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.
