The Instructor of Business will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of academic and co-curricular programming for the new major. The I&E program is firmly grounded in our liberal arts values and mission and provides a path for students to connect their education to creative and productive ventures in both for-profit and non-profit organizations. Lawrence University has three 10-week academic terms each year, and 6 courses per year is the normal teaching load.
