Admissions Statement

The institution admits students regardless of race, color, and national or ethnic origin, and grants all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to all other students at LBU. Further, LBU does not discriminate based on race, color, gender and national or ethnic origin, nor handicap in the administration of its educational and other policies, admissions, disciplinary actions, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Louisiana Baptist University is designed primarily for the mature professional who has earned previous college credit and has significant professional experience. The University's students tend to be more mature, self-motivated individuals that have self-discipline to succeed in an individual study program. Younger students with few college credits are encouraged to enroll in a recognized on-campus program. It is expected that the successful applicant for admission will have attained an appropriate educational level and will have demonstrated professional competence (or such potential) at a level which would prepare him/her for the academic program for which they are applying.
