At the close of the Civil War, soldiers and officers of the 62nd United States Colored Infantry, stationed at Fort McIntosh, Texas, but composed primarily of Missourians, took steps to establish an educational institution in Jefferson City, Missouri, which they named Lincoln Institute.

Accessibility of resources

I prefer the in-person education offered at CLC, however, the university also does an admirable job with their online learning program. They provide a plethora of supplementary materials such as videos and additional texts to ensure ample resources for students. Moreover, their prompt and helpful response system is commendable, with professors easily reachable during designated office hours and even more available through appointments.
