“Education that prepares and empowers”

“The liberal arts education I received at LCC International University has helped me attain a broad knowledge of how the world works. In addition, the faith-based environment at LCC upholds important values such as honesty, fidelity, renunciation of violence, and unconditional love which have all motivated me to pursue excellence in my chosen career field. My academic experience prepared and empowered me to widen my horizons and deal with diversity and change well. I applied this knowledge while working in Brussels, Belgium in an international organization that promotes human dignity.”
