Lancaster Bible College (LBC) is a private, coeducational Bible college 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. ==History== Founded in 1933 by Henry J. Heydt, the original name of the school was Lancaster School of the Bible.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.princetonreview.com/LancasterBibleCollege.aspx )〕 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. In July 2012, LBC announced the launching of a Philadelphia campus through its partnership with the Center for Urban Theological Studies (CUTS). "The new partnership creates the Lancaster Bible College at CUTS program (LBC@CUTS ), one that establishes a satellite campus enabling students who attend CUTS to receive accredited LBC diplomas beginning in September. CUTS organizers also have plans on consolidating its academic and administrative offices into one location: the former Tastykake factory in Hunting Park." In August 2012, the college's $12-million Student Learning Commons was opened during Commencement for the 2012-2013 academic year. "The () building is fitted with three new classroom spaces, 11 collaborative study spaces, (Charles and Gloria Jones Library ) with more than 300,000 items, a music media lab, a writing center and disability services. The new structure utilizes environmentally sustainable features such as use of daylight, high-efficiency lighting and geothermal heating and cooling. Another feature of the student commons is the Bennee's Bistro, which offers food and beverages, outdoor patio seating and a hospitality suite available to outside groups." In January 2013, Lancaster Bible College announced that it had acquired the academic programs of Washington Bible College and Capital Bible Seminary in Greenbelt, Maryland. The Maryland extension is called Capital Seminary and Graduate School. "It will serve adult learners in non-degree and graduate education courses, available in traditional, online and blended formats." This latest initiative is part of the Bible.edu system of biblical higher education "committed to training Christian leaders for global impact."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://bible.edu/ )〕 Since that time, LBC has added satellite locations at Indianapolis IN, Springfield IN, Boca Raton FL, and Memphis TN offering a limited number of graduate or undergraduate degrees. In early 2015, LBC is planning on beginning construction of the Charles Frey Center, as well as construction on a new dorm building. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lancaster Bible College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
