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.

Abigail Houston

Abigail Love Houston graduated from Lee University in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She is currently a registered nurse at CHI Memorial in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in their oncology department, and is back at Lee working on her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree to become a family nurse practitioner. “My time at Lee in the undergraduate nursing program was incredibly challenging, but I know that I would not be the nurse I am today without their guidance,” said Abigail. “I was stretched mentally and physically, and now daily transfer the knowledge and grit gained from Lee to my profession as a nurse. I am excited to see where the rest of my journey at Lee as a doctoral student takes me.”
