About Diversity of the Student Body

The Lee University family appreciates diversity in many areas. Not only do we attract students from around the country and around the world, but we also attract students from many different religious backgrounds.

We at Lee are proud of our heritage as a Church of God sponsored institution; however, we strive to maintain our sense of openness and acceptance to Christians of many denominations. Here are just a few of the religious affiliations represented: Church of God of Prophecy, Assembly of God, Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Independent/Non-denominational, and Presbyterian. Our chapel services reflect our diversity as well, since the range of different ministers demonstrates a wide variety of worship styles.

Our diversity also extends to geography. We have students traveling to Lee from 48 of our fifty states, but it doesn't stop there. Extending past the United States borders, Lee students leave home from fifty seven different countries. Some of our more frequent points of origin include the Bahamas, Nigeria, South Africa, Korea, Honduras, and the Ukraine, which reveals the ethnic richness of our student body.
