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 prepared. Classes often asked for the work to be done based on the students' worldview, and even with mine being different than the usual Christian-based university student, I still was treated with respect from the other students and educators.

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've read the other reviews and I'll just say the online degrees are not for everyone. It's a lot of reading and self teaching. For me this is perfect because I don't like being micromanaged and I can divide my time and learning according to my own schedule (mom of 3 here). I also have 9 years experience in my field (sales, banking, customer service, finance) so the material is interesting and repetitive for me so far. I like the 8 week terms because even though it's more rigorous, I only have to... Read More worry about 2 classes at a time instead of 4 or 5 at a time. It also motivates me to follow through; I'm better with mini goals instead of long term commitments. I do like the incorporation of biblical world view. This is one of the main reasons I chose this college. It is a bit of extra work on top of the rigorous 8 week terms, but it's important for me in my personal life to include God in everything. For people complaining about response times from professors and difference of opinions, this is actual real life experience you are getting. I've worked in the corporate world where there are deadlines, slow response times, and different personality types. You need to find what works best in helping you navigate each class and each professor. It this isn't possible, accept your average grade and do better next time or move on to a different college that better fits your needs (and I mean this in the nicest way possible <3 )

I really hate to give liberty a bad review. I had what I thought to be a decent experience with Liberty until I decided to transfer to a more affordable school. Upon doing research for another school I realized just how helpful the academic and financial planning administrators were at every other school I spoke with. Thus making me look back at Liberty wondering why they didn't do more to help me find financial resources to pay for college. They did nothing at all. I thought that was normal until... Read More I experienced something way better with other schools.

I had an excellent experience overall. With online education there will always be one or two courses that could have handled in a better way by the school, but Liberty tried exceptionally hard to avoid any pitfalls. I had many instructors I rated as excellent and only one not as well rated, so I can only give it an excellent based on excellent instructors, good customer service when calling the school for any reason and in their handling of my records. I believe I received an excellent education... Read More while at Liberty, rigorous coursework but excellent program.
