 Hello and welcome to Virginia University of Lynchburg. I invite you to explore the unlimited possibilities for you at Virginia University of Lynchburg.
Inside the walls of this institution, you will find a wealth of history, a history set in motion by the University’s founding fathers Phillip Fisher Morris, John Mitchell, Jr., Walter H. Brooks, Sr. and other members of the Virginia Baptist State Convention. Inside the classrooms, you will find some of the finest educators in the country, instructors who promote open dialogue and creative thinking in every course.
All over the campus, you will find a very gifted and diverse student body, a student body devoted to the pursuit of knowledge and achievements. In keeping with our motto of "Self-help and Interdependence," VUL is proud to offer higher education to students who may not have the chance to attend larger traditional universities. In a real sense, we see ourselves as the ancient phoenix who recreates itself from the ashes of its past. We invite you to participate in our resurrection.

Mission Statement
Virginia University of Lynchburg seeks to recognize the potential in every human being and maximize the gifts of the individual within the context of a thoroughly Christian and nurturing environment, which offers students opportunities to develop into able leaders and scholars.
This historical African American institution was founded in 1886 to meet the growing demands of area churches for better-educated and trained ministers, missionaries, and public school teachers.
The mission of the school is to provide a solid liberal arts and Christian education program for our students. The University continues to embrace our African American heritage, while appreciating other cultures and ethnic groups in our global community.
