Who We Are
In 1971, the Rev. Jerry Falwell dreamed about world change. He envisioned a generation of professionals in every field who loved God, served others, and were the best at whatever they were called to be. He saw a university on a mountain where this training could happen—and he started to build it.
50 years later, Liberty University is an accredited evangelical liberal arts institution with 15 colleges and schools, over 100,000 students, and 700+ programs of study from the certificate to the doctoral level. Over 450 of these programs are available to students around the globe through our online programs.
Nonprofit with Degrees in the Most Highly Sought After Areas of Study
As a nonprofit university that offers a wide variety of online degree and certificate programs, Liberty understands the value of investing time and money into your education. Standing firm on its established mission to Train Champions for Christ, Liberty is preparing students to serve in today’s workforce.
As part of Liberty’s commitment, the university is dedicated to providing biblically sound, academically excellent online degree programs that prepare students for successful careers.
As a nonprofit (not-for-profit) university that has online college degrees in almost every area of study, Liberty University is not in the business of gaining profit and revenue. Liberty’s online program focuses on the training of competent and skilled graduates, which is in keeping with our commitment to your education.
Nonprofit colleges do not have to worry about paying dividends to their shareholders. Instead, Liberty University invests that money in our online college degrees.
Impact the World
Emphasizing just the right balance between academic theory, research, and hands-on training, Liberty’s unique approach to education means that you will be prepared to not only succeed in your profession of choice but also to adapt and thrive in a constantly changing marketplace.
At Liberty University, you’ll be equipped to do your job well — and you’ll gain the critical thinking, research, data analysis, and communication skills that transfer to a variety of fields, making you an essential contributor in your field and the kind of leader who inspires others.
