular manner, and students engaged in rhetorical studies are challenged to critically examine previous attempts at persuasion, as well as to creatively enter into the production of original persuasive messages. Communication studies, a broader term, includes rhetorical studies, but also encompasses a broader array of communication behaviors in a broader variety of contexts, including among others interpersonal communication, small group communication, and intercultural communication.

The department's major is designed to enable students to pursue their interests passionately and in-depth. However, we are also committed to a philosophy that emphasizes both depth and breadth of study and, accordingly, the curriculum requires majors to enroll in courses that span the various areas of inquiry. Thus, majors explore the rhetorical and communicative dimensions of performance and the performative dimensions of rhetoric and communication.

When you study philosophy, you enter a new way of thinking about yourself and the world. Our degree program offers the opportunity to examine the deep questions of human existence, such as:

What does it mean to live a good life?
How should a person live?
Are we free?
What is the self?
What is the nature of reality?
How are individual and community related?
What is justice, and can we create a truly just society?
How should humans interact with the natural world?
What is knowledge?
What can be known and when do we have good reason for our beliefs?
Through examining such questions, you’ll develop creativity and critical thinking skills. Many employers like to hire philosophy majors because they have a reputation for being flexible, clear thinkers and good writers. Philosophy combines well with all other majors, so you can study philosophy and whatever else interests you.

St. Lawrence’s psychology department takes a broad approach to answering this question, offering courses on diverse topics such as the brain and behavior, sensation and perception, learning, development, personality, abnormal psychology, and social behavior. You can also explore the application of psychology through courses on sport, community, clinical, cultural, legal, and environmental psychology.

Many of our students work one-on-one with faculty mentors on collaborative research projects. Recently, our students have conducted studies on memory and trauma, nanoparticles, learning, virtual reality, infant communication, coach-athlete relationships, sleep and hoarding, and juror decision-making.

Our graduates work in a variety of settings, such as schools, counseling centers, businesses, and not-for-profit agencies. Some obtain their graduate degree in areas such as social work, teaching, physical therapy, mental health counseling, school psychology, law, and nursing.

Mission
People’s lives are often rooted in religious worlds that profoundly affect their experiences, politics, ethical, and aesthetic sensibilities. Our religious studies program educates students about the diversity of religious worlds and diversity within religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Shinto, and religion in the United States. We also focus on the key role religion plays in history, politics, culture, and in diverse areas of life by teaching a variety of methodological and theoretical approaches.

Spend time investigating the intricacies of religious systems, practices, and expression, as well as their impact around the world and on modern events. Many students who study abroad and find their religious studies classes provide a wonderful foundation for their understanding of the cultures and people with whom they interact.
