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.
No matter your ambitions, dreams or goals for the future, you’ll find your new home and path to success at LR. With a wide range of degree programs, you’ll soon discover a life-changing experience at Lenoir-Rhyne.
The highlight of my LR experience was traveling to Ireland with LR A Capella. Visiting the Cliffs of Moher, Dublin, Belfast and Galway were some of the best experiences of my life.
