Package design, typography 1&2 (O'Brien)
Digital Illustration, web design (Meredith)
Color theory, photography.
I was challenged in the classes.
I wish I had known that there is a lot of fine art classes that have to be taken before one can get to the actual design classes, but I have read it is also like this at art schools. (they do have them listed, I just did not realize what they meant. for example, studio 1, 2 and 3 all fine art classes).
The graphic design professors are great. nice, helpful. Fine art professors are less nice but helpful.
Everything you create could be put into a portfolio to get a job in a few years, so put effort in and apply for internships.
We went on design field trips. one teacher brought creative directors into the classroom to tell us about the company/real world. There is a LU gallery you can apply to work in.

Bible Professor are amazing, encouraging, helpful, know you by name and wave and talk with you after that semester. Loved the Bible classes, they really added to my faith as well as Chapel. So uplifting to go and get to sing every week and hear a dynamic message for a few minutes 2 times a week. SO many people complain about chapel, and I did too the first year, but they really stepped up their material 2018-- and are putting out faith message related to what everyone is going through. So helpful.

Everything is what you make it.
Everyone will find stuff to complain about from everything and even more so when spending way too much money and having high expectations.

However, a lot of the staff members here are rude to you no matter how nice you are to them and act like they'd rather be somewhere else. Also, a lot of the students themselves can be rude. None of the clubs are really interesting and I have yet to find one I would even consider joining. Overall, this school has not been a place I want to be which is why I have decided to leave (thankfully) after freshman year. Hopefully others have had a better time here but for myself, it has been a nightmare.

They are very disorganized but they are getting there. I do believe in a few years they will be where they should be as far as being organized and having the right qualified teachers teaching the classes but as of right now, they just are not. The nursing staff get defensive when students critique the program or certain classes and until they realize that the students just want the program to be better and they let their defensive spirit down, the program won't improve. The school overall isn't too bad but it definitely has a feel of rich people and closed minded, stuck in their religious way type of people.

My " counselor " had a meeting with me and my parents about coming here to study a specific major and turns out almost 4 months into the semester they don't have it. This school also just wants your money, they don't car about your education your just another "LU" number to them. Financial aid will try anything to scam you into having to pay more for example: Secret forms you have to fill out, writing thank you letters, one little misspelled word on your fasfa and now you owe thousands of dollars. DEFINITELY transferring for next semester. Parking is absolutely ridiculous and Faculty and the financial aid office are rude. Don't go here guys. no worth it Thu, 10 Nov 2016 10:50:07 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/TN/DLU_comments.html http://www.studentsreview.com/TN/DLU_comments.html Lipscomb University smothers its students.

There is no original thought or healthy argument in most classes. The few Professors that go around the crazy Church of Christ policies are gems, and their classes are usually the best.

I transferred here from The King's College in NYC, where students were taught that arguments done in a respectful way are healthy and help them to grow and learn. Lipscomb has an "our way or the highway" mentality, which most students don't care about because they either ignore it or were brought up with similar beliefs.

I went into this school knowing it was Christian-based, but I was not aware of just how closed-minded their curriculum is. For example, in my PR class, we have to choose a CHRISTIAN nonprofit company to represent for our final projects. This was a huge conflict of interest for me because although I am a Christian, I feel that it is good for students to branch out into the secular world and learn how to communicate with all kinds of people with all kinds of thoughts and beliefs.

In short, don't go here. Some professors and classes are phenomenal and helpful, but in the end, it is a waste of money if you want a well-rounded view of the world.

P.S.
Their parking is atrocious. Fri, 09 Sep 2016 03:17:58 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/TN/DLU_comments.html
