Why Choose Liberty University’s School of Behavioral Sciences for Your Online EdS Degree?

Are you passionate about serving your community and helping people work through life’s challenges?

Our behavioral sciences EdS programs online are designed to help you blend research, theory, practical application, and biblical truth as you provide counseling services to your community.

If you decide to pursue a doctorate later on, you may be able to transfer your EdS credits into one of Liberty’s corresponding doctoral degrees! Additionally, you can pursue our 100% online EdS programs from the comfort of home and easily access your course materials whenever you need them – so you won’t have to put your life on hold to earn your degree.

At Liberty, our mission is to Train Champions for Christ. We don’t just train counseling professionals – we equip passionate, motivated individuals to serve as beacons of light and hope in their communities. Because we recognize the combined importance of mental, emotional, and spiritual health, we’ve designed our behavioral sciences degrees online to provide a holistic approach to human suffering and healing. Partner with us and learn how to serve people of all backgrounds with wisdom, grace, and care.
