What does it take to get in to Lakeland University? Lakeland is a test-optional institution that prides itself on taking a holistic approach when considering an applicant for admission. While students can elect whether or not their test scores play a role in the admissions process, we understand there are inherent flaws in trying to summarize your academic potential in a single exam. We seek the student who wants to learn and be a member of a community that specializes in individual attention, both academic and interpersonal.
Lakeland University accepts students on a continuing basis throughout the year. To maximize your housing selection and financial aid package, we suggest you apply early in your senior year of high school. We recommend the following high school units of college preparatory work:
English: 4 years
Math: 3-4 years
Natural Sciences: 3 years
Social Studies: 2 years
Foreign Languages: 2 years
Any additional courses in college preparatory areas
Lakeland is a proud test-optional institution. Test scores are no longer required to gain admission or earn any level of merit scholarship we offer. If you have questions about what this policy means for your application, please contact us to get in touch with an admissions counselor - Admissions@Lakeland.edu or 920-565-1022.
