3 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. 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. 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. 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.
