Selection Criteria

Candidates applying to Lindenwood University-Belleville are evaluated by the Lindenwood University-Belleville Office of 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 program of academic preparation is required for admission to Lindenwood University-Belleville, a university preparatory curriculum is preferred; a student’s high school records should reflect four years of study in English and English literature and at least 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 seniors in high school and are offered admission to Lindenwood University-Belleville 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 Office of Admissions after the applicant’s high school graduation and must include the applicant’s date of graduation.
