Lincoln University (LU) is a public state-related historically black university (HBCU) near Oxford, Pennsylvania. Founded as the private Ashmun Institute in 1854, it has been a public institution since 1972 and is the second HBCU in the state, after Cheyney University of Pennsylvania.[5] Lincoln is also recognized as the first college-degree granting HBCU in the country.[6] Its main campus is located on 422 acres (170.8 ha) near the town of Oxford in southern Chester County, Pennsylvania. The university has a second location in the University City area of Philadelphia. Lincoln University provides undergraduate and graduate coursework to approximately 2,000 students. It is a member-school of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
While a majority of its students are African Americans, the university has a long history of accepting students of other races and nationalities.[7] Women have received degrees since 1953,[7] and made up 66% of undergraduate enrollment in 2019.[8]
