Frequently asked questions

About Lincoln University

Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.

Where is Lincoln University located?
Lincoln University is located in Lincoln University, PA, in the United States.
What type of institution is Lincoln University?
Lincoln University is a public university based in PA. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
What is the acceptance rate at Lincoln University?
The most recently reported acceptance rate at Lincoln University is approximately 78%. Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
What is the tuition at Lincoln University?
Lincoln University's published in-state tuition is approximately $12,512 per year. This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
How many students attend Lincoln University?
Lincoln University reports total enrollment of approximately 1,843 students (undergraduate plus graduate). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
How much does Lincoln University actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at Lincoln University is approximately $12,912 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $11,585 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $16,615. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
What is the graduation rate at Lincoln University?
Lincoln University reports a graduation rate of approximately 52%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
How much student debt do graduates of Lincoln University have?
Students who borrowed at Lincoln University left with a median of approximately $28,250 in federal loans, and about 83% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
How much do graduates of Lincoln University earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $43,167 for students who received federal financial aid at Lincoln University. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
How should I verify final details about Lincoln University?
CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Lincoln University.
