Operation Achievement

Operation Achievement is a mentorship and enrichment program, which assists selected 6th through 8th grade students in the Georgetown Independent School District to develop the discipline and motivation necessary for academic success. Southwestern University and Georgetown Independent School District jointly run the program. Selected students meet with Southwestern University student mentors on a weekly basis to develop an academic program of study based on student goals, teacher/parent recommendations and individual learning needs.

General Admission Requirements
Lindsey Wilson College welcomes applications from students genuinely interested in attending college. Admissions decisions are made by the Director of Admissions based on academic promise, personal objectives, maturity, motivation, and a resonable potential for success at the College.

Lindsey Wilson uses the “rolling admissions” plan, which enables the Admissions Office to notify applicants of admission decisions as soon as all credentials have been received.

GENERAL STUDIES (B.S.)

The Bachelor of Science in General Studies major is designed for those students who desire a degree offering the opportunity to have breadth rather than preparation for a particular field of work. The emphasis of this major is on distribution rather than concentration, enabling students to use both inter-college and interdepartmental combinations for courses (cognates) that will provide a broad pattern of educational experience. For some students the General Studies major may provide a broad background for later, more specialized, study or training.

INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES (B.S./B.A.)

The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies major provides an option for the exceptionally talented student who wishes to pursue a particular area of study not available through the structured major and minor programs. Students with high motivation, an exceptional background, or an unusual combination of talents and interests may find this degree program useful in attaining their goals.
