Lincoln College in central Illinois has two campuses offering two distinct opportunities for a one-of-a-kind education. The campus at Lincoln is a two-year residential college with a focus on liberal arts, fine arts, and athletics. The campus at Normal offers bachelor degree programs in addition to associate degree programs and a school for Cosmetology.

Lincoln College-Normal offers bachelor, associate, and certificate programs in a variety of areas including liberal arts, business management, criminal justice, and tourism, sport, and hospitality. The Accelerated Bridge to Education (ABE) program offers working students an opportunity to attend class at night and earn up to 27 credit hours throughout a calendar year.

Lincoln College-Lincoln offers the associate of arts degrees in many liberal arts and social science disciplines, such as English, fine arts, history, and psychology. The associate of science degree is offered in areas such as math, science, education, business, and agriculture. These two degree options allow for credit transfer into a four-year program. Lincoln College-Lincoln also offers the associate of general studies degree, which is for students who want a strong background in the liberal arts and sciences, but do not wish to continue on to a bachelor's program. Although the credits will transfer into a four-year program, this degree option at Lincoln College will not fulfill general education requirements for most programs.

Whichever campus they choose, Lincoln College students will be able to take advantage of the wealth of opportunities available in this small, supportive academic community.
