Further Your Career with a Bachelor’s Degree
Our general studies program is a flexible option for those who are still discerning God’s call on their life.
Rather than preparing you for a singular career path, this program allows you to sharpen your skills in reading, writing and critical thinking – all skills that are needed in a variety of professional settings. You will learn how to communicate effectively and utilize knowledge from many areas of study. This degree requires our core biblical studies and general education curriculum but allows you the flexibility to pick and choose courses that pique your interest by choosing a minor in anything from business, counseling, communication, ministry and more.

The adult program consists of THREE terms:
The fall and spring terms are comprised of 3 course sessions and the summer is comprised of 2 course sessions. A course session runs for SIX weeks or classes and runs back-to-back across all the weeks of the year. Exact dates for each term are available through the Adult Education Office
Students may choose to take their courses either in class, online, or both.
Each student’s path to completion is unique, depending upon the courses you are transferring into the program. The curriculum plan above gives a broad picture of the required credits. If your transfer credits come from mostly one of those areas, you will need to take credits in the other areas. The remaining courses you need for graduation can best be determined after reviewing your transcripts. With flexible electives, Bible and Theology requirements, and General Education requirements, most students are able to transfer to LBC the maximum number of credits.
Credits for Prior Learning. Students can earn up to 30 life experience credits, through the Credits for Prior Learning evaluation process, which will often reduce the time to complete a degree. The life experience credit evaluation process is done after a student begins a program.
As soon as you are ready. LBC has 8 entry points per year meaning you are only ever a few weeks away till the next course starts.
Our LBC Financial Aid Office can help you navigate through the process. Learn more
