academic advising

The ultimate aim of tutoring is to help students become independent learners. Tutoring has been found to help students improve grades, get work done in less time, understand material better, recall course-content over longer periods, and most importantly, help students become better learners in general. 

Tutoring can be available to any students who feel they could be learning more successfully than they are. In fact, tutors themselves request tutoring since they know firsthand how beneficial tutoring can be. 

A four-year course of liberal arts study at St. Lawrence is an excellent foundation for law school. There is no formal pre-law curriculum and law schools require no particular major. Students interested in law should acquire a good general education, demonstrating achievement in serious and substantial courses. Students are advised to take foundation courses in all aspects of liberal education--humanities, science, social science--and to study such areas as basic accounting, economics, government, and history.

Undergraduate programs of study at St. Lawrence lead to professional training in medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, nursing, physical therapy and veterinary medicine. Arrangements may be made to enter an accredited health professional school upon the completion of 24 course units at St. Lawrence. In these cases, - St. Lawrence University will award the bachelor's degree upon graduation from the professional school and on further condition that all distribution requirements prescribed by the University have also been fulfilled.

At the heart of St. Lawrence’s Academic Advising is the principle that each student is ultimately responsible—that is, each person “owns”—what happens during college. From the very beginning of their time here, students are urged to recognize that their four years are precious, a time of both exploration of myriad possibilities and conscious planning in light of this exploration.

This is a test.
