Traditional Undergraduate Admissions

LBC is Test Optional

Due to the safety risk of large gatherings and the cancellation of many assessment tests, Lancaster Bible College is adopting a test-optional policy for students applying for admission to the first-year undergraduate class in the 2021-22 admissions cycle.

Students who are unable to or choose not to submit SAT, ACT or CLT scores this year will not be at a disadvantage in our consideration of their applications. For purposes other than admission, standardized tests may be required. Scores may be submitted after students have received admission and prior to enrollment.

Submission of standardized test scores are strongly recommended for students who need scores to determine placement and proficiency in Math and English prior to admission to the college, as well as for students who are seeking academic-based scholarships. We will continue to consider SAT, ACT and CLT scores as part of the application of students who choose to submit them and will accept self-reported scores for purposes of assessing an application.

Application Deadline

A rolling admission with “soft” deadlines. Students can apply and be accepted at any time prior to the beginning of the semester, including their junior year, but they must meet certain deadlines. Listed below are dates by which applications and all required documentation must be submitted in order to receive equal consideration with other applicants. Early Action candidates are given priority consideration for LBC’s academic and need-based scholarships, and federal and state aid, as they indicate their self-leadership and serious consideration of LBC to those reviewing their file.
