Lincoln Memorial University is a values-based learning community dedicated to providing educational
experiences in the liberal arts and professional studies. The University strives to give students a
foundation for a more productive life by upholding the principles of Abraham Lincoln's life: a
dedication to individual liberty, responsibility, and improvement; a respect for citizenship;
recognition of the intrinsic value of high moral and ethical standards; and a belief in a personal God.
The University is committed to teaching, research, and service. The University's curriculum and commitment
to quality instruction at every level are based on the beliefs that graduates must be able to
communicate clearly and effectively in an era of rapidly and continuously expanding communication
technology, must have an appreciable depth of learning in a field of knowledge, must appreciate
and understand the various ways by which we come to know ourselves and the world around us, and must be
able to exercise informed judgments.
The University believes that one of the major cornerstones of meaningful existence is service to
humanity. By making educational and research opportunities available to students where they live
and through various recreational and cultural events open to the community, Lincoln Memorial University
seeks to advance life in the Cumberland Gap area and throughout the region through its teaching,
research, and service mission.
