The Wildwood facility for Lindenwood University is its 11th extension campus in the region. Designed specifically for working adults, evening courses offered there are a part of the Lindenwood College for Individual Education (LCIE) overall program.
Quarterly courses earn students nine semester credits during each quarter, with a total of 36 credits possible during a calendar year.
Classes meet 13 times in 12 weeks, generally from 6pm to 10pm, one night a week. Class enrollment is limited to 12 to 14 students, with writing and oral skills emphasized. Courses are taught using a method that emphasizes student interaction and peer-based learning.
Each of the LCIE courses are grouped in clusters, which offers students the opportunity to analyze and synthesize material in a combined fashion.
The Lindenwood University faculty states a total of 128 credit hours is required for graduation. Fifty-five credits must meet general education requirements.
Each student is assigned a faculty advisor, and meets with that advisor at least one time per term. Advisors evaluate students' progress, assist with course registration and serve as a resource.
