Linfield College -- a private undergraduate college with two campuses in Oregon -- combines liberal arts education with practical career training. Students at the college explore subjects like accounting, elementary education, and political science. Fully online programs serve learners interested in fields such as health administration, project management, and nursing. Experiential and service learning play a key role at the college. More than 40% of students participate in a study abroad trip, and collaborative research projects give learners the opportunity to work closely with faculty. Career counselors also help students find internships, with Linfield providing stipends and scholarships for unpaid positions. To apply to Linfield, you must have a high school diploma or GED certificate. While the college does not set minimum GPA requirements for admission, applicants with a high school GPA below 3.0 must also submit ACT or SAT scores. All prospective students must also write a personal essay.
