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.

Liezl Theron
Liezl Theron came to Lee from Pretoria, South Africa, to double major in biological science and chemistry. Even though her Lee journey started off different than most, Liezl has found a second home within the community. “I was in South Africa when I started my first semester at Lee in August 2021 because of Covid restrictions, but when I finally got to Lee that October, I was greeted with the warmest welcome by my Gateway class.” Liezl is a member of the Women’s Track and Field team, where she has earned many awards, including the 2021-2022 GSC Field Athlete of the Year and 2023 Indoor GSC Most Outstanding Player. Upon graduation from Lee, Liezl plans to continue her studies to one day become a doctor.
