Lexington College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lexington College is a Catholic women's college located in Chicago, Illinois. The curriculum is focused entirely on hospitality management. As of 2006, the college had 56 students.[1]
All students graduating from Lexington receive either the Bachelor of Applied Science or the Associate of Applied Science. Students can major in culinary arts, hotel/restaurant management, event planning, or social development. Students must complete one (A.A.S.) or two (B.A.S.) internships while attending Lexington in order to receive their degrees. The programs as well as the college are accredited by the The Higher Learning Commission.[2]
The college is affiliated with Opus Dei, saying it "is inspired by the social teachings of the Catholic Church and entrusts its doctrinal and spiritual formation" to the prelature.[3]
Lexington is classified as a Minority Serving Institution, since its 39% Hispanic population within the student body is far outside the national average. The school is also 44% black, but is not considered a historically black college.
