About Lincoln
Lead.
Stand Out on Campus and in the Game
There's more to school than just classes, and at Lincoln, you'll be able to build friendships and connections that will last a lifetime. Our campus is small but tight-knit, energized by a vibrant social life, a robust Greek culture, and a one-of-a-kind Homecoming celebration. We are also home to an NCAA Division II athletics program (go Lions!) with 11 varsity sports teams and cheerleading, so you'll be able to take the lead on and off the field.
Student Life
The athletics program is a NCAA Division II member institution and sponsors 11 varsity sports that compete in the CIAA (Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association) as well as cheerleading.
LINCOLN LIONS
The Lion's Roar
When I come to campus and see the fire in the eyes of students and their eagerness to become all they can be, I'm reminded of myself and how fortunate I am to be part of Lincoln University.

Strength Through the Storm: A Senior’s Journey to Success
Dennes Dennis journey to graduation is a powerful story of resilience, faith, and determination. She began her college career as a nursing major, but after her program was unexpectedly canceled, she faced a series of personal and academic setbacks including the loss of her father and delays in continuing her studies. During this time, she also navigated a high-risk pregnancy with serious medical complications, all while staying committed to her education.
Despite these challenges, Dennes persevered attending classes, remaining active on campus, and pushing forward with unwavering faith and purpose.
