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.

Elijah Patty
Elijah Patty, a business administration major from Cleveland, Tennessee, is a member of Tau Kappa Omega, a student worker in the School of Business, and a student ambassador on the Admissions team, which he loves because he gets to “share my passion for Lee and hear cool stories from incoming students around the world.” Along with being on the Dean’s list, Elijah is a member of LEAP (Learn Engage Achieve Program) and a B.L. Hicks Scholar but is most thankful for a deeper insight as to who God is in his life. “The faith integration into the classroom has helped me understand how to carry out my future career in a Christ-like manner.” After graduation, Elijah plans to pursue his MBA at Lee.
