Welcome to our website. We are glad you chose to visit! This University is blessed with strong academic programs and has a robust financial position that ensures the continuation of quality higher education at Lindenwood into the foreseeable future. We believe this favorable position results from our being a student-centered Teaching University. On this campus, the student is not an intrusion: He or she is the reason Lindenwood exists. For more than 180 years, our mission has been to graduate enlightened, accomplished, useful citizens of a global society.
We offer 75 undergraduate programs and 36 graduate programs in diverse areas of study, both traditional and innovative. We are especially proud of our new doctoral program in Education. Thirty-five hundred of our students live on Lindenwood’s beautifully wooded, 500-acre main campus in St. Charles, most of them being actively involved in either student organizations or intercollegiate athletics (or both). Our graduate, corporate, and evening students are chiefly working professionals who attend class at one of our many branch campuses throughout Missouri and Southwestern Illinois.
I would like you to become a part of the Lindenwood experience, and I personally invite you to call, write, or visit us this summer. Perhaps you will find the path for your life here – as many thousands have since 1827. In any event, enjoy our website and let me know how we might make it more useful for you.
Sincerely,

James D. Evans, Ph.D.
President
