Benefits of Earning a Master's Degree or Graduate-level Certification

Graduate work provides an opportunity to develop expertise in your current field, or to become qualified in a new area. In the fast-paced, competitive job market of today, a graduate degree or certification can help you stand out from the crowd. Moreover, statistics show that people with graduate work on their resume typically earn significantly more over the course of their lifetime than people who hold only a Bachelor’s degree.

 

What Master's Degrees Does Lubbock Christian Offer?

LCU offers Master's degrees in the following areas:

Graduate Behavioral Sciences

Graduate Biblical Studies

Graduate Education

Graduate Leadership

Graduate Nursing

Online Graduate Programs

 

We also offer a Master’s degree in Social Work through a cooperative effort with the University of Texas in Arlington. Contact Dr. Jill Fuller for more information on this degree.

 

How Long Does it Take to Earn a Master's Degree?

Although the number of hours required to earn a degree varies, some of our degrees can be completed in as few as six semesters*, and all of our degrees currently require a comprehensive exam rather than a Master's thesis.  Some programs may also require an internship or practicum hours to be eligible to apply for certification.  LCU offers several graduate-level programs leading to certification.  These include Post-Baccalaureate Teaching Certification, Secondary Education, Educational Diagnostics, Principalship, Superintendency, Counseling (LPC/MFT), and School Counseling.  Some of these certification programs may require as little as fifteen to twenty-five credit hours.

 

How Can I Work Earning a Master's or Graduate Certification Into My Busy Life?

LCU provides a plethora of enrollment options at the graduate level, with many of the departments using a variation of evening and weekend classes; lecture-based, hybrid or online coursework; and both the traditional sixteen week and the more modern eight week sessions. The flexible schedule and formats allow most students to enroll without making any significant changes to their employment.  In fact, the majority of our graduate students are the full-time caretakers of their children and home, are homeschool educators, or are employed full-time outside of the home.
