Lakeland University, private liberal arts college in Plymouth, Wisconsin, United States
Lakeland University is a private liberal arts college in Plymouth, Wisconsin, offering flexible education both in person and online. The campus spans 240 acres of green space with functional buildings, bright rooms, and open hallways, along with seven centers across Wisconsin and an international campus in Tokyo, Japan.
The school was founded in 1862 by German immigrants and was originally known as Mission House, combining church and education in one place. It received its current name in stages and was restructured in 2016 to include three separate schools for business, sciences, and humanities.
The university was founded by German immigrants who created a school and church combined in one building. Today, this communal tradition continues through how students and staff work together and participate in local events and celebrations.
Visitors can easily navigate the campus with parking available nearby and quiet spots to sit and observe student life on the grounds. The school offers open spaces and green areas where you can experience campus life without needing special arrangements beforehand.
The school was one of the first in Wisconsin to offer evening classes for working adults, and since 2017 operates a special program where students work with local companies for 12 to 18 months while earning more than 100,000 dollars. This approach combines practical work experience with an academic degree in an unusual way.
