Student and Staff Numbers

  • Students: 3,927 (fall 2022)
  • Undergraduates: 3,041 - 3,950
  • Postgraduates: Around 287 to 334 students. To calculate this, we know the total enrollment for 2024 is 3,714 students, and the undergraduate enrollment can be estimated from the total and the freshman class size. However, the exact number of undergraduate students is not provided, so we use the 2022 data for a rough estimate. In 2022, the total enrollment was 3,927, and if we assume a similar distribution, the graduate students would be around 10% of the total, given the increase in new graduate students was 11% but the overall increase was less. Using the 2022 data for a more precise estimate: - Total enrollment in 2022: 3,927 - If graduate students were around 750 in 2022 (as indicated by the context of graduate programs and enrollment growth), - For 2024, with a total of 3,714 and considering the growth, the graduate students would be approximately between 287 (if assuming a lower percentage) to 334 (if assuming a higher percentage or direct proportion). Thus, the range is around 287 to 334 students

Lee University changed my life. I owe SO much to this school & the people here. Lee has been foundation to my transition into adulthood. The people, staff & faculty have literally been there in my most difficult moments. They are invested in your success and academics to the highest regard alongside their deep desire to show you YOU MATTER.

Lee University..the place where you come to get raped financially and literally. STAY FAR AWAY, how far is the most contradictory people I’ve ever seen in my life. They preach kindness, empathy, and compassion but when the rubber meets the road; much like the “real world” no one cares. Go to UTC or UTK!

So dangerous for anyone non-cis/het. Forced religious services, poor campus security, multiple shootings in the area of town during the time I attended. Would never recommend to anyone.

I wish I had chosen elsewhere. Not happy here. It’s been two years. I have good friends, but am shocked at the faculty. Chapels are great, but I can find great services online to watch. It’s pretty miserable here. I definitely regret this college experience. I don’t think a degree and bible is worth it.
