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.

Gabriela Urbina Orellana
Gabriela Urbina Orellana is from San Pedro Sula, Honduras, though her mother grew up outside of Chattanooga and lived in Cleveland for a year. That is how their family found out about Lee. “I saw an environment where I could thrive - especially with a disability, and I saw a place where I would be surrounded and encouraged by Christian-minded peers,” Gabriela said. She currently volunteers at elementary schools as a Spanish translator for parents and teachers, organizes fundraisers for her mother’s nonprofit organization Eternal Family Project, and helps run the marketing side of a friend’s small business. “My dream is to one day own my own certified organic company with multiple lines. I would love to start my own foundation with the focus of helping children with disabilities in Honduras.”
