Testimonials:
Liberty is convenient, and flexible with my schedule.
When I wanted to finish my degree, I needed a quick, affordable way to do it. Liberty has fulfilled all the requirements. The staff has been extremely friendly and helpful when it comes to helping me with class choices, and problems that arise. I live in Okinawa Japan, and I have found that studying online at Liberty has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. It's convenient, and flexible with my schedule. With a 14 hour time difference, convenience and flexibility are the most important factors. I'm glad that I chose Liberty.

The information supplied by Liberty University professors is very helpful.
I have been in law enforcement for over 31 years and have been fortunate to rise to the level of Deputy Chief of a 250+ officer department... I have found the information supplied by Liberty University professors to be very helpful in day to day responsibilities. The distance learning format has kept me busy but not overwhelming. Combined with the spiritual aspect of the classes provides me the opportunity to expand as a student and person. Thanks.
