School Description
Provided by Lenoir-Rhyne UniversityIn pursuit of the development of the whole person, Lenoir-Rhyne College seeks to liberate mind and spirit, clarify personal faith, foster physical wholeness, build a sense of community, and promote responsible leadership for service in the world.
As an institution of the North Carolina Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the College holds the conviction that wholeness of personality, true vocation, and the most useful service to God and the world are best discerned from the perspective of Christian faith.
As a community of learning, the College provides programs of undergraduate, graduate, and continuing study committed to the liberal arts and sciences as a foundation for a wide variety of careers and as guidance for a meaningful life.
L-R is a comprehensive liberal arts institution, enrolling some 1,500 students in more than 60 undergraduate degree programs and master's degree programs in the fields of business, counseling and education. With its Evening College, Lenoir-Rhyne strives to serve the non-traditional population.
The primary concern of Lenoir-Rhyne is development of the whole person. To that end, all students regardless of major must complete 56 hours of core courses comprising arts, sciences, social sciences, religion and language.
At L-R, the classroom is simply a starting point. As a student here, you'll learn how to take what you know and effectively apply it in the world. This is experiential learning at its best. This is real!
With an average class size of 17 -- the norm at LR -- you will genuinely get to know your professors, and they'll get to know you. You might find youself invited to dinner to meet your professor's family. Or even asked to play a round of golf.
Our faculty members also frequently invite students to work with them on research. More importantly, they'll help you develop, produce, and present your own work.
L-R professors help you rise up -- and make the most of every minute of your education.
Some of the most meaningful learning occurs outside of the classroom. At Lenoir-Rhyne, we seek to develop the whole person. We believe that wholeness is the result of involvement in a wide variety of intellectual, social, spiritual and physical experiences. Indeed, students who take full advantage of the broad array of activities, services and events offered by the L-R community experience the fullness of their educational endeavor.
Money magazine has called Hickory "One of the Best Places to Live" in the United States. Hickory has also been nominated as an All-America City three times.
If you're a nature lover, you couldn't be in a better spot. Hickory is close to the Appalachian Trail, Lake Hickory, Lake Norman, and ideally situated for hiking, biking, kayaking, sailing, you name it. For more urban entertainment, it's an easy drive to Asheville, Charlotte, or Greensboor. Even Atlanta is only about four hours away.
