Lane College is a fully accredited, four-year Christian institution that offers stimulating academic engagement amid an exceptional student experience.  Lane College accepts students where they are and takes them to where they should be through a carefully designed and pedagogically sound nurturing system encompassing academic rigor, social involvement, and spiritual enlightenment. The chief tenant of Lane’s philosophy is that a student’s past performance is no predictor of her or his future achievement and that all students can learn and thrive once the assurance of possibilities supplants the elements of doubt. We are unmistakably Lane…where success reigns…through the fusion of aspiration, toil, learned lessons, persistence and prayer.
