Program Format
In 1975, the Lindenwood College for Individualized Education (LCIE) was created to provide an accelerated program of study that enables students to make progress toward an undergraduate or graduate degree without relinquishing career and family obligations. The Lindenwood Evening College was established to meet the request for part-time education for those students unable to attend classes during the day. Classes are held on a quarterly basis. Many older adults who might not pursue higher education in a traditional setting find LCIE’s educational philosophy and flexible program an ideal learning environment in which to earn a degree or to pursue studies appropriate to personal learning goals. Since its inception, the evening format has maintained a deep commitment to meeting the intellectual and professional needs of adult learners with employment experience. The purpose continues to be to provide high-quality professional and personal competence. Using methods based on adult learning theory, the Lindenwood College for Individualized Education provides students with the techniques of scholarly inquiry. Through varied curricula and excellent teaching designed to meet a full range of adult student needs, the Lindenwood evening program realizes its mission within the university community.
