2 LINCOLN UNIVERSITY
About US
Founded in 1854, as Ashmun Institute, and established as this
nation’s first historically black, degree-granting college-university.
As Horace Mann Bond, ‘23, the eighth president of Lincoln
University, so eloquently cites in the opening chapter of his book,
Education for Freedom, this was “the first institution found anywhere
in the world to provide a higher education in the arts and sciences
for male youth of African descent.” The Institute was re-named
Lincoln University in 1866 after President Abraham Lincoln.
Since its inception, Lincoln has attracted an interracial and
international enrollment from the surrounding community, region,
and around the world. The University admitted women students
in 1952, and formally associated with the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania in 1972 as a state-related, coeducational university.
Lincoln currently enrolls approximately 2,000 students.
Lincoln is surrounded by the rolling farmlands and wooded hilltops of
southern Chester County, Pennsylvania. Its campus is conveniently
located on Baltimore Pike, about one mile off US Route 1 – 45
miles southwest of Philadelphia, 15 miles northwest of Newark,
Delaware, 25 miles west of Wilmington, Delaware, and 55 miles
north of Baltimore, Maryland.
Located in southern Chester County, Lincoln is accredited by the
Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and offers
academic programs in undergraduate study in the arts, sciences as
well as graduate programs in human services, reading, education,
mathematics, and administration.
