ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
At Lee, we have taken the most comprehensive, well-rounded liberal arts education and grounded it in God's Word.  Because of this, religion courses complement each major and are required for your completed degree.  By adding a Biblical perspective to your course material, we embrace the concept that all of us, regardless of our occupations, are commissioned to do God's work.

The total development of an individual can be achieved only by building a firm academic foundation.  The quality education provided by Lee University helps with this process.  There are four colleges and schools within Lee: the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Religion, the Helen DeVos College of Education, and the School of Music.
