How to Apply to Livingstone College

Updated

Livingstone College's website provides a direct "Apply Today" entry point for prospective students. The college describes its applicant community as "a community of scholars committed to lives of leadership and service." If you are ready to apply, start at the Apply Today link on the college's homepage. For specific application requirements, deadlines, and document submission steps, contact the admissions office directly, since the homepage excerpt does not detail those items.

What Livingstone College Is

Livingstone College is a private historically black college. According to the college's own description, it is "secured by a strong commitment to quality instruction, academic excellence and student success." It operates in a Christian-based environment designed for holistic learning.

The college offers programs in:

  • Business
  • Liberal arts
  • STEAM
  • Teacher education
  • Workforce development

These programs are described as serving students from all ethnic backgrounds and designed to promote lifelong learning and develop leadership and service potential.

Academic Scope Before You Apply

The college states it offers 23 majors, giving applicants a defined range of fields to choose from. If you are unsure which program fits your goals, the site's "Find Your Major" section is the place to review options before submitting an application.

Ways to Explore the College First

Applying is not the only step available. The college invites prospective students to visit campus. A visit can include:

  • Walking the pathways with current students
  • Eating a meal on campus
  • Attending classes
  • Talking with faculty
  • Learning about academic and extracurricular opportunities

This is useful if you want to confirm fit before committing to an application.

Athletics and Campus Life

Livingstone competes as the Blue Bears in 12 CIAA Division 2 varsity sports and is a member of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Conference. The college also notes a historical distinction: the first black intercollegiate football game played in America took place on the front lawn of Livingstone College on December 27, 1892, against Biddle Memorial Institute, now Johnson C. Smith University.

What to Do Next

  1. Go to the Livingstone College website and locate the Apply Today link.
  2. Review the 23 majors under "Find Your Major" to identify your intended program.
  3. Contact the admissions office for application requirements, deadlines, and any supporting documents, as these details are not specified on the homepage.
  4. Consider scheduling a campus visit to meet faculty and current students before or during the application process.

The homepage confirms the application entry point and the college's stated mission, but it does not list deadlines, fees, test score requirements, or a step-by-step application checklist. Treat the admissions office as your source for those specifics.
