LBC is Test Optional.

Lancaster Bible College has a test-optional policy for students applying for admission. Students who chose to submit test scores are eligible to be considered for additional academic scholarship.

Students who are unable to or choose not to submit SAT, ACT or CLT scores will not be at a disadvantage in our consideration of their applications. For purposes other than admission, standardized tests may be required. Scores may be submitted after students have received admission and prior to enrollment.

Submission of standardized test scores are strongly recommended for students who need scores to determine placement and proficiency in Math and English prior to admission to the college, as well as for students who are seeking academic-based scholarships. We will continue to consider SAT, ACT and CLT scores as part of the application of students who choose to submit them and will accept self-reported scores for purposes of assessing an application.
