Admissions at Sarah Lawrence reflects the same values as our academic approach: creativity over convention. Conversation over checklists. Collaboration over competition.
We don’t admit numbers. We admit people. Throughout the application process, we get to know what makes you you — your questions, your talents, your goals. And together, we begin to plan your path toward an extraordinary future.
There’s no formula for an ideal Sarah Lawrence student — because there’s no formula for a Sarah Lawrence education. We look beyond grades and scores to understand how you think, what drives you, and how you’ll thrive within our intellectually adventurous community.
Our master’s programs are rigorous, intimate, and field-defining. Whether you’re advancing your career or reinventing it, our Graduate Admissions team will help you find the program, and the mentorship, that fits your ambitions.
The curiosity to start—and to keep going.
At Sarah Lawrence, education doesn’t begin at 18, and it doesn’t end at graduation. We are a community of lifelong learners: children discovering their voices, teens exploring their independence, professionals deepening their expertise, writers finding new forms, neighbors building civic impact.
Whether you’re just beginning or beginning again, there’s a place for you here.
Come fall in love with our picturesque, 44 wooded acres in Westchester County — just 25 minutes from New York City. Wander through historic architecture and state-of-the-art facilities. Sit in on a class. Talk with students. Experience the rhythm of campus life.
