Overview
Lancaster Bible College is a Christian college in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, built around a requirement that every student, regardless of major, completes biblical studies coursework as part of the degree. It serves both traditional-age undergraduates and a substantial population of adult and online students pursuing ministry and professional degrees.
Academics
Professional programs in ministry, counseling, education, and communication sit alongside the required biblical studies coursework, with faculty and curriculum shaped by an evangelical Christian worldview throughout. The adult-degree and online divisions are large relative to the traditional undergraduate program and give the college a different institutional character than a typical residential Bible college.
Campus & student life
Campus life centers on chapel, small-group Bible study, and a close community organized around shared faith commitments; students and staff are expected to affirm a statement of faith and abide by a lifestyle covenant.
Getting in
Applicants are expected to share or be open to the college's evangelical Christian mission, and pastoral or ministry references often factor into review alongside academic record.
Worth knowing
The explicit church- and ministry-focused mission makes the college a strong fit for students planning vocational ministry, missions, or Christian education, and a poor fit for those seeking a secular or religiously neutral environment.
