Lindenwood University–Belleville, also known as Lindenwood Belleville, is a private, four-year liberal arts university. It is a full-fledged, standalone sister college of Lindenwood University with an enrollment around 2,300 students. Lindenwood Belleville is located in Belleville, Illinois and occupies the campus that was formerly Belleville West High School. Lindenwood Belleville offers a day program, as well as evening programs for working adults. Lindenwood Belleville offers both bachelor's and master's degree programs in business administration, human resource management, corporate communication, criminal justice, and professional counseling.
Lindenwood University purchased the campus of the former Belleville West High School in 2003 following key partnership agreements and state approval. Lindenwood also launched master of arts programs in education and educational administration. Other programs were launched through the school’s College for Individual Education (LCIE) program, an evening-based accelerated format designed for working adults, which is now known as the School of Advanced Degree Programs.
Lindenwood also invested over $23 million as part of a campus restoration campaign. The plan included the restoration of Lindenwood’s auditorium and the updating of several buildings. When it opened in the fall of 2009, the Belleville campus was the only one of Lindenwood’s extension locations to offer daytime classes. For the 2009-2010 academic year, the semester-based programs were only offered to junior- and senior-level students, but in the fall of 2010, the University expanded semester-based programs to all underclassman. In 2011, Lindenwood University-Belleville transitioned from a satellite campus to a separately accredited college. The University was notified of the accrediting decision in November by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Under the new accreditation, Lindenwood University-Belleville will keep the same name and the same governing board as the St. Charles campus, and is now considered a sister school as part of the Lindenwood University System.
The 35-acre (14.16 ha) campus is located on West Main Street in Belleville, Illinois, about 16 miles (26 km) east of St. Louis, Missouri. Lindenwood University acquired the campus that was previously home to Belleville West High School. The Administration Building is located at the center of the Lindenwood Belleville campus. The building also houses many of the academic space and facilities and The Woods Cafe. The Advanced Degrees Program classroom building is used for evening undergraduate- and graduate-level classes.
