Our instruction and coursework for all our degrees are in English, therefore an English language proficiency exam (TOEFL/IELTS/Duolingo) will be required for any non-citizen international applicant to show proof of your English language proficiency.
International students seeking to study in the United States for their LBC master’s degree should contact the Seminary & Graduate School admissions office or international@lbc.edu for more information.
