Mission
LEE UNIVERSITY IS A CHRISTIAN INSTITUTION WHICH OFFERS LIBERAL ARTS AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION ON BOTH THE UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE LEVELS THROUGH RESIDENTIAL AND DISTANCE PROGRAMS. WE SEEK TO PROVIDE EDUCATION THAT INTEGRATES BIBLICAL TRUTH AS REVEALED IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES WITH TRUTH DISCOVERED THROUGH THE STUDY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES AND IN THE PRACTICE OF VARIOUS PROFESSIONS. A PERSONAL COMMITMENT TO JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR IS THE CONTROLLING PERSPECTIVE FROM WHICH OUR EDUCATIONAL ENTERPRISE IS CARRIED OUT. THE FOUNDATIONAL PURPOSE OF ALL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AT LEE IS TO DEVELOP WITHIN THE STUDENTS KNOWLEDGE, APPRECIATION, UNDERSTANDING, ABILITY, AND SKILLS WHICH WILL PREPARE THEM FOR RESPONSIBLE CHRISTIAN LIVING IN A COMPLEX WORLD.
