School Description
Provided by Lane College-JacksonWith strong ties to the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, the College’s mission is to develop the “whole student.” In addition to its priority of academic excellence, the College is also concerned about the student’s spiritual, social, and ethical development. The College believes that spiritual growth is an important part of the development of the individual. Spiritual life at the College is viewed as a quality-filled experience rather than a specific and narrow range of separate activities. Spiritual programs of learning, worship, and service have the purpose of illuminating life and making life more meaningful.
Lane is located in Jackson, Tennessee, on approximately 40 acres. Lane College is a small, private, co-educational, church-related institution which provides a liberal arts curriculum leading to baccalaureate degrees in the Arts and Sciences. The College admits persons regardless of color, sex, religion or national origin.
The future of Lane is intimately tied to its historic past. The College was founded by individuals who were committed to assuring that newly freed slaves would be able to "read, write, and speak correctly." The vocational goals of the first students to enroll at the College were in the areas of teaching and preaching. It was the view of the founders that neither group would be able to influence the more learned individuals in [Library and Learning Center] society unless they had academic, spiritual, cultural, and economic qualifications that were equal to their counterparts.
The College played a significant role in reducing the rate of illiteracy among Negroes in the South in fewer than fifty years. The pool of graduates has expanded to include graduates who have entered most professional disciplines. The College is confident in its future because of its exceptional progress — due in large measure to the advocacy and commitment of its faculty and staff, alumni and friends — all of whom have supported an ambitious agenda of high academic standards, robust support services, new capital improvements, strong financial management, and strict administrative accountability.
While Lane enjoys the solid advantages accruing from a 127-year tradition of educational progress, the College is more confident in its future than ever before. The faculty and staff, under the leadership of the President, have employed a collaborative approach to establishing a revived culture of student-centered, technology-enhanced teaching and learning. This involves viewing students as clients, life-long learners and future leaders, and viewing faculty as life-long learning facilitators who utilize technology as an integral part of the teaching/ learning process.
Students are encouraged and assisted in developing inner strengths and resources needed to follow through and complete tasks, to fulfill responsibilities, and to live by a workable system of values. The College seeks to help all students achieve self-discipline. Lane College offers a balanced liberal education and seeks to continue adding to the variety of its curricular offerings in order to become even more innovative in organization and methodology and to continue to develop the mature, educated individuals needed in an ever-changing society.

Best AnswerHi, I am a recent Lane Alumni. Yes Lane College does have non co-ed dorm rooms available. A mass majority of student receive financial aid.. Almost all students. I did. Lane offers a variety of majors from math to history to business to music. You name is, they probably have it. Yes there are a wide range of fraternities and sororities. For example. Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi ( I think that is right) , Omega Phi Psi, Sigma Gamma Roe, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta and others. I cannot think of any famous people that attended Lane. But I received a fantastic education there. I am alumni from 2006... I k now just last year. Check the college out at: www.lanecollege.edu You will truly get a great education. |
