The development of the courses in each degree program is a methodical process, drafted by a group of professors who teach at regionally accredited universities. As a result of this process, Lincoln students enjoy curriculum that is comprised of the most popular courses currently being taught.

A standard agenda is adhered to when preparing the curriculum. Namely, only those courses that allow the student the opportunity to learn sequentially and expand their knowledge in the expectation of progressing toward a degree are selected. The curriculum includes both:

The content of a course of study which is detailed in the Lincoln catalog of courses and descriptions, and; Learning activities required of a student in the process of gaining the necessary knowledge, which would include practice and final examinations.

Curriculum reviews are available for inspection at the Lincoln University's Administrative Offices.
