Why Lawrence Tech?

Lawrence Tech’s alumni, faculty, and students have long played a significant role in advancing the nation’s leadership in manufacturing, technology, and innovation. Proximity to industry, both literally and figuratively, has been a hallmark of a Lawrence Tech education since the University’s beginning in 1932. Not only was the University situated next door to where Henry Ford perfected his first moving assembly line, but it was also founded on the principle of “Theory and Practice.” All programs are developed with the input of industry and business leaders so that students learn the theories of their disciplines and how to put those theories to work in the real world.
