Undergraduate Admission Requirements
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.
