History

Established in 1827.

Lindenwood is a dynamic four-​year liberal arts institution dedicated to excellence in higher education. Nestled amid the beautiful linden trees, our historic 500-​acre campus is situated in the heart of St. Charles, Mo., a growing community of 62,000 just west of St. Louis.

Lindenwood University is known nationally and internationally for innovation, entrepreneurship and extraordinary dedication to students. We believe that education is the way to personal freedom and responsibility, which are the keystones of any democracy. We have a liberal arts heritage that goes back more than 183 years. In that time, we have learned how to educate in a way that helps each student become an enlightened, principled citizen of a global community.
