Lincoln Christian University (LCU) was a private Christian university in Lincoln, Illinois. It maintained extension sites in Normal, Illinois, metropolitan Indianapolis, Indiana, and Las Vegas, Nevada. LCU was affiliated with the Christian churches and churches of Christ.
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]
