Office of Undergraduate Admissions

Upon entering the gates of Lincoln University, a student immediately feels accepted into a community that values families, and relationships. The faculty, staff and administrators want to engage, develop and introduce you to ideas and people understanding that the campus, community and the world is your classroom.  

The Lincoln University experience inspires and nurtures students to view success as a necessity, not an option. The result has been a long and growing list of alumni who have achieved extraordinary things in all areas of society.

Sometimes, the most extraordinary success is in finding yourself – discovering your passion, transforming your ideas into reality, learning how to make it on your own, and drawing strength from the extended family Lincoln will become to you.

The Office of Undergraduate Admission is here to help you through the admissions process by answering your questions and addressing your concerns.
