Overview

Liberty University is one of the largest and most prestigious faith-based colleges in the United States. This private, non-profit Christian university, located in Lynchburg, Virginia, combines traditional American academia with a Christian values based education. Such a faith-based education can provide individuals with both the academic and moral foundation for a successful and purpose filled life.

Academics

Classified as a doctoral research university, Liberty’s enrollment includes 15,000 residential students and over 100,000 online students. Liberty University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award associate, bachelor’s, master’s, specialist, and doctoral degrees. With over 500 unique programs of study ranging from its 350+ residential, 200+ undergraduate, 140 graduate and 4 doctoral programs across its 16 colleges (and learning options available online or on campus) students can pursue essentially any field of interest across multiple educational delivery platforms.

Social Life

Despite its identity as a faith-based institution, Liberty University provides an open setting for social interaction of diverse individuals from all different backgrounds. The campus is alive with a youthful energy, support for its football, basketball and other collegiate sports teams, and a community of interaction and understanding. A passion for Christian values and God’s message is what ultimately ties the campus community together, creating a uniquely bonded student body.

Campus

Liberty University takes its student on campus experience to the next level with its Recreation Centers, Intramural Sports, Student Activities, and Outdoor Recreation departments. With numerous clubs to join as well as counseling and religious groups available to students, the opportunity to make life-long friends and stay involved with the campus community is ever-present. Whatever the student’s respective interests, Liberty ensures that there is an outlet and opportunity for each scholar to find activities and a meaningful life outside of the classroom as well.

Final Review

While a faith-based education may not be for every individual, it is indeed a unique experience for those searching for both scholastic and spiritual growth opportunities from their university. As such, “The process of teaching and learning, involves the whole person, by developing the knowledge, values, and skills which enable each individual to change freely,” a pillar of the Liberty University mission.
