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.

Rachel Turner

Rachel Turner is a biological science major with an environmental biology emphasis and a minor in political science. She came to Lee from right here in Cleveland, Tennessee, and said her family has always loved Lee. “Almost every member of my family has attended Lee, and I have grown up hearing nothing but good things, so I've always had a heart for Lee.” Rachel is a member of Tri Beta Honors Society and an RA at the Garden Plaza Senior Living Community in town. One of her favorite things about her college years so far is that the faculty and staff are "so intentional and caring when it comes to their students’ lives." After graduation, Rachel plans to pursue a graduate program in law or medical/PA school.
