Welcome to the Academic Divisions Site of Lindenwood University! We're glad you're here, and we want to tell you a little about who we are and what we do.

Lindenwood University is a premier example of a new category in higher education - the Teaching University - a concept that combines the strengths of the traditional liberal arts colleges with the best qualities of modern universities. The teaching university is dedicated to producing and continually improving a learning-oriented campus culture.

The teaching university supports scholarship but believes that scholarship should complement, illuminate, and enhance the processes of learning and student development. Lindenwood accomplishes this by rewarding scholarship that is incorporated into class activities and course material; by encouraging students to work alongside their professors in scholarly pursuits; by promoting a vigorous honors program; and by continuously collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data on student achievement and program assessment.
