Academics
Nashville’s Lipscomb University is a private, Christian liberal arts college offering more than two hundred undergraduate majors and minors. This faith-based, service-focused school “does a great job at building relationships [between] students and faculty.” With the university’s SALT (Service and Learning Together) program, among others, the curriculum strives to find “unique and innovative ways to help its students learn” by incorporating service and experiential learning into more traditional courses. Many classes ask students “to go places around Nashville” and then discuss their experiences in class. On the whole, Lipscomb “encourages growth of your worldview” and seeks to ensure that students “have been challenged to think outside the classroom” by “engaging within the community and then engaging with [their] career fields.”
Lipscomb professors “are very involved in your academic life” and they are “always reassuring you and always motivating you to do better.” One student adds, “Not only do they mentor you through the college process, but they also serve as life mentors,” caring “not only about academics but also [the] spiritual life of students.” Others describe the faculty as “energetic, lively, and conversational.” They “show their faith both inside and outside the classroom,” “are super accessible if you need any help,” and “[care] about each individual student as more than a statistic.”
