Tennessee Temple University

Tennessee Temple University is a four-year private Christian university, with its focus on liberal arts education, located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States. Operating there, also, is Temple Baptist Seminary, the university's graduate school of Christian theology. Lee Roberson led Highland Park Baptist Church in the creation of the Tennessee Temple schools in 1946. Originally a two-year college and Bible school, it soon expanded to a four-year college, Bible school, and seminary. Since September 2000 Tennessee Temple University has been accredited by the Transnational Association of... Christian Colleges and Schools , which is recognized by the US Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. In 2005, Danny Lovett, the former dean of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, became Temple's new president. Three years later, in March 2008, he announced in the chapel services and at Highland Park Baptist Church that the university would, in addition to its residential programs, begin offering distance education programs in the US and throughout the English-speaking world; and also in the countries of Vietnam and Iraq.
