What is LAMP?
The Liberal Arts and Management Program (LAMP) is an honors-level interdisciplinary certificate program offered by the College of Arts and Sciences in cooperation with the Kelley School of Business. It allows students to integrate any major in the College of Arts and Sciences with specialized training in management and business concepts.

What will I gain from participation in LAMP?
LAMP offers students a unique interdisciplinary educational experience that provides avenues for students to consider multiple perspectives. Students take courses in business fundamentals like computing, accounting, and business law. They also study essential principles of management. LAMP students enroll in a series of three unique interdisciplinary seminars that encourage them to examine the interaction of business and management with other liberal arts and science disciplines.

LAMP students benefit from a close-knit network of talented peers, faculty and staff. The program provides countless opportunities in and out of the classroom to help students build networks and to explore leadership and careers through informational meetings with alumni, established professionals, and corporate and community leaders. From the Sophomore Leadership Retreat, the program’s unique and stimulating courses, to overseas study scholarship and co-curricular activities and events, LAMP offers students a variety of contexts through which to explore their interests and their potential for success

Can I still study overseas if I am pursuing the LAMP certificate?
LAMP particularly encourages students to take advantage of opportunities for overseas study. Traditionally, more than half the students in the program have spent all or part of the junior year studying abroad. Through the generous support of the Walt Robbins/Edward Hutton Overseas Study Scholarship, LAMP is able to offer significant financial aid to support our students’ overseas study. The LAMP curriculum will be adjusted to accommodate the student’s overseas study plans.
