Testimonials:

Being a student at Liberty University is a dream come true...

Being a student here at Liberty University to me is truly a dream come true. The professors are extremely knowledgeable. In addition to that, they treat your email like it's their first priority…As a distance learning student, I am still the same person that I was before I even started school, as I still get to spend time with my family - That's how flexible their program is. I will never forget this moment, prior to signing up with LU, I contacted several different schools and I came to find out that the advisors who answered the phone were also students of Liberty University and they even advised me to stick with Liberty because it's cheaper and more flexible than the school that they were working for.
