On-Campus Transfer Students
Lancaster Bible College Welcomes Transfer Students!
We are committed to helping you achieve your future goals, through integrating your previous educational experiences with our curriculum here at LBC.
Before Applying
Before you apply to LBC, we want to let you know exactly what credits you can expect to transfer! Some of our majors, like Biblical Studies, are more ideal for transfer students, as they are designed with more elective credits.
To start a transcript evaluation, fill out our transfer inquiry form OR email your official transcript to admissions and include your name, desired major and name of the college you’re transferring from.
After Receiving the Transcript Evaluation
The next step is to apply! Transfer students can apply using our traditional undergraduate degree application and selecting “transfer” on the form.
What to Submit After Applying
Transfer students will work with an admissions counselor, who’s trained to help them transition here smoothly. The following documents are needed for transfer students:
High School Transcript
College Transcript – 15 transferrable credits
Autobiography
Spiritual Life Reference
