Why Choose Liberty University?

8-week Online Courses

Our courses have switched from a 16-week format to a new, revised 8-week* online course format giving you the opportunity to complete your degree sooner. *Some internships and courses will remain 16-weeks in length, but have been revised and are in an online format.

Better Faculty-to-Student Ratio

We have recently added many new faculty members to our university, creating an even lower faculty-to-student ratio to provide more personal, one-on-one attention. Our goal is to ensure that your course and degree experience will be engaging, academically challenging, and personally rewarding. (Undergraduate 25:1; Graduate 20:1)
