Why study at Lipscomb?
At Lipscomb, we’re committed to providing exceptional academics with a foundation in the Christian faith that’s interwoven throughout your entire college experience—from our nationally ranked programs in business and nursing to our NCAA Division I athletic teams.
The Lipscomb difference starts in your residence hall, where your hall leadership is carefully selected to provide spiritual guidance and support. This base is built upon in your classrooms with professors acting as both teachers and mentors, both professionally and personally.
You’ll also experience weekly opportunities to gather with the Lipscomb community to pray, worship, and study scripture and regularly hear from guest speakers to challenge you to grow spiritually. There are also weekly smaller group settings where you can learn to pursue God in specific, diverse ways.
Activate your faith through service opportunities, both in the Nashville community and around the world. Each semester on Service Day, we cancel classes to focus on volunteering all around the city, and our in-house missions program is the largest of any university in the nation with over 60 annual trips across the globe. Here, you’ll become part of a community that challenges you in your studies and in your faith so you can grow holistically.
