College Counselors

WestlandsSarah Lawrence College is a small, progressive, coeducational college that approaches the liberal arts and sciences from the perspective of the individual student. Known for its exceptionally low student-faculty ratio, the College offers small classes, regular one-on-one student-faculty conferences and an interdisciplinary approach to learning—ideal for combining interests and exploring personally meaningful courses of study in depth. Students in all areas—from the sciences to the creative and performing arts—find the College’s curricular flexibility both liberating and enriching. And, at the core of the curriculum, an emphasis on writing builds skills of clear thinking, persuasive argument and thorough analysis—indispensible tools in any discipline.
