Program Overview
What makes a city struggle or thrive? How do we shape cities — and how do cities shape us? How can we live harmoniously together in urban spaces? These are all foundational questions that we seek to explore, using Nashville as our primary case study.
A flourishing future depends on our understanding of the complexity of cities and the possibilities they offer. Nashville is full of both — traverse its intricate political, social and economic terrain, and gain hands-on experience with its diverse leaders and neighborhoods. Study a curriculum shaped by public officials, neighborhood activists and business owners. Draw from diverse disciplines to analyze the issues faced by urban areas and create blueprints for a stronger future.
We are preparing grounded leaders for public service, entrepreneurial ventures and nonprofit impact. You’ll have opportunities to live out your faith in a community that extends beyond Lipscomb’s campus. Build bridges: crossing highways and connecting people.

Nonprofit sector
A nonprofit organization furthers a specific social cause or advocates for a shared point of view. Economically, it is an organization that uses its surplus of revenue to further its ultimate objective, rather than distributing that income to its shareholders, leaders, or members.
Government and public policy
Government employees work at federal, state or local levels. Public policy is generally defined as a system of laws, regulations, courses of action and funding priorities regarding a specific topic by a governmental entity or its representatives.
