About Lipscomb
In 1891, David Lipscomb, along with James A. Harding, founded this school as a place where faith and learning go hand in hand. More than a century later, that’s still true for the more than 4,500 undergraduate and graduate students who attend. Spiritual formation, academic rigor and professional development—delivered in an environment that cherishes each individual—that’s what Lipscomb University is now and has always been about. And by the way, just a few years after its founding, Lipscomb donated his Nashville farm to the school, the same land where the university grows today. Chances are, he never visualized how those “seeds” would take root!
