Lincoln Memorial University

[EduCativ]

Our nation's beloved 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, was a native of neighboring Kentucky. But you might not know that he envisioned "a great university for the people of this area" here in the Cumberland Gap. One hundred forty years later, Lincoln Memorial University is the heir of that vision, and we are very proud to wear his name and embrace his legacy.
Nestled in the pristine Appalachian Mountain range, LMU's main campus in Harrogate, Tennessee, is scenic and historic. About 55 miles north of Knoxville, Tennessee, we are perfectly poised to offer a liberal arts education. A main campus full of activities for residential students and 11 extended sites in surrounding areas, LMU provides educational experiences to suit your life. With over 30 academic majors ranging from accounting to wildlife and fisheries biology, success is within your reach.
Most important, LMU is a close-knit community filled with people who care. Students can expect personal attention with an average class size of 14. At LMU, students build relationships that last, and they learn lessons they will carry for life.
Lincoln Memorial University is a comprehensive values-based learning community dedicated to providing quality educational experiences at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels. The University strives to give students a foundation for a more productive life by upholding the principles of Abraham Lincoln's life: a dedication to individual liberty, responsibility, and improve respect for citizenship, recognition of the intrinsic value of high moral and ethical standards, and a belief in a personal God.
While primarily committed to teaching, the University supports research and service. The University's curriculum and commitment to quality instruction at every level are based on the beliefs that graduates must be able to communicate clearly and effectively in an era of rapidly and continuously expanding communication technology, must have an appreciable depth of learning in a field of knowledge, must appreciate and understand the various ways by which we come to know ourselves and the world around us, and must be able to exercise informed judgments.
Applying to college should not be a chore. We have gathered all the information we think you will need and put it right here at your fingertips. It is easy. Let us get started.
First, you should know that Lincoln Memorial University offers relevant and diverse curricula that can be tailored to your individual goals and personal growth. You will be challenged by faculty and fellow students, and as a result, you will expand your horizons and viewpoints.
Lincoln Memorial University offers a quality education at an affordable price. Nearly 90 percent of LMU undergraduate students receive some financial assistance through a combination of scholarships and need-based financial aid. For many students, the individual cost to attend LMU is less than the cost associated with state schools.
We are committed to providing financial assistance to every eligible student. Financial aid programs are designed to meet the difference between the family's expected contribution and the cost of attending LMU. The specific type of financial aid awarded to a student depends on the individual's demonstrated financial need and academic qualifications.
The University believes that one of the major cornerstones of meaningful existence is service to humanity. By making educational, service, and research opportunities available to students, Lincoln Memorial University seeks to improve life for the students it serves. While serving students from throughout the state, nation, and many other countries, the University retains a commitment to enrich people and communities' lives in the Appalachian region.
LMU offers a relevant curriculum for the 21st century in business, humanities, arts and sciences, education, and health professions. The quality liberal arts and sciences programs offer students a broad preparation for selected majors and programs of professional study. Numerous academic majors give students an array of undergraduate options.
Multiply these academic options by LMU's extended learning sites, online courses, and interactive television classrooms, and you get an exceptional opportunity for study. Students may enroll at ten conveniently accessible LMU locations in eastern Kentucky and east Tennessee. An expanding catalog of site-based, online and interactive television courses and programs supported by caring faculty permit students to study and complete their degree at various regional locations...or from anywhere in the world.
Lincoln Memorial University offers students a multitude of academic resources, allowing students from all backgrounds to experience a wide range of opportunities.
