Professor giving a lecture to studentsLincoln College is a private, two-year, liberal arts college, fully accredited by the North Central Association.

Lincoln College has long fostered a personal approach to education and it had a tradition of personal education before the concept became universally popular.

The Lincoln College mission requires that faculty members play a variety of roles in their relationships with students. Three roles of central importance are:

... to teach

The primary relationship on any college campus is the instructor-student relationship. The Lincoln College faculty attempts, through diligent work and professional expertise, to provide the best possible environment for students to achieve academic success and personal growth. Academic standards are maintained at a level equivalent to other institutions of higher learning, but the instructor's efforts for the student do not end with the mere presentation of subject matter.

...to advise

All Lincoln College students are assigned a faculty advisor from their area of academic interest or from the faculty at-large if the student is undecided. The faculty advisor helps orient the advisees to college work, assists them with their scheduling of classes and registration, monitors their academic progress, and is quick to commend them for their successes, counsel them concerning their difficulties, and refer them to faculty members and student services staff for necessary help.

.. to counsel

Counseling is a function that cannot be confined to a counseling staff nor can it be conducted with equal success by all faculty members. Lincoln College knows that students deserve a helping hand, but it must be a firm, realistic helping hand.
