What Academic Programs and Areas of Study Does Louisiana Christian University Offer?
Updated
Louisiana Christian University (lcuniversity.edu) offers more than 60 academic programs spanning undergraduate, graduate, and certificate levels. If you're trying to figure out whether LCU has a fit for your goals, the fastest path is the program search tool on the site, which lets you browse by keyword or by interest area rather than scrolling a single static list. The sections below cover what the site states about program scope, how to search it, and what to confirm before applying.
Program scope at a glance
The university's own "At A Glance" figures frame the academic offering:
| Indicator | Figure |
|---|---|
| Programs of study | 61+ |
| Enrollment | 1,062 |
| Student-to-faculty ratio | 10:1 |
| Students receiving financial aid | 90% |
| NAIA sports teams | 9+ |
| Student organizations | 13+ |
Two things are worth reading from this table. First, the 61+ program count is the headline number for academic choice, and it covers three credential levels — undergraduate, graduate, and programs & certificates — not just bachelor's degrees. Second, the 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio is the figure most relevant to how a program actually feels day to day, since smaller ratios generally mean more direct access to instructors within a major.
How the program search works
The site's academic search is built around two entry points, and the distinction matters for how you use it:
- Search by keyword. Type a subject, field, or program name into the search field. This is the right approach when you already have a specific term in mind — a major name, a discipline, or a credential type.
- Search by interest. Browse based on your interests instead of a fixed term. This is the better entry point when you know the kind of work you want to do but not what the program is called.
Both paths lead to the same catalog of programs, and the site also exposes a "View All" option that lists the full set of undergraduate, graduate, and certificate offerings in one place. If you're early in the process and don't yet have vocabulary for the field, start with the interest-based route; if you're comparing a named major against alternatives, keyword search is faster.
What to confirm before you commit
The program count and search tool tell you what exists, not what fits you. Before applying, verify the details that the homepage-level figures don't cover:
- Degree and credential type. Confirm whether a given area is offered as a major, a minor, a graduate degree, or a certificate — the 61+ figure blends all of these.
- Program requirements. Course sequences, prerequisites, and credit totals live on individual program pages, not in the summary counts.
- Delivery format. The site surfaces a "Virtual Campus" entry point alongside on-campus admissions, so check whether the specific program you want is available in the format you need.
- Current details. Program lineups change. Treat anything you read here as a starting point and confirm specifics on the official program page or with admissions directly.
Practical next steps
If you're evaluating LCU as a prospective student, a workable sequence is: run an interest-based search to build a shortlist, switch to keyword search to check specific program names against that list, then open the individual program pages to compare requirements. From there, the site offers a Request Information form and an Apply Now path, plus a calendar of admissions and registration dates if you're working against a term deadline.
