Tyler Roberts

Tyler Roberts graduated from Lee in 2011 with a degree in health/physical education. Since then, he has taught middle school physical education, high school health/wellness, and coached high school sports. He is currently a health and wellness teacher and head baseball coach at Meigs County High School in Tennessee, as well as a part-time law enforcement officer. “As a former student-athlete, Lee prepared me for the teaching and coaching career by establishing high expectations from professors and coaches from the very beginning,” said Tyler. “This, combined with rigorous undergraduate and post-graduate studies and research, made for an exceptional education.” According to Tyler, Lee is a place that exemplified the overwhelming love of Christ, present in students, faculty, and engrained in the daily teaching and learning.

What Classes Should I Take?

We have two class options for Encore Scholars depending on your goals and time commitment. Traditional Courses – Traditional courses integrate Encore Scholars with traditional students. These classes meet for a full semester, 2-3 days a week. They can be taken for credit or audited. Mini Courses – Mini Courses are specially designed for Encore Scholars. These classes meet once a week for 5-8
week sessions.

What Is The Difference Between Credit and Audit?

Taking a class for credit requires you to abide by the syllabus and professor expectations. You must complete all projects, tests and papers and you will receive a grade at the end of the semester. Auditing a class exempts you from projects, tests and papers. You can attend the course at your leisure. You will not receive a grade but your transcript will reflect that you attended the course.

When Are Encore Classes Offered?

Encore classes are offered every fall and spring semester. Registration takes place in January and August.

What Can I Do With My Student ID?

Your student ID card will get you free tickets to athletic events, the Presidential Concert series, theater productions and the campus recreation center.

How Much Does It Cost To Be In Encore?

There is a $25 programming fee each semester you enroll as an Encore Scholar. The only outside costs you may have are books and a small supply fee for special courses.

How Many Classes Can I Take?

You are eligible to take up to two courses each semester.

Do I Have To Be Over 60?

Yes, you must be 60 or over to enroll as an Encore Scholar.

Is Parking Available?

Your parking permit allows you to park anywhere on campus. We strive to schedule mini courses outside of peak times in effort to make this easier.

What If I Miss Class?

We understand that you have busy lives. Mini courses do not have an attendance policy. If you are taking traditional courses for credit, speak with your professor.

Can I Complete My Degree as an Encore Student?

Encore is solely an educational enrichment program. In order to complete your degree you must enroll as a traditional student through Admissions.

MBA

If you are looking for an MBA program that will not only help you meet the challenges of today’s complex global economy but also meet the needs of your busy schedule, consider Lee University.

Our flexible, hybrid program allows you to take classes on campus or online—or both—and achieve your MBA in just 20 months.

The School of Business hopes to transform the lives of students through the highest quality business programs focused on the application of Christian values. There are three core principles embedded throughout the School of Business: (1) We integrate our faith with our discipline, thus producing graduates who consider the impact of Scripture on decision making; (2) Critical thinking is infused in the curriculum and students must support responses with logic, theory, and experience; and (3) Experiential learning is a hallmark of our academic pedagogy. In lower-level classes, this is accomplished with guest speakers or brief case applications. In upper-level courses, students experience hands-on projects, competing in a virtual industry, and solving comprehensive cases requiring extensive research with results presented in a classroom setting.

What Programs We Offer

Meet Our Faculty

Our faculty are academically and professionally accomplished in the business world, and they are particularly focused on faith integration and why it’s crucial in business.

Most of all, they love working with college students. These caring professionals trust students with difficult material because they are there in the process, believing in the student’s ability to overcome challenge and achieve mastery.

On January 23, 1932, in Minot, North Dakota, there were five inches of snow on the ground, temperatures dipped below zero for the tenth time that month, and Paul LaVerne Walker was born. The United States had reached the lowest and most fearful point of the Great Depression as local banking panics spread throughout the nation. If the world gave a message, it shouted: “Frailty is not an option.”

Over the course of his tenure as a minister in the Church of God, Paul L. Walker and his wife, Carmelita, would face many such crises. Division in the church, political upheaval, bureaucratic resistance, and the loss of a son made tensions in the conference room and congregation the least of this pastor’s worries. Yet those who knew him speak only about his excellence – his boundless energy, commanding presence, meticulous care, courageous leadership, and timeless wisdom.

Dr. Walker’s accomplishments could fill a book, among them the earning of six degrees from five colleges and universities, twenty years filling elected positions, twenty more in appointments, all while pastoring one of the largest congregations in the Church of God in downtown Atlanta during the height of every American crisis and technological advancement from 1950 to 2000 and beyond. But his family, staff, and colleagues remember the way his presence filled a room and how he could make a person feel like theirs was the only seat in the house as he declared Scripture and encouragement from the pulpit.

Zeal for God and for life permeated everything that Dr. Walker did. He threw himself into competitive sports so fully that any person within his proximity had a story of a time he sustained a serious injury. His driving record was pockmarked with traffic violations for, in the words of his grandson, Justin, “There’s too much of the world to see to drive slowly.”

Likewise, he threw himself into ministry. Mt. Paran Church of God, which he pastored lovingly for more than four decades, was filled to the brim with people, many of whom had never set foot in a church before. He had met these new converts himself during his nighttime forays into downtown Atlanta as part of the completion of his doctoral work in psychology. His staff warned him not to go, or at least to take someone along for protection, but he refused. When asked why he could not perform his clinicals elsewhere, he simply replied, “Because that’s where the people are.”

