At Lipscomb you can expect to be challenged, but not without purpose. We take patient care seriously and our record proves it. Whether it is the #1 ranking in the state of TN for the Pharmacy NAPLEX pass rate, the 97% NCLEX pass rate for Nursing students, or the 100% job placement rate in all the health science programs, Lipscomb is serious about educating health care providers. You will learn from and be mentored by innovative and inspiring faculty, who are experts in their field and have a passion for teaching. They bring clinical knowledge to the classroom from their own patient care experiences.

Lipscomb’s location in Nashville, the health care capital of the nation, means we can provide you with experiential practices sites of the highest quality and variety.

I welcome you to join us on campus to learn about how this health care community can impact your life.
