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.

Taylor Trotter

Taylor Trotter graduated from Lee with a B.A. in Biblical and Theological Studies in 2013. He went on to earn a master of theological studies (M.T.S.) from Vanderbilt University's Divinity School in 2015. He currently works as the dean of spiritual life and as the Christian studies department chair at Davidson Academy, a private Christian K-12 school located in Nashville, Tennessee, teaching high school biblical and theological studies, coaching middle school football and basketball. He will eventually also direct the upper school spiritual life activities. “Lee--especially my professors, mentors, and friends--showed me how to live a fully integrated life of mind, body, and spirit,” said Taylor. “Now I try to train my students and players in some of the same habits I acquired there, hoping that they may develop as whole persons fit for union with God, others, and the world.”
