Continuing Education
Students may enroll part time for undergraduate study at Lebanon Valley College through the Office of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education. Students are considered part time if they are enrolled in 1-11 credit hours per semester.
Continuing Education offers credit programs on four levels: certificate, associate, baccalaureate and advanced professional certificates. Certificates are starter programs that approximate the beginning of a four-year college experience, ideal springboards from which to go on for an associate's or bachelor's degree. Advanced professional certificate programs are intended for persons who have already been awarded a bachelor's degree in one discipline and desire to study another discipline in some depth.
A second bachelor's degree may be awarded to adult students who already have received a bachelor of arts or sciences from Lebanon Valley or another regionally accredited college or university. In such cases, students must only complete the major requirements for the second degree or a minimum of 30 credits, whichever is greater.
Part-time students enrolled through Continuing Education may register for courses offered during the day, evening, Saturday and summer sessions on the main campus in Annville. To obtain copies of course schedules or to get detailed information on all academic programs for part-time students, call 717-867-6213 or toll free at 1-877-877-0423 or write the Office of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education, Lebanon Valley College, Annville, PA 17003-1400. Information is also available through the LVC web site: www.lvc.edu/ce.
A candidate for admission to any of Lebanon Valley College's Continuing Education certificate or degree programs must submit a completed application form with the required application fee. An official high school transcript is required if students have fewer than 24 semester hours of transferable college credits. Students planning to transfer to Lebanon Valley must submit official transcripts of all completed college or university courses. Official transcripts relating to military or business courses also may be evaluated for possible transfer credit. Although candidates may begin taking classes before they have been accepted, they must speak with an advisor before registering for courses. To arrange an admission interview with an advisor, call 717-867-6213 or toll free at 1-877-877-0423. Decisions on all part-time student applications usually are made within one month after the last required transcript is received.
