Founded in 1893, Johnson University is a private, coeducational institution offering associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctor's degrees. Johnson educates students for Christian ministries and other strategic vocations framed by the Great Commission in order to extend the kingdom of God among all nations. The University began as a preaching school, and over the years the programs have expanded to include many different avenues of modern evangelism. In keeping with our tradition of providing a quality Christian education at an affordable cost, we are also one of the least expensive private universities in Tennessee.
