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.

Garrett Mikulka

Garrett Joseph Mikulka graduated in December 2019 with an English Literature degree and a minor in writing. He will jump straight into graduate studies, starting an English PhD program at Indiana University. “One of the best parts about Lee is the faculty,” Garrett said. “Professors, particularly in the English department but also some in Classics, took my academic goals seriously and helped me get on the path towards graduate level work.”
