For nearly 90 years, Lawrence Technological University (LTU) has continued to prosper and accelerate its growth, hone its educational philosophy of theory and practice, build important community and professional alliances, and forge partnerships with the firms, organizations, and industries that hire Lawrence Tech alumni. Born in the middle of an innovation explosion that would change the world, Henry and Edsel Ford helped launch the revolutionary experiment that would become LTU, providing guidance and space in their sprawling former Model T assembly plant for the fledgling school. Founded as a college of engineering with only a few hundred students and a handful of faculty members, today LTU offers more than 100 programs in four colleges, with a total enrollment of approximately 3,000 students, and employs more than 300 full- and part-time faculty, making it among Michigan’s largest independent colleges.
