Lincoln Memorial University
Lincoln Memorial University is a private, four-year liberal arts college located in Harrogate, Tennessee. Founded in 1897, the university was established to honor the memory of America’s 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, who, as legend goes, expressed a wish to General O.O. Howard for a university to be built in this area after the Civil War had ended. To honor this request, General Howard with the help of congregational minister A.A. Myers and owner of then financially strapped Four Seasons Hotel A.A. Arthur established the Lincoln Memorial University in the site of the former hotel on February 12, 1897.
Today, the university continues to provide educational opportunities to the residents of the area and has produced over 700 alumni actively involved in the field of law and medicine. It offers a comprehensive liberal arts core curriculum and over 30 academic majors ranging from accounting to wildlife and fisheries management in its main campus in Tennessee and in 12 extended sites in surrounding areas.
For its graduate degree programs, it offers Master of Business Administration, Education, Nursing, Medical Sciences in Physician Assistant Studies, Educational Specialist, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Doctorate in Executive Leadership and Juris Doctor.
