See what they’re saying about Liberty University

Since 1971, we’ve had one mission – Training Champions for Christ. That is, and always will be, the core of Liberty University. But as we are increasingly in the public eye of a culture that understands Christianity less and less, it is important that we clearly define what we mean by “Champion for Christ.”

It is an advocate. A defender. Someone who champions living like Christ by displaying gratitude, humility, integrity, joy, love, service, and unity. At Liberty, a champion is a Christ-centered man or woman with the values, knowledge, and skills essential for impacting tomorrow’s world.

Here, all of our courses are taught from a biblical perspective because we don’t just train skilled professionals — we train exceptional professionals who want to make a difference. We believe this focus on ethics sets our students apart from their peers — in fact, many employers seek out our students because of their reputation for trustworthiness. Students from any faith background are welcome to study with us, and many find the experience personally enriching.

Degree completion time greatly depends on the chosen program and the amount of transfer credit you may have. For undergraduate degree programs, the more credits you transfer in, the faster you will complete your degree. You may be able to complete Advanced Placement courses and exams, College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests, Institutional Challenge Examinations (ICE), or you may utilize credit from previous college courses you have taken.

For graduate and postgraduate programs, it depends on the program and the amount of time you have available to spend on your classes. Most undergraduate and graduate degree programs have a certain number of courses that must be completed through Liberty to graduate. Please contact our Admissions Department to learn more.

Please visit the admission requirements page for the requirements specific to your program.

At Liberty University, we understand there are as many learning styles and preferences as there are students, and a one-size-fits-all education is an outdated model. So while classes on campus will give you the hands-on, real-world experience and mentorship you want from our accomplished faculty, you can also earn credit through our easily accessible online courses. These online classes are available to register once you have established a college GPA with Liberty and are offered in 8-week sub-terms with 8 start dates throughout the year that run parallel to the residential academic calendar.
