Program Formats
Lindenwood University-Belleville strives to make quality higher education accessible to traditional and non-traditional students. Undergraduate and graduate academic programs are offered in two distinct formats: the semester and quarter term formats.
Semester Schedule
The undergraduate semester schedule programs are considered “traditional,” with classes being offered during the day. Between the fall and spring semesters, an optional January term is offered during which students may take courses. The January term gives students and faculty members the opportunity to concentrate on a topic of special interest. January term courses emphasize experiential education, content immersion, creativity, and close interaction with the instructor(s).
Note: Graduate degrees in education and counseling are also held on a semester basis, but with most classes meeting in the evenings.
Quarter Term Schedule
Lindenwood University-Belleville also offers graduate and undergraduate degrees for the “nontraditional” student. Accelerated programs geared toward these students are offered in the evenings on a quarter-term schedule through the University’s School of Accelerated Degree Programs. The nontraditional program was created to provide an accelerated program of study that would enable students to make progress toward an undergraduate or graduate degree without relinquishing career and family obligations.
