Lipscomb University

For 135 years, Lipscomb University has prepared learners for purposeful lives through rigorous academics and transformative experiences. Its Christ-centered mission brings faith into education, with a focus on intellectual curiosity, character, leadership and service. Students can choose from more than 200 programs of study, with academic opportunities spanning areas such as business, nutrition and dietetics, natural sciences, engineering, film, music, animation, graphic design and fashion.

Professional preparation is closely connected to the Nashville setting. Many majors require internships, and students in the College of Business have worked with companies including HCA, Philips, Schneider Electric and Tractor Supply Company. Faculty-student partnerships include natural-science research through the Ward Summer Research Fellowship and creative projects through CEA Studios. Service-learning, volunteer work and international mission teams give students additional ways to apply their studies.

The campus is in Green Hills, a neighborhood a few miles from downtown Nashville, with restaurants, shopping and green space nearby. Students can engage with the city through internships, service-learning and volunteer opportunities, while accessing its employers, professional sports, museums, parks, nature and restaurants. Nashville International Airport is minutes from campus and served by major airlines. International students should expect a supportive, faith-integrated community and a learning experience that combines classroom study with practical involvement in the city.
