Degree Requirements

As an undergraduate college of the liberal arts and sciences with a conservatory of music, Lawrence University offers three degrees: the Bachelor of Arts degree, the Bachelor of Music degree, and a combined five-year B.A. and B. Mus. degree. Lawrence also participates in cooperative arrangements with professional schools that allow students to combine a liberal arts education with professional training in allied health sciences (nursing and medical technology), engineering, forestry and environmental studies, and occupational therapy, leading, in most cases, to the awarding of two degrees.
