Lane College, located on a scenic 53-acre campus in Jackson, Tennessee was founded in 1882 by Bishop Isaac Lane, a former slave. Lane College is proud to be one of the nation’s oldest historically black colleges and the first four-year institution established by the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. Lane College ensures students graduate with as little debt as possible by awarding more than 30 million in financial aid. Consumers Digest ranked Lane College as one of the Best Value Colleges in the nation. In the 2011 US News and World report “America’s Best Colleges” Lane College was ranked as one of the National Liberal Arts Colleges that graduates students with the least debt load. The College has several buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic places and was selected as one of the five most beautiful HBCU campuses in the nation. The most recent construction includes an ultra modern, state of the art Science and Business building that was opened for use fall 2009 and a Music building that opened in fall 2010. It is also committed to preparing students through its liberal arts curriculum to assume meaningful positions or to pursue graduate studies; hence it is home to a host of undergraduate programs for traditional and non-traditional students in the Lane Evening Accelerated Program (LEAP). Lane College guides students through programs of intellectual experiences which helps them to identify and develop their “Power of Potential”.
