Distance Learning Education Options
LU’s online programs are especially popular for working adults and active duty military personnel. As part of the State of Texas Grad TX program, LU offers multiple flexible degree completion programs, including an accelerated online bachelor’s degree, designed to help students return to college and earn a bachelor's degree.
Younger students interested in earning college and high school credit at the same time also benefit from LU's online programs.
