If you are:
A stay-at-home mom who is now attending school for the first time
A working professional looking for advancement in your career through a graduate degree
A new student who hasn't been to school in twenty years
Then LCU is just the place for you.
At LCU we understand that many schools don't recognize the specific needs of their adult learners and fail to provide them with adequate resources to achieve their educational goals. We are the outlier-the school that cares for, caters to, and makes possible your dreams.
Here are just a few reasons why you should move LCU to the top of your list.
- Flexible and Convenient: Take Classes On or Off Campus
Time is money. We know you need a wide range of learning alternatives. LCU has a number of online, hybrid, night and weekend, and short courses to suit your needs.
- Online Courses: Take a class at your own pace, from the comfort of your home.
- Hybrid Courses: A blend of face-to-face instruction (typically one to two weekends a month) combined with online learning.
- Nights and Weekends: For those who don't feel comfortable in an online setting, check out our wide range of night and weekend courses.
- Short Courses: Try a one-week intensive course in the summer, or any of our four to six week courses offered year round.
- Daytime Courses: Don't forget daytime course. All of our classes are open to our adult students.

- Financial Aid for Adult Learners
Myth: Adult Learners don't qualify for financial aid
Fact: Many times adult learners are our most qualified candidates.
Every year LCU gives away millions of dollars in scholarships. So why shouldn't you benefit? Apply for financial aid today, or speak with a financial aid counselor to see what scholarships, grants, or loans you are eligible to receive.
- Speak to Your Professors in Person, or by Phone
At LCU you're not just another name in an inbox, like at some online universities. Feel free to call your professor with a question, or better yet, schedule an appointment to meet with them in person.
- Increase Your Income
Let's face it, one of the main reasons for going to college is to increase your income. On average, a master's degree yields around $1.3 million dollars more than a high school diploma over the course of a person's lifetime, while a bachelor's degree yields just under $1 million. Getting a degree from an accredited and highly respected university like LCU can help get you the tools you need to advance in your career.1
- Take Classes with Students Like You:
Going back to school can be tough-especially if you are stuck in a large classroom with a bunch of teenage students who are comfortable with the academic setting. Choose from LCU's many programs catered specifically for adult students to help minimize your chances of taking classes with traditional students. It's no surprise that 96% of our adult student population say that they would recommend LCU to their friends.
- Career Placement
Attend job fairs, get resume help, explore a new career, or network with our 30,000 alumni and friends around the globe.
- Reap the Benefits of Special Amenities to Suit Your Needs.
Take a break in our Adult Learner Commons Area. Study, relax, and socialize with other students like you while enjoying free internet access, coffee, games, or television.
