We are a united community where diversity is respected, where no one is left out, and where everyone finds a place. When you set foot on the campus of CBU, you immediately know you’re somewhere special. Founded in 1871 in the student-cen- tered tradition of the De La Salle Christian Brothers, CBU is rooted in the Lasallian val- ues of scholarship, service, inclusion, faith, and justice. We are proud to welcome stu- dents from all beliefs and backgrounds. At CBU, academic excellence is fostered across a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs. While recognized na- tionally for our strong STEM programs, including engineering and computer sci- ence, we also offer rigorous programs in business, education, and the liberal arts. Our longstanding relationships and dedica- tion to community service enable our stu- dents to secure competitive internships. Recent placements include St. Jude Chil- dren’s Research Hospital, Porter-Leath, Power & Process, Semmes Murphey, the Tennessee Nonprofit Network, Adams Brown CPAs, Wolf River Conservancy, LeBonheur Children’s Hospital, and FedEx. CBU emphasizes hands-on learning, ethi- cal formation, and preparing students for meaningful careers and lives of moral re- sponsibility. Beyond academics, CBU cul- tivates our close-knit campus through various student organizations, an active campus ministry, and NCAA Division II athletics. We encourage you to picture yourself at CBU.
