Online Masters Degree Programs at LBC
Online learning has changed the educational landscape, especially for lifelong learners who desire to further their education with a post-graduate degree. Even while working, raising a family, serving and more, LBC’s fully online masters programs equip students to take the next step in their education even in the midst of a busy life.
Is there sacrifice and hard work involved? Absolutely. But the flexibility built into our online programs puts a master’s degree within reach. Are you a morning person? Carve out a few hours over coffee to complete your weekly assignments. Or perhaps you’re a night owl. Hit the books when the evening is quiet. As you meet the deadlines within each eight-week course, the specifics are up to you. For our part, LBC is dedicated to equipping industry professionals and ministry leaders to make impact in their fields, both in their communities and across the globe—all from a biblical worldview.
