Located between the high peaks of the Adirondack Mountains and the national capital of Canada, the University provides unparalleled access to international government, cultural and social opportunities and outdoor recreation. Among the features of St. Lawrence's curriculum are international programs in 14 nations and three domestic off-campus programs (including an Adirondack Semester), a nationally recognized, model interdisciplinary program for first-year students; and 12 interdepartmental programs. St. Lawrence is in the midst of an educational renaissance, with ambitious academic initiatives and major facilities improvements throughout campus but especially in the sciences and the arts.
