Small School. Big Experience.
It's true, Lubbock Christian University is a smaller school. Our smaller size means you will benefit from:
- A nurturing and knowledgeable faculty, and with a student-to-faculty ratio of just 13:1, they will know you and really care about your goals.
- A safe, intimate, welcoming campus and campus community.
- Small classes, most with no more than 20 students, offering you a more personal academic experience.
And in many ways, we're larger than you might imagine. Some of the resources you will enjoy include:
- More than 70 academic programs covering a broad spectrum of disciplines.
- Over $6 million in current campus improvements and updates, including 300 innovative single occupancy student living spaces.
- Guaranteed scholarships for freshmen with an ACT composite score of 18 or an SAT math and reading score of 860.
- More than $23 million in financial aid awarded in 2008-09 to approximately 96 percent of our students.
Academic Achievements
With more than 35 undergraduate majors, a Scholars Colloquium, and an Honors College, LCU has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a Top 20 Comprehensive College in the Western Region.
Character Counts
Whether you choose the tradition of Praise Choir or step up and lead Faith in Action, at LCU your character will form the foundation for your success. LCU was an NAIA Champion of Character Institution and was one of only six Texas schools to be named to the Templeton Honor Roll of Character Building Colleges.
Successful Outcomes
Like so many who have come before you, you'll begin your LCU success story from day one and forever be connected with our impressive network of more than 7,000 alumni. LCU graduates are in high demand. In fact, we have a 96% placement rate for graduates of our education program, and our pre-med students gain acceptance to medical school in a typical year at 85% which far exceeds the national average.
Active Lifestyle
From the team-building hilarity of Master Follies to the outrageous stress relief of TWIRP Week, at LCU you won't have time to be bored. You can choose from more than 25 student organizations and more than 13 intramural sports. Keep fit at the Field House, our newly-renovated 70,000-square-foot recreation facility. Cheer on the Chaps (including our 2009 national champion baseball team) or Lady Chaps (including our 2008 national champion softball team.) Travel the world through study abroad programs. Or take part in a student-led Spring Break campaign reaching points across the country and around the world.
Keeping it Green
LCU is one of the "greenest" campuses in the country, and as a student here, you can help ensure it stays that way. We're innovators in energy conservation, recycling, sustainability, and waste reduction, and we voluntarily seek LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for new campus construction projects.
The Lubbock Experience
When you come to LCU, you will have many choices for shopping, dining and entertaining with 1,800 retail stores, 337 restaurants, 65 public parks, 34 movie theater screens, nine golf courses, and nine libraries, as well as the Preston Smith Lubbock International Airport.
