A city that sets its sights high. 

Nashville is full of young minds: over 120,000 college students are enrolled in universities located in and around the region, staking its claim as the “Athens of the South.” That makes it a city constantly being refined, reformed and rethought by fresh perspectives, and a city that wields its heavy influence over culture to challenge and change norms. As a school full of forward thinkers and servant-leaders, Lipscomb is at the heart of this shift, bringing a unique outlook. 

Confident in our faith and eager to engage with the communities around us, Lipscomb takes our model of service learning into Nashville neighborhoods and across the globe. Our Serving and Learning Together (SALT) program opens doors for you to make meaningful connections in local volunteer and nonprofit organizations tied to your area of study, using your vocation to shape the city. 

A head start on the rest of your life. 

Nashville is home to 1.9 million people and more than 40,000 business, setting itself apart as a city that has recently seen unparalleled economic and industrial growth. In fact, over the last three decades, more than 930 companies have noticed the leading role Nashville is taking in the global economy and relocated operations to our city, creating around 485,000 new jobs. 

To that end, Nashville seems to be a magnet for the types of young graduates that new, growing industries seek. The opportunities for high-caliber employment continue to multiply, and you have the opportunity to get a head start and a professional edge. Our well-connected faculty consistently steer students into jobs with some of nashville’s most well-known businesses.
