Four ways LCU helps students plan wisely.
The right cost picture depends on your program, transfer credits, pace, and payment plan. Start with a conversation, not a guess.
Transfer credit review
Bring prior college work for review and reduce the time and cost needed to finish your degree path.
Prior learning consideration
Documented ministry experience, training, military service, and certifications may support a portfolio review within catalogue limits.
Payment plan options
Monthly plans help students begin without carrying the full tuition cost at one time.
Choose your pace
Self-paced does not mean unsupported.
LCU courses are built for adult learners. You can plan a pace that fits your life while staying connected to advisors, faculty feedback, and clear milestones.
Accelerated
For students with more weekly margin who want to move quickly through a focused course load.
Steady
A balanced rhythm for working adults, church staff, parents, and ministry volunteers.
Extended
A gentler pace for demanding seasons, ministry travel, family needs, or bi-vocational schedules.
