We hold particular philosophies "about education and human performance " that create an uncommon university experience. Because ours is not a "plain vanilla" approach, we want you to understand who we are so you can decide if your goals and the Life experience are a good fit. If they are, you're in for an exciting and life-stretching couple of years.

Life University faculty, students and staff share a strong respect for the wonders of the human body. Our vitalistic philosophy recognizes the inborn healing abilities of the body and the inner wisdom that regulates it in a state of health. Interestingly, this philosophy doesn't show up only in our health care majors. It manifests itself throughout the curriculum and even in our administrative decisions. In fact, our commitment to true health is actually what prompted us to become one of the first 100 universities in the nation to join the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment to address global warming.

Atlanta pulses. A little edgy — sometimes a little cocky — this young and dynamic city is serious about work and fun. With more than four million residents from many ethnic and racial backgrounds excited about everything from organic cooking to NASCAR, the nation’s third-largest city has a place for you that will feel just right.

Sure, Atlanta’s weather is to die for with super-long spring and fall seasons, easy-to-take winters and actually pretty reasonable summers (its elevation gives Atlanta a more temperate climate than areas farther south) but Atlanta is really about what you can do, see, hear, feel, watch and experience here.
