LCU provided four year, co-educational, Bible college offerings including Bachelor's degrees.[1][2] LCU's graduate seminary offered Master's degrees (including a Master of Divinity).[1][2] The university also offered continuing education programs at its various sites and online.[3]
In October 2023, LCU announced that it would cease academic operations on May 31, 2024. It now focuses on non-credit education under the name Lincoln Christian Institute. LCU's president, Silas McCormick, primarily attributed the end of its season as a university to a long period of declining enrollment.[4] Ozark Christian College acquired the seminary.[5][6]
