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.

Samuel Rumschlag

In 2015, Samuel Rumschlag graduated from Lee with a double major in anthropology and humanities. Following the completion of both his BA and Master of Arts degrees, Rumschlag was immediately hired by the Wisconsin Historical Society as an archaeologist. It is unusual for students to be hired right out of school, and he largely credits his success to Lee's anthropology program and faculty. “Although Lee is a small school, its size gives students the opportunity to develop relationships with faculty and receive mentoring from them in a way that is rarely available at a larger school,” said Rumschlag. He says the faculty and the opportunity to meet established people in his field as major factors in preparing him for full time employment right out of college.
