Lancaster Bible College I Capital Seminary and Graduate School (LBC I Capital) is a private, coeducational Bible college and seminary and graduate school in Lancaster, Pennsylvania that "exists to educate Christian students to think and live a biblical worldview and to proclaim Christ by serving him in the Church and society."
Lancaster Bible College offers a full range of collegiate programming from non-credit courses, to undergraduate, master’s and doctoral degree programs. The college offers several Master of Arts and Master of Education degree programs, along with three Doctorate programs.
In addition to their Lancaster location which houses most of their traditional undergraduate student learning, LBC has six satellite locations that offer accelerated undergraduate degrees for adult students, and/or graduate programs. These satellite locations are in Greenbelt, MD, Philadelphia, PA, Indianapolis, IN, Springfield, IL, Boca Raton, FL, and Memphis, TN.
Founded in 1933 by Henry J. Heydt, the original name of the school was Lancaster School of the Bible. In 1957, the college made the move to its current location in Manheim Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In 1973, the school took on its current name, and in 1981 the Pennsylvania Department of Education gave LBC official approval to offer the Bachelor of Science in Bible degree.
In 1994, LBC's graduate school was approved to award Master of Arts in Bible, Ministry, Counseling, and Master of Education degrees in School Counseling and Consulting Resource Teacher.
