STEM in a Liberal Arts Environment

Cur Non is our rally cry at Lafayette College. The motto of the Marquis de Lafayette, our namesake, Cur Non means Why Not. Why not have the courage to live boldly? Why not engage in every aspect of learning? Why not use your intellect, energy and talent to find your place in the world? Cur Non means anything is possible at Lafayette.

We are a top liberal arts and engineering college, dedicated to undergraduates who want hands-on experience to address real-world issues across interdisciplinary teams. If you want to learn skill sets, then ask why. If you want to develop a mindset, then ask why not. Learn about the STEM programs at Lafayette College and applying for admission to Lafayette.