His son, Mark, remembers his father’s passionate drive vividly. “My dad had a huge heart for hurting people. He drilled into my brother and me that the people were not here for us; we were here for them. Dad never believed in lost causes. It’s why his sermons always ministered the hope and healing of Jesus Christ.” Dr. Walker's love for people was matched only by his delight in preaching. A natural orator, he was known for his smooth, conversational style and ability to deliver perfectly timed, expertly crafted sermons punctuated with long Scripture passages – all without using notes at the pulpit. This propensity led many to believe that he was gifted with an eidetic memory, but those closest to him remember instead the time and effort invested in his tireless preparation.

In naming the Center for Pentecostal Preaching after Paul L. Walker, we hold his values and qualities as a beacon, drawing people called to ministry through preaching to come increase their passion and skills. May their courage be reinforced, their voices strengthened, and their love refined. As Dr. Walker would say, “Amen, amen, and amen!”

Hi! My name is Madison Funderburk and I am the Admissions Counselor for Transfer Students. I am so glad you are interested in attending Lee University! I would love to answer any questions you may have and help you through this new and exciting transition in your life!

I graduated from Lee University in May of 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration with a focus in Marketing Management. Although I came to Lee only knowing one person, this school quickly became a place that I now call home.

During my time at Lee, I had the privilege of being a part of the Lee University Singers and the service-based Greek club, Delta Zeta Tau. Both of these communities brought many service opportunities, lifelong friendships, and memories that I will cherish for a lifetime.

Lee University has been a place where I have been challenged to pursue excellence. I have grown spiritually, academically, and socially thanks to the professors and Christ-centered community on campus. I am forever changed because I found this school, and I am thankful for every moment I have spent here.

I would love to share more with you about Lee and the many opportunities awaiting you here! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with your questions!

Becoming an Online Student

Whether this will be your first university experience, or you are a returning student, our goal is to make the admissions process easy.

Since our inception in 1918, Lee University has been transforming the lives of its students. Lee gave us all the opportunity to learn and grow, ask questions, and wrestle with answers. We made lifelong friends, interacted with professors who made a difference in our lives, traveled to other countries and experienced new cultures, learned the value of service to those in need, discovered our calling, and grew in our relationship with Christ. As a result of our experiences we landed jobs, started careers and maybe even a family. Our stories share a common thread: the incredible life-changing value of the Lee Experience.

Today, our alumni community is stronger and more vibrant than ever. We are the dynamic link between the university’s past, present, and future. We are LeeU’s staunchest supporters, leading efforts to grow the university, extend its reach, and provide educational opportunities for the best and brightest students.

Lee University's graduate programs provide an educational experience that meets the most important requirement: a profitable engagement of your time, purpose, and personal resources. The graduate faculty live out the integration of their personal faith with expertise in their respective disciplines. They are dedicated to guiding, encouraging, and fully equipping you for the next step in your academic and professional journey. This is a big decision, and we’d love to be a part of it.

Graduate programs at Lee University are open to persons holding a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university, and whose undergraduate or graduate work has been of sufficient quality and scope to enable them to profitably pursue graduate study.

The genuine excitement and love that was shown to me when I first got to Lee caught me off guard; everyone was friendly and kind. I was able to learn more about my personality and faith through the engagement and activities that Lee hosts, like the transfers meetings I attended and Deke Day where I was able to help around the community and campus. These activities made me grow as a person both mentally and spiritually and gave me the ability to view both life and people through a different lens. Finally, Lee has a positive environment that will help you pursue your goals and dreams and also give you challenges that will help all individuals grow in some sort of way and Always Expect Something Great.

Nokia Sabra

Zambia

My time at Lee University was extremely special because of the community. Whenever I was looking for colleges to attend, I knew I wanted to not only grow academically, but also spiritually, and Lee was the best place to pursue that. The faculty and staff at Lee never failed to support me, and they have allowed me to grow and be a better student and a better person. While there are certain struggles unique to international students, the community at Lee University was always incredibly welcoming, helpful, and supportive. I have cherished my friendships that I made at Lee more than anything else. Connecting with other international students through clubs and organizations made me feel like I was not alone in the process. If you want to grow in your faith as much as you want to learn, then Lee University is the right place to be.

Madelaine Setiawan

Lee University is like a big home with a big family where everyone is welcome. I have not only made lifelong friends, connections, and relationships but I have also already begun to achieve my goals while being in such an amazing community of like-minded people. The professors, students, and faculty all want you to succeed and will do their best to support you to achieve your goals and dreams. It is the place to be if you want to grow not just academically but also spiritually and socially. I had high expectations of Lee and yet it still well and truly exceeded them! I have loved my time at Lee, and I don’t want to ever leave... there are always new people to meet and new experiences to have.

Lee University offers its students more than 100 student clubs and organizations designed to enhance their spiritual, intellectual and social development. Membership in these groups is voluntary. Some organizations have open membership while others are by invitation only.

The goal of Lee University is to be a Christian community where people share their lives with one another and meet whatever academic, spiritual and social needs are present. Such a community calls its members into accountability for their actions, their theology and their lifestyles. This quest for Christian community is the foundation of the mission and purpose of Lee University, including campus life and student activities. The services provided, as well as the rules and regulations by which we live, evolve from commitment to the Christian community.
