Undergraduate Admissions
The University expects applicants to have sound academic preparation for college, and each applicant’s academic record is carefully examined to determine whether the student has the potential to succeed at Lindenwood.
Lindenwood University consciously seeks a diverse student body and welcomes applicants from all socioeconomic, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. The University also values geographical diversity and welcomes international students.
Candidates applying to Lindenwood University are evaluated by the Lindenwood University Office of Day Admissions. Lindenwood recommends that applicants have completed at least 16 units of high school study in academic areas before applying for admission. (One year in a subject is considered an academic unit.) While no single academic preparation is required for admission to Lindenwood, a university preparatory curriculum is preferred; a student’s high school records should reflect four years of study in English and English literature and three years of study in natural science, mathematics, and social studies. The University also recommends two years of study in a foreign language as well as some study in the areas of fine and performing arts.
Applicants who are juniors or seniors in high school and are offered admission to Lindenwood University are admitted with the provision that all high school graduation requirements will be completed prior to attending the University. A final high school transcript must be submitted to the Lindenwood Office of Day Admissions after the applicant’s high school graduation and must include the applicant’s date of graduation.
