A college education should prepare you for more than a career — it should prepare you for life.

That's why the heart of the University of Lynchburg experience is providing you the connections, opportunities (in and out of the classroom), and confidence you need to build a life you’ll love — all in a warm, welcoming culture unlike anywhere else.

At Lynchburg, you’ll not only get the kind of world-class education that produces alumni like Setsuko Thurlow, who accepted the Nobel Peace Prize, or Kevin Scott, executive vice president of AI and chief technology officer of Microsoft. Here, you’ll build connections with faculty, staff, and mentors that can last a lifetime.

"Here, nobody goes unnoticed — there’s always someone looking out for you. I feel like I've been able to stop putting on a show. People here like me for who I am as a person."

- Carrington D. ’27
