“My research students have the opportunity to do hands-on research as an undergraduate, and they’re getting college credit for it. I have students who haven’t even graduated yet, and they’ll be published by the time they leave here — I never had that opportunity.

“Last semester I was in a show called 'Sander’s Family Christmas.' It was about a family who plays gospel bluegrass music. That was a really cool integration of drama and musicianship. This semester I’m in another show called 'The Rivals.' The theatre department faculty is incredible. Being professors of the arts, they encourage not just dramatic performance, but all arts.

Liberty University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACS-COC) to award associate, baccalaureate, master's, specialist, and doctoral degrees. In addition to regional accreditation, many of Liberty’s specific schools and programs are accredited or otherwise recognized by specialized professional and accrediting agencies.

Liberty is one of only a few national institutions of higher learning that provides all of the following: an ABA-accredited law school, an ABET-accredited engineering program, a provisional medical school accreditation from AOA-COCA, and an FAA-certified aviation program.

Check out www.Liberty.edu/Accreditation to see an exhaustive list of Liberty's accredited colleges, schools, and departments.

Redefining HIGHER EDUCATION

“Liberty’s goal is to redefine what it means to be a prestigious university. We believe that, in the future, the measure of a quality institution will be based on how many students that university accepts and educates well, not on how many students are excluded in the admissions process.

”PRESIDENT JERRY FALWELLThis revolutionary model in higher education requires more effort and even some sacrifice on the part of faculty and staff, but it is a model that makes the education of each student the first priority.
