Programs of Study

Flexible, Christ-centered pathways — each one a framework you and your mentor shape into something genuinely your own.

A framework, not a factory

Start with a focus — then make it yours

Every Day Lily program is a starting point, not a script. You choose a focus area that fits your calling, and your mentor helps you build a personalized study plan. Day Lily is a degree-granting Christian college: each program can be earned as a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), an Associate of Arts (A.A.), or a shorter certificate.

Programs & study plans FAQ

Because study is self-paced and plans vary, there’s no fixed timeline. Many students design a plan spanning one to three years of part-time study, but you and your mentor set a pace that fits your life.
Absolutely — that’s the whole idea. Every program is a flexible framework. If your interests shift, your mentor will help you adjust your plan, or move toward a fully individualized plan.
Yes. We’re continually developing new academic programs of study. If there’s something you’d love to study, let us know — student interest genuinely helps shape what we build next.
