The Lynchburg academic experience is designed to guide you toward self-discovery and the development of your unique talents and abilities, no matter your career aspirations. We offer a comprehensive support system through a network of exceptional programs and resources tailored to your needs.
Our academic foundation is deeply rooted in the liberal arts, equipping graduates with essential skills such as critical thinking, discerning argumentation, quantitative reasoning, and effective communication. This strong foundation is complemented by a diverse range of major programs, allowing students to delve into their chosen fields of study, often pursuing double majors or combining a major with a minor for a well-rounded education.
For those invited to join the Westover Honors Program, an enriching learning community awaits. As part of this program, academically gifted students live and study together, forging lasting bonds that extend far beyond their time at the University.
Our distinctive University of Lynchburg Symposium Readings courses foster critical thinking by immersing students in conversations with the greatest minds of the past. All Lynchburg students participate in our unique Senior Symposium, a one-semester, senior-year course centered on “great books” and “great issues.”
We strongly encourage students to explore our study abroad opportunities, ranging from week-long travel courses to semester or year-long experiences. Additionally, we promote internships related to major programs and courses that emphasize service learning, enriching your education beyond the classroom.
The University of Lynchburg provides extensive academic support services, some seamlessly integrated into the curriculum as courses. You can rely on Academic Advising, the Center for Career Engagement Opportunities, the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources, the Knight-Capron Library, and the Wilmer Writing Center, among others, to help you succeed.
We invite you to embark on the Lynchburg academic experience, where you’ll find comprehensive support, diverse learning opportunities, and a nurturing community that empowers you to reach your full potential.
