I’ve received two degrees from LU. They each contributed to my career and who I am as a person. I enjoy that each program integrates faith and science. I specifically sought out a faith based school/program, which is the most satisfying part of attending LU online.

Liberty University offers my master's program entirely online, which is helpful for a working individual. The semesters are divided into three styles, including shorter semesters, so you do not have to take all four classes at once. A person can take two, then the other two, and still be considered a full-time student, which is helpful if you are using financial aid/loans. I would recommend this university to anyone who is looking to better themselves.

I graduated from Liberty University with my Masters in clinical mental health counseling. The program was online and it was fair but could have been better. I feel like a lot of the help needed in the program regarding exams, intensives, and important information was not told to us. I had to go searching on facebook for groups and ot find support. I did like the curriculum and how they implemented christianity. I do want them to get better with the AI detection. I say this because they would flag... Read More

Although I chose to not proceed in the field of Psychology, the knowledge of human behavior, emotions, lifespan development, and theology that is learned in the Bachelor of Science in Psychology program with Liberty University, has helped me secure a job as an elementary teacher at a private Christian school, and implement such knowledge to build rapport with my students, support them academically in accordance with their stage of development, and encourage their spiritual walks with God.

Liberty was an incredible school to attend to. The academics were good, but overall the experiences that I had there, the friends that I made, and the quality of food and housing makes the experience incredible. It is also very safe and you have access to amazing food and coffee on campus.

I received a high-quality doctoral education at Liberty University. I started my program in 2021 during the scandal of the University's president at that time, so I was initially concerned. Although I am a Christian, I did not enroll at Liberty for religious reasons. I applied to the University due to the program being online, cost per credit hour, and number of start times per year. Throughout my time at Liberty, I received a rigorous education from faculty members who frequently conducted research,... Read More

Liberty University is a fantastic school. I really enjoyed the 8-week class terms. And that I could attend classes through the entire year without having to take breaks (meaning I received my degree in 3 years instead of 4. My only "eh" about it was something I knew about, but not to the degree it was. And that was being a Christian value-based school, religion is incorporated into every class. Military Studies and Math as well to a degree. But as I said, I knew it would be there so at least I was... Read More
All in all, if you are comfortable in this environment, even if you don't practice, Liberty University is a great school to attend. I would only recommend that the school have assistance with job placement for online students as well as in-person students. We also paid a lot of money to go to the school, and that is one perk that many of us need, but don't receive.

I enjoyed my time at liberty university. My degree track was online primarily, but I did have to stay on campus 3 separate times for in person course work. Most professors were very helpful and really seemed invented in the coursework. I personally do not have a bad thing to say about my time at liberty and have recommended them to several other individuals pursuing a similar degree

My experience at this college has been overwhelmingly positive. The campus environment is welcoming, the professors are genuinely invested in student success, and the academic programs are well‑structured and engaging. I’ve felt supported both academically and personally, and the resources available—from advising to student activities—have made my time here meaningful and enjoyable. Overall, it’s a place where students can grow, feel connected, and truly thrive.

Attending Liberty University for my Master of Arts program was ultimately a massive disappointment, failing to deliver the rigorous academic experience expected at the graduate level. From the outset, the curriculum felt incredibly outdated, leaning heavily on superficial discussions rather than deep, critical analysis of the field. Instead of fostering an environment of open intellectual debate, the coursework often felt dogmatic, prioritizing rigid ideological alignment over genuine scholarship... Read More
The online learning platform was equally frustrating, plagued by an uninspired structure that reduced complex graduate seminars to repetitive, formulaic forum posts. Interaction with faculty was minimal at best. Professors functioned more like automated graders than mentors, offering generic, copy-pasted feedback that provided zero guidance on how to actually improve my research or writing. This lack of engagement made the entire program feel like an isolated, self-taught endeavor, completely devoid of the collaborative networking that makes a master's degree valuable.
Administratively, the university was a bureaucratic nightmare. Financial aid processing was consistently delayed, and academic advisors provided conflicting information that nearly disrupted my graduation timeline. The sheer volume of students enrolled clearly stretches their resources thin, leaving individual graduate students feeling like numbers on a spreadsheet. Between the lackluster academics, detached faculty, and frustrating administrative hurdles, the program simply does not justify the high cost of tuition. I strongly advise prospective graduate students to look elsewhere for an institution that truly values academic excellence, critical thinking, and robust student support.

The 91³ÉÈË degree program is fast pace. The classes are only 8 weeks long. The issue is there is not much a break between each class session. It is a lot of work and you need to be dedicate to finish the work load for online classes. You learn everything in 8 weeks vs. how you learn in class session. Also, your instructor is not doing live lessons. You are learning everything on your own research and following directions.

I enjoyed my education at Liberty University. The online preference that they give students to pursue higher education was so valuable considering the average adult working a full time job in the workforce already has their own challenges. Additionally , the quality of theory and practical assignments and projects that are provided to the students during their enrollment, is priceless. You definitely get the same or similar experience to on campus students. Finally, the schools Christian world view... Read More

I loved attending Liberty University and felt a real sense of community. The teachers were very helpful, and you can tell they really care about what they are doing and helping the students. If I were ever struggling, I knew I could reach out to the teachers. And the platform was very user-friendly as far as signing up for next classes, financial aid, etc.
