Already honored as a College of Distinction for its high-impact approach to education, LMU has received specialized recognition in business, education and nursing. These additional accolades were borne out of a need for college curricula that are comprehensive not only in course material, but also in practical- and soft-skills development. LMU has met these needs with a blend of liberal arts education, program-specific training, and abundant opportunities for real-world application.
“We complete a thorough review of the programs in question before giving the awards,” said Tyson Schritter, chief operating officer for Colleges of Distinction. “We’re looking for such qualities as accreditation, breadth of program, advising and mentoring, integration of career services, and successful outcomes for students. It’s wonderful to see how Lincoln Memorial University really exemplifies these qualities.”
The LMU Carter and Moyers School of Education is proud to graduate future educators who are not only knowledgeable, but also efficient mentors who provide empathetic support and novel teaching methods. LMU offers a full breadth of education programs from the baccalaureate to doctoral level. The undergraduate teacher education program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in interdisciplinary studies in human learning and development with concentration options including elementary education, secondary education and special education. In addition to a semester of student teaching, LMU students complete clinical observations in schools and develop and host special events for the University on-campus college preparatory school, The J. Frank White Academy.
The accredited programs of the LMU Caylor School of Nursing enable its students to take calculated action even in high-pressure situations. For more than 40 years, LMU has prepared caring, compassionate and capable nurses to serve communities throughout the region. Enrollment in the LMU-CSON has increased exponentially over the last decade with the addition of new programs and concentrations.
