Value. It’s a small word, but it can mean big things. We would argue that the value of a Lenoir-Rhyne education far exceeds its price tag. We also recognize that a college education is often one of the most significant investments you make. In our view, affordability should not be a barrier to earn your master’s degree.

One thing I like here is that you get a lot of options. Since LR is a small school, you get a chance to be a part of everything. You can be part of many groups. Being engaged for me is a big deal.
