LBC doctoral students engage during an in-class residency.
For those who want to reach the pinnacle of their educational journey, Lancaster Bible College offers four doctoral degrees with much of the coursework completed in an online format. PhD in Biblical Studies cohorts meet a few times per year in person throughout the coursework phase of the program. The Doctor of Ministry (DMin) and Educational Leadership (EdD) programs are fully online, and cohorts within the PhD in Leadership meet in person for residencies as well.
