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.

Joy Douglass

Joy Douglass had no doubt about what university she would attend. “I knew I wanted to go to Lee because of its wonderful Christian perspectives and skills that I could learn to apply in the real world.” She says the highlight of her experience so far is the Jewish Immersion trip that allowed her to connect the business skills she has learned with the surrounding communities. Joy, a healthcare administration major from Cleveland, Tennessee, has also been involved in Lee Singers and Delta Nu Delta, the School of Business honor society. She hopes to one day own a Christian-based healthcare facility or work in hospice
