Lindenwood University is a private university in St. Charles, Missouri, United States. Founded in 1832 by George Champlin Sibley and Mary Easton Sibley as The Lindenwood School for Girls, it is the second-oldest higher-education institution west of the Mississippi River.

The numbers tell a mixed story here — while median debt at graduation is a relatively manageable $9,500, median earnings of just $24,700 a decade after enrollment raise real questions about return on investment, especially at $22,079 per year in net costs. Worth considering only if you're pursuing a specific vocational program with clear local job demand in the Detroit area, but do your homework on placement rates and what graduates in your specific field are actually earning before committing.
