Online Chaplaincy Degrees

Do you feel called to minister on the “frontlines” of the U.S. Armed Forces, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, professional or semi-professional sports, or in corporate environments? Bring the love of Christ into many hard-to-reach places with an online degree in chaplaincy from Liberty University. 

As a chaplain, you’ll have the unique opportunity to pursue a ministry role in a non-ministry setting, providing guidance and hope to those who might otherwise not seek out a Christian ministry. If you want to continue your biblical training and develop in-demand skills in biblical counseling and ministry, Liberty’s chaplaincy programs offer you the training you need.

All of our chaplaincy programs are offered through our Rawlings School of Divinity. And because we are committed to Training Champions for Christ, we want to make it easier for you to complete your program. As a full-time student, you will receive our discounted seminary block rate of $2,750 (applies to 9-15 hours) per semester! You’ll also have the opportunity to take exams for specific course topics to demonstrate your mastery and can potentially cover up to 30 credit hours of graduate content through Liberty’s Institutional Challenge Exams.
