Education at the Liberia International Christian College (LICC) is shaped by a commitment to Christian faith, academic responsibility, and service to Liberia and the wider world. LICC exists to equip people with the knowledge to serve Christ and to build their nations, and this mission guides how programs are designed, taught, and continually improved.
LICC understands education not simply as the transmission of information, but as the formation of knowledgeable, skilled, and ethically grounded graduates who are prepared for responsible leadership in churches, professions, and civic life.
A Christ-Centered and Invitational Learning Environment
LICC is a Christian institution that serves students from a wide range of religious traditions and backgrounds and employs individuals who support the mission and values of the college. Christian faith is not imposed as a condition of employment or enrollment; rather, it is intentionally cultivated as a shared institutional culture marked by grace, integrity, and thoughtful engagement.
Across campus life, students are invited to explore the Christian faith seriously, to wrestle with its claims, and to consider how faith informs identity, vocation, and service. Faculty and staff are expected to model ethical conduct, servant leadership, and genuine care for students, recognizing that education is both relational and formative.
Christian commitment is expressed not only in chapel services and theology courses, but also in daily interactions, mentoring relationships, and the moral and ethical standards that govern academic and community life.
Integration of Faith and Learning
LICC integrates Christian perspectives into the curriculum in intentional and structured ways. All students complete a core curriculum designed to support spiritual formation and ethical reflection, including courses such as:
- Spiritual Discipline and Formation
- Old Testament Introduction
- New Testament Introduction
- Biblical Discipleship
- Christian Ethics
These courses provide a shared foundation for understanding Scripture, Christian character, and moral responsibility. Beyond the core curriculum, LICC encourages faculty to help students consider how faith relates to their chosen disciplines, professional responsibilities, and service to society.
Academic Rigor and Practical Preparation
LICC is committed to academic programs that meet national educational requirements while responding to the practical realities of Liberia’s social, economic, and professional contexts. Instruction emphasizes both theoretical understanding and applied learning, preparing graduates who can think critically, solve real-world problems, and adapt to changing conditions.
Programs are designed to develop transferable knowledge and skills, enabling graduates to contribute meaningfully in diverse settings and to continue learning throughout their lives.
Formation for Service and Nation-Building
LICC understands higher education as a public trust. Graduates are prepared not only for employment, but for responsible service—to churches, communities, institutions, and the nation of Liberia. Students are encouraged to see their education as a calling to serve others with competence, integrity, and humility.
The college’s approach to education reflects a belief that intellectual development, moral character, and spiritual formation are deeply connected. Graduates are expected to pursue excellence in their work, to act ethically, and to contribute constructively to the rebuilding and development of Liberia.
Continuous Improvement and Shared Responsibility
LICC is committed to continuous improvement in teaching, learning, and academic leadership. Guided by clearly defined expectations for educators and graduates, the college regularly evaluates its programs, instructional practices, and outcomes to ensure alignment with its mission and educational goals.
Education at LICC is a shared responsibility. Leaders, faculty, staff, and students all contribute to a learning community shaped by faith, responsibility, and a commitment to the common good.
