Celebration of graduates started days before Saturday’s Commencement Ceremony in Allen Arena, when Lipscomb awarded 466 students with degrees. On Thursday, Lipscomb awarded the first certificates of career exploration studies to three IDEAL students. And just Friday, seven graduates from the Tennessee Prison for Women received their diplomas. This unique program allows inmates to take courses along with Lipscomb students to earn college credit. In Saturday’s ceremony, 231 students received graduate degrees, two of which were the first recipients of a Master of Fine Arts and Master of Science in Applied Behavioral Science.
