Some 96% of Lenoir-Rhyne graduates are employed or in graduate school within six months of graduation and U.S. News & World Report lists LR as a Top 40 School for Social Mobility and Best Value in the South. 

Don’t let the myths about attending a private university fool you. 99% of our students receive scholarships, grants and other financial aid such as campus work and student loans. After financial aid, a private university can be similar in costs to a public school.
