Overview
Lipscomb University is a private Christian university in a residential neighborhood a few miles from downtown Nashville, affiliated with the Churches of Christ. Faith is a visible part of daily campus life, including regular chapel attendance, and the university positions itself explicitly as a place where academic and spiritual formation happen together.
Academics
Business, education, and pharmacy and health sciences are long-established strengths, and Lipscomb has also built a well-regarded film and entertainment program that draws directly on Nashville's creative and music-industry economy for internships and industry connections.
Campus & student life
Chapel and other faith practices are a routine, expected part of student life rather than an optional extra, and the campus's proximity to downtown Nashville gives students easy access to the city's music and entertainment scene.
Getting in
Lipscomb's application process looks for fit with its faith-integrated mission alongside academic preparation, and students should expect the religious character of the university to be a genuine, lived part of the experience rather than a formality.
Worth knowing
The film and entertainment program's ties to Nashville's music and creative industry are a distinctive advantage for students interested in that field, and prospective students should be comfortable with the university's Churches of Christ-affiliated faith expectations before enrolling.
