I received a valuable education because of my scholarship. Without it, I probably wouldn’t have entered college only because I didn’t want the responsibility to lay on my parents.
Undergraduate Core Curriculum
The Lenoir-Rhyne core curriculum is an innovative, comprehensive and flexible introduction to the liberal arts and sciences, and is the common foundation of an LR education.
It is designed around ways of knowing the world, big questions both enduring and current, and the growth of a healthy, reflective, and articulate self.
