Lawrence Technological University is a private university in Southfield, Michigan. It was founded in 1932 in Highland Park, Michigan, as the Lawrence Institute of Technology (LIT) by Russell E. Lawrence. The university moved to Southfield in 1955 and has since expanded to 107 acres (43 ha). The campus also includes the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Affleck House in Bloomfield Hills. The university offers associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs through its five colleges.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 63% graduation rate and 77% freshman retention suggest that a meaningful portion of students don't finish, which is worth asking about during a visit. On the positive side, graduates earn a solid median of $60,500 ten years out, and the relatively low median debt of $20,500 means you're not over-borrowing for that outcome. Worth considering if you're drawn to engineering or technology fields in the Detroit metro area and have a clear plan to stay on track — but make sure to ask what support systems exist for students who fall behind.
