The Lenoir-Rhyne Experience


Your future is full of potential—an LR education helps you unlock it.

At Lenoir-Rhyne, you’ll never be just a number. Small class sizes mean your professors will know you by name and provide the personalized support you need to thrive. You’ll get the close-knit experience of a liberal arts college paired with the real-world preparation of a career-focused university.

You’ll learn by doing—through internships, research, service and hands-on experiences—so you graduate ready for both a meaningful career and a fulfilling life. At LR, you’ll discover your calling and become the kind of leader who makes a difference in your community and beyond.
