Admissions

The magic of Longwood is in its people — friends meeting on Brock Commons, professors who are motivated by your success, and staff who help make your next four years the best yet.

As you explore our campus and start to dream about life as a Lancer, I hope you’ll reach out to these people. Our admissions staff is ready to help you, student Ambassadors can give you a sense of what college is really like, and when you get to campus, stop by to see me in Lancaster Hall. Welcome to Longwood!
