Overview

Lubbock Christian University is a small university in West Texas affiliated with the Churches of Christ, combining a faith-centered community with the practical advantage of sharing a city with Texas Tech University, whose larger resources and amenities sit just minutes away.

Academics

Education, nursing, business, and biblical studies are the university's core programs, taught in small classes that give faculty room to work closely with individual students — a different experience than the large lecture format at nearby Texas Tech.

Worth knowing

Proximity to Texas Tech is a real, practical benefit rather than just a location note — students can access a major research university's library, events, and city life while still getting a small, faith-centered college experience day to day.
