Lawrence Technological University is a small private university located in Southfield, Michigan, just a few minutes outside of Detroit. Lawrence Tech is in a great location and is less than 30 minutes from downtown Detroit, shopping centers in Novi and Troy, the Detroit Zoo, and popular Royal Oak and Ferndale. Lawrence Tech has about 4500 enrolled students with under 1000 living on campus. LTU's strongest academic programs are Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Engineering Technology, and Computer Science. LTU has also been ranked as "Best in the Midwest" by the Princeton Review and US News & World Report, in the top 30% by Bloomberg Businessweek, a Military Friendly School, and numerous other accolades. The university has been rapidly expanding its athletics since recently joining the National Association of Collegiate Athletics (NAIA). Student life is also very vibrant on the campus and a new burst of traditions and celebrations have exploded on the campus in recent years. LTU's new slogan, "Possible is Everything," is very evident as almost 77$ of class sizes contain under 20 students (student-faculty ratio of 11:1) which allow you to create unique 1-on-1 connections with your professors, deans, and directors. When it comes to Greek Life, members of Greek organizations are very active on campus, but only 5% of men and 7% of women are involved in Greek Life. An Order of Omega chapter does exist on campus. Greek are governed by the All-Greek Council, the IFC, and the NPHC. There is one NPC sorority (along with 2 locals) on campus, hence the lack of a Panhell. In terms of growth, the University was just approved by the City of Southfield to commence construction of new housing units, educational facilities, new athletic fields, and Greek Row. The University is very heavily involved with the City of Southfield's downtown development.
