St. Charles-Area Colleges Profiled by White House

New searchable database identifies how schools perform on cost, graduation and loan defaults. See how schools such as Lindenwood University rated.

Speaker challenges Lindenwood University students to find a platform to share their dreams with others.

Making a dream a reality requires a sense of purpose, strong principles and a platform to share your dream with others, says Latricia Bucker, an inspirational speaker and columnist for The St. Louis American.

Lindenwood to Open Nursing Program in Former Barat Academy Building

New property will be home to a nursing completion program and possibly other health programs.
