Lewiston-Auburn College (LAC) has several distinguishing characteristics: interdisciplinary majors in Leadership and Organizational Studies, Natural & Applied Sciences, and Social & Behavioral Sciences; student-centered learning; a community atmosphere; and a deep commitment to meeting regional needs. Faculty and staff are dedicated to engaging students in a transformative process in which self-awareness, content knowledge, relevant skills, and career development are merged in such a way that lifelong success and learning are intentional and expected.

The curriculum is marked by integration not only among the various disciplines within the liberal arts, but also between the liberal arts and the professional concentrations, between professional concentrations and the workplace, and between the College and the community. The faculty is dedicated to learning as a shared experience between students and faculty.
