Online Degree Experience at Lancaster Bible College & Graduate School

Just as our on-campus Degree Completion Program, our online courses are in an accelerated format. Accelerated refers to the fact that, not only are the courses fast-paced, but students earn college credits in a shorter time frame than semester-based courses. Each course is just five weeks in length and three semester credits are earned per course. You must have 45 prior college credits to qualify for our Degree Completion Program.

You can complete the entire program online and there are no on-campus requirements.

Life Learning Credit

Besides taking courses, Degree Completion Program students can receive additional credits for prior life learning.

These credits can be from a number of different sources, including military training, workshops, seminars, self-study, noncredit classes, licenses, training programs, work/ministry experiences and by examination. Please note that it is the learning from these sources that is evaluated and results in credit hours being awarded.

Adult Friendly Online Degree Program

Instructional modules are scheduled in a way that allows you to fit the program into an already busy lifestyle. In fact, students enrolled in the online program can complete their weekly assignments at times convenient to them. One module is taken at a time and each student will have a flexible schedule created to meet our graduation requirements.
