Curriculum
The curriculum is intentionally designed to provide students an opportunity to deepen their biblical knowledge and thinking through Bible courses and worldview integration in all courses. Students also take courses in the arts and sciences (sometimes called general education) to develop their understanding of God’s world and his people. The professional courses provide learning in knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to a specific field of study. While courses and syllabi explain the curriculum, the faculty and student interaction ignite the learning and become the living curriculum.

Christian Service
LBC | Capital has a long history of students volunteering in the church and community to live out a biblical worldview and to proclaim Christ. We believe that involving students in service helps to fulfill our academic vision of rooting students biblically, forming their characters, and developing their missional vocations. As students are participating, they are helping God’s people fulfill the Great Commission by proclaiming the good news of Christ’s redemption and are being prepared to pursue excellence in their field of study.

While many students are already involved in their local churches and communities, the Christian Service requirement allows LBC | Capital to understand these contributions and to encourage others who may not be participating to seek out service to grow them personally and to share Christ’s love with others. Additionally, the Christian Service requirement helps LBC | Capital to fulfill the ministry formation standard with our institutional accreditor, Association of Biblical Higher Education (ABHE).

Course Delivery

Hybrid Course: A hybrid course is a course where the students receive faculty-led instruction in a combination of in-person and online learning using the LBC-approved learning management system. For hybrid courses, this usually means the class is split with ½ in-person and ½ online.

Online Course: An online course is a course where the students receive faculty-led instruction asynchronously and exclusively through the LBC-approved learning management system. Most online courses have a live meeting component. Students may either attend live (synchronously) or watch the recorded meeting.

In-person Course: An in-person course is a course where the students receive faculty-led instruction synchronously and on-campus or on-site. All in-person courses use the LBC-approved learning management system to supplement the in-person delivery.
