Academics

Nashville鈥檚 Lipscomb University is a private, Christian liberal arts college offering more than two hundred undergraduate majors and minors. This faith-based, service-focused school 鈥渄oes a great job at building relationships [between] students and faculty.鈥 With the university鈥檚 SALT (Service and Learning Together) program, among others, the curriculum strives to find 鈥渦nique and innovative ways to help its students learn鈥 by incorporating service and experiential learning into more traditional courses. Many classes ask students 鈥渢o go places around Nashville鈥 and then discuss their experiences in class. On the whole, Lipscomb 鈥渆ncourages growth of your worldview鈥 and seeks to ensure that students 鈥渉ave been challenged to think outside the classroom鈥 by 鈥渆ngaging within the community and then engaging with [their] career fields.鈥

Lipscomb professors 鈥渁re very involved in your academic life鈥 and they are 鈥渁lways reassuring you and always motivating you to do better.鈥 One student adds, 鈥淣ot only do they mentor you through the college process, but they also serve as life mentors,鈥 caring 鈥渘ot only about academics but also [the] spiritual life of students.鈥 Others describe the faculty as 鈥渆nergetic, lively, and conversational.鈥 They 鈥渟how their faith both inside and outside the classroom,鈥 鈥渁re super accessible if you need any help,鈥 and 鈥淸care] about each individual student as more than a statistic.鈥

Student Body

Those who attend the 鈥渞elatively small鈥 Lipscomb are 鈥渉ighly driven, passionate, and individualistic,鈥 and 鈥渢here is an evident community among the student body.鈥 One student shares, 鈥淚t's comforting and reassuring to be able to walk around campus and pass people who smile at you or say 鈥榟i鈥欌攄espite whether or not you know them.鈥 The school has a 鈥渨ide range of religions and ideas despite it being a Christian university,鈥 although many students here 鈥渁ssist at church or are involved in some form of spiritual leadership.鈥 Overall, 鈥渢here is an appreciation of authenticity across the board and that really discourages a lot of misconduct鈥 on campus.

Campus Life

For students here, 鈥渄oing homework is a way of hanging out with people,鈥 so you鈥檒l find them studying either at the library or 鈥渙utside when the weather is nice.鈥 When undergrads 鈥渁ren鈥檛 in class or at work they usually congregate in the student center,鈥 which is 鈥渘ormally packed鈥攊n a good way.鈥 Off-campus, there 鈥渁re constantly activities around Nashville,鈥 and the 鈥渘on-party environment鈥 of this 鈥渟afe, small鈥 campus is also privy to 鈥済enuinely enjoyable events and plenty of smaller communities to choose from,鈥 including 鈥淪alsa in the Square or dodgeball every weekend.鈥 The school itself is 鈥渁lways very clean and on top of things. They see tasks that need to be done and start immediately.鈥
