A Top-Tier, Christ-Centered Experience

Welcome to Lee University, in scenic southeast Tennessee, where the Tennessee River carves through the Appalachian foothills. We offer well over 150 programs of study from associates to doctoral degrees, but our original focus – and still our mission more than a century later – is to create a safe but challenging environment in which our students can develop and prepare for a complex and demanding world.

Expect
Something
Great

We have a phrase around Lee, Expect Something Great. We think the college experience should be much more than just academic excellence. At Lee, we expect our students to experience transformational relationships with faculty, with other students, in campus life, and as they move into their calling.

Mackenzie Pearson

“One of my favorite things about Lee is being a part of the volleyball team,” said Mackenzie “Mack” Pearson, a marketing major from Alachua, Florida. “This team is truly a family, and it gives me an opportunity to show the love of God to others, the same way they have shown it to me.” Mack has been on the Gulf South Conference Honor Roll twice, during her time on the team. “I am grateful for the friendships I’ve made at Lee, and I love how active the campus is, with so many opportunities for everyone to be involved.” Though she doesn’t have plans set in stone after graduation, Mack would like to travel and work in marketing.
