Why Parents Choose Lipscomb
You want your student to choose a university where they will thrive academically, spiritually and socially while preparing to live out their calling.
But you aren't simply helping them pick which institution will be listed on their diploma—you’re deciding which campus culture will shape who they become.

Hear From Lipscomb Parents
“As we researched Lipscomb and then visited the campus, I found Lipscomb to be genuine and sincere about everything they purported to be. Many schools talk about their values and their focus on faith but fail to make it central to who they are as an institution. This is not true at Lipscomb. Never once in any of my visits to Lipscomb have I seen anything that made me question our Lipscomb decision. It is clear that the safety and well-being of the students is first and foremost.”
- John Barron
“It’s all so consistent. The community, the friends that they’re making. At Lipscomb, we feel like we have put this support network around our daughters that you really couldn’t get any other way.”
- Melissa Skidmore
“Lipscomb was able to empathize with me about my greatest fears and anxiety, ‘Can this University partner with my wife and me to transition our daughter from home to an independent Christ-centered adult?’ After our first orientation and tour, we knew we were in the perfect place and found the perfect partner to further develop our child.”
- Glen Richardson
