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.

Deborah Hale

Deborah Hale is a senior in the Helen DeVos College of Education majoring in early childhood education PreK-3. She is a member of Alpha Chi and Spire National College Honor Society, Kappa Delta Pi National Honor Society, and Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society. “When I brought my daughter to LeeU Preview, I immediately fell in love with the campus and its atmosphere,” said Deborah, a non-traditional student from Chattanooga, Tennessee. She enjoys learning from professors who are not only passionate about education but teaching their students and serving the Lord. After graduation, she plans to teach kindergarten or first grade and hopes to one day help develop a preschool program geared toward students with learning differences.
