Lee University

   

Lee University is a private, coeducational university located in Cleveland, Tennessee. It is affiliated with the Church of God, which has its headquarters in the same town. The university has its roots in a Bible training academy founded by the denomination in 1918 and still maintains a strong Christian identity. It is located slightly to the northeast of Chattanooga, in the southeastern part of the state.

The institution has seen its strongest growth since the 1980s, during which time enrollment tripled and full university status was attained. With a student body approaching 4,000, Lee is now the second largest private university in the state, behind only Vanderbilt University. Besides religious education, pre-medicine and music are considered among its strongest specialties, and it is consistently ranked by US News and World Report among the top Southern Liberal Arts Colleges.
