Hybrid Undergraduate Degrees
Bachelors, Associates & Certificates Offered in an 8-Week Class Format
One Class, One Night a Week.
One evening a week in class might be just the right learning format for you! At LBC, we recognize that the 100% online class format may not fit every student’s learning style. Some individuals prefer the hybrid setting because they do better in a community of learners, have a particular learning style or preference that requires interaction, and/or they like the accountability that weekly meetings and human connection afford. That’s why we offer several of our 8-week undergraduate degree programs in a hybrid class format. Our hybrid in-class options are available at our Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia locations. Let us help you determine if earning your undergraduate degree in a hybrid setting is right for you.
Face-to-Face Instruction
Meet 2 hours each week in person for class instruction at our Washington, D.C. or Philadelphia sites.
Online Learning
Complete learning activities and assignments online within Canvas, our learning management system.

What are the benefits of hybrid learning?
- Face-to-face interaction with instructors and fellow students. You may enjoy the traditional classroom experience where you can interact directly with the professor and build a network for support and friendships with the other students.
- Connect with diverse classmates and faculty from all walks of life who draw from different life experiences, socioeconomic statuses, religious experiences and varied generations. Instructors are not only content experts, but many also actively work in the field.
- Coming on site can provide access to additional student support services and student-led activities. A computer lab and library resources are available for student use. The Ally Center staff can provide one-on-one or in-group academic support when you are on site.
- Small class size can provide a sense of comfort and confidence if you are concerned about getting back into taking classes or using educational technology.
- The hybrid class format allows for some flexibility, as students are able to take some fully online classes as well.
- Each site creates its own unique LBC college community experience—creating a spiritual family with whom you can learn and grow together.
The hybrid format is appealing for adult education students due to the unique opportunity to build personal relationships. Dr. Tanya Solomon, Site Director of LBC | Capital in Philadelphia, says:
“The relationships that students develop with faculty, staff and other students are the secret sauce of hybrid learning sites. These relationships provide academic, spiritual and interpersonal support to students who are juggling many responsibilities as they take on the academic rigors of college. These connections also allow students a safe space to be vulnerable and to grow. Because of the relationships formed, students at our hybrid sites experience prayerful affirmation, edification and community in a way that cannot be duplicated virtually. They essentially become a part of an extended family.”
