Key Facts

This program of study is for students who wish to perform at a high artistic level, prepare for graduate school, or work in the arts. Founded in 1842, Cumberland University holds a unique place in American history as one of the oldest liberal art universities in the South. Founded by leaders of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Cumberland established a Law school, the first in Tennessee west of the Appalachian Mountains, a school of Engineering, and a school of Theology during the mid-1800s. Cumberland was impacted by The Civil War when University Hall was burned to the ground during Union occupancy. After the destruction, a student wrote across a ruined Corinthian column the Latin word Resurgam, which translates to "I will arise". Thus, from the ashes, the mythical phoenix became Cumberland's enduring symbol which inspires the University to rise, endure, prosper, and illuminate the world. In 1892, Cumberland moved to its present location.
