tudents come to us from all over Tennessee and surrounding states to create a vibrant community of Tigers from all walks of life and in varying stages of their education.

It’s really something you have to decide for yourself. We hope you’ll come to see why so many students fall in love with UofM Lambuth. Campus tours are given Monday through Friday.
