LCC International University, established in 1991, is a nationally and internationally recognized liberal arts institution in Klaipėda, Lithuania. LCC’s educational model places broad-based education within the context of a Christian academic community in order to extend education beyond the classroom. As a part of LCC’s vision to prepare students to participate actively in the life of their home communities, the role of each individual in the building of society is emphasized through active participation in community projects and hands on practicums.
With almost 700 students and staff from 50+ countries, it integrates academic study with the development of Christian character, worldview and vocation in a setting where not many students come to the school as Christians. Using English as the language of instruction, it offers majors in business, international relations and development, communication, English, psychology and theology. The Republic of Lithuania recognizes the school as a bachelor’s and master’s degree granting university.
LCC International University (formerly Lithuania Christian College) was founded in 1991 at the request of the Lithuanian Ministry of Education. Mennonite Mission Network began sending workers to the school in 1995 as teachers and administrators. In addition to their ministry at LCC, Mission Network workers relate to and help provide resources to the wider Christian community in Lithuania and Eastern Europe.
