INTRODUCTION

Mission and Purpose Statement Lincoln Memorial University is a comprehensive values-based learning community dedicated to providing quality educational experiences at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels. The University strives to give students a foundation for a more productive life by upholding the principles of Abraham Lincoln's life: a dedication to individual liberty, responsibility, and improvement; a respect for citizenship; recognition of the intrinsic value of high moral and ethical standards; and a belief in a personal God. While primarily committed to teaching, the University supports research and service. The University's curriculum and commitment to quality instruction at every level are based on the beliefs that graduates must be able to communicate clearly and effectively in an era of rapidly and continuously expanding communication technology, must have an appreciable depth of learning in a field of knowledge, must appreciate and understand the various ways by which we come to know ourselves and the world around us, and must be able to exercise informed judgments. The University believes that one of the major cornerstones of meaningful existence is service to humanity. By making educational, service, and research opportunities available to students, Lincoln Memorial University seeks to improve life for the students it serves. While serving students from throughout the state, nation, and many other countries, the University retains a commitment to enrich the lives of people and communities in the Appalachian region. Revised July 6, 2017; approved by Board of Trustees, November 10, 2017.

Institutional Goals Lincoln Memorial University is a private, independent, non-sectarian University with a clearly defined mission that distinguishes it from other educational institutions. While the University cherishes its heritage and rich traditions, it recognizes that dynamic growth and change are required to meet the needs of today’s students. The University has identified the following institutional goals, which are derived from its mission and reflect its vision for the future: 1. Make educational opportunities available to all persons without reference to social status. The University seeks to maximize enrollment by strengthening recruitment efforts and increasing student retention through the creation of an academic and social environment that facilitates success and rewards achievement. 2. Maintain fiscal integrity in all its activities, programs and operations through concerted efforts to continuously increase its endowment and financial standing. 3. Provide quality educational experiences that have their foundation in the liberal arts and professional studies, promote high personal standards and produce graduates with relevant career skills to compete in an ever-changing, increasingly global market. 4. Advance the Cumberland Gap and Appalachian region through community service programs in continuing education, healthcare, leadership development, recreation and the fine and performing arts. 5. Serve as a critical educational, cultural, and recreational center for the area, and to develop and maintain facilities, which are safe, accessible, and conducive to the development of body, mind and spirit. 6. Attract and retain a diverse and highly qualified faculty and staff, committed to teaching, research and service. 7. Commit resources to support the teaching, research, and service role of the Institution. 8. Support faculty and staff development programs with priority for allocation of resources determined by institutional needs. 9. Increase technology for all educational sites. Specifically, the University seeks to continuously improve its computer and other technological resources for faculty, staff and students. 10. Develop and implement academic programs in response to anticipated or demonstrated educational need, and to continuously evaluate and improve the effectiveness of current programs. 11. Provide a caring and nurturing environment where students, faculty and staff with varied talents, experiences and aspirations come together to form a diverse community that encourages students to grow intellectually and personally to meet their academic and career goals. 12. Provide quality educational opportunities through selected degree programs for students who live or work a significant distance from the Lincoln Memorial University main campus, and for whom other options are not as accessible or satisfactory. The Heritage Lincoln Memorial University grew out of love and respect for Abraham Lincoln and today honors his name, values, and spirit. As the legend goes, in 1863 Lincoln commented to General O. O. Howard, a Union officer, that when the Civil War ended, he hoped General Howard would do something for the people of this area. In the late 1800s, Colonel A. A. Arthur, an organizing agent of an English company, purchased the area where LMU is located. His company built a hotel of 700 rooms called “The Four Seasons,” as well as a hospital, an inn, a sanitarium, and other smaller buildings. Roads were laid and the grounds planted with a wide variety of shrubs and trees. In 1895, the company was forced to abandon its project when a financial panic swept England.

If a student earns below a grade of “B” in a NURS course or chooses to interrupt their NURS course sequence for any reason, a readmission application must be submitted to nursing. Readmission to the BSN program is NOT guaranteed. If a student is readmitted, it is with the understanding that they will not be allowed to continue in the nursing program if another grade below a “B” is earned in a NURS course. If two grades below a “B” are earned in NURS courses, whether in the same semester or different semesters, the student will not be eligible for admission, readmission, and/or progression in the BSN program. Any student with an Incomplete “I” in any nursing course(s) will not be allowed to enroll in subsequent nursing courses until the Incomplete “I” has been removed from the transcript. A comprehensive ATI exam will be administered in the last semester of the BSN Option, and must be passed in order to graduate. See appropriate syllabi for ATI course policy. BSN Program Grading Scale Students must earn a letter grade of “B” or 80% on exam averages for a course in order to be successful in that course. If the student does not achieve a “B” average or 80% on exam averages for the course, other coursework will not be considered. The LMU Grading System is based on a 4.0 scale.

Pre-Art Therapy Curriculum Advisor: M. Giles Students interested in applying for admissions to an Art Therapy master’s program may major in any field. Many prospective Art Therapy students major in Art or Psychology during their undergraduate studies. A strong portfolio of completed artworks and a thorough grounding in visual art is essential to successful admissions at most art therapy programs. There are several core competencies and classes that students will need to consider when planning their degree path. The following curriculum will prepare the student for admission to the program of their choice and ground them in the basic requirements in Visual Art and Psychology. In addition to the requirements of their baccalaureate degree and the completion of the courses stipulated, the student will need to work with their major advisor and the Pre- Art Therapy advisor to be sure that they meet all the requirements for the program of their choice. This may include additional classes to those specified below and the completion of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).
