LCC International University is a Christian liberal arts university located in Klaipeda, Lithuania, founded as the Soviet Union was collapsing in 1991. The vision was big. As a private Christian institution, we began during a window in time when the challenges often seemed beyond us—the cultural and political context hadn’t allowed for “private” or “Christian” for decades, and Lithuania issued an invitation for us to begin a university shaped by a Western, values based perspective.
