Masters of Arts- Teaching
October 1, 2009
I received my Bachelors of Science from Liberty University through the onlne program. The classes are pretty tough but what are you to expect. I am now enrolled in the Master's of Arts- Teaching program and it is a rigorous program. However, I am very pleased with the school!
Great DLP
August 19, 2009
This is a great university for anyone, especially military. I have enjoyed my time at Liberty. I will say that the online classes can be very challenging but are so worth it. I know when my degree is complete I will be able to feel comfortable in any management position. ...
BS from LU
July 19, 2009
I have completed my BS in psychology from Liberty University. The curriculum was tough, but good (in most classes). It is NOT an easy program. The most progressive class (in the new 8-week format) was biology. The book was online (e-book). There was plenty of interaction with others, and plenty ...

Liberty University has been a great educational experience. I have completed a BS in Business Management and am finalizing a Masters in Management. I can not say any bad comments, I've loved the interaction, I've gotten great feedback, and I've had great interactions with other students in the group projects.
Liberty's DLP program offers 8 week semesters, allowing you place all your focus on 2 to 3 classes over 8 weeks instead of 4 to 6 classes over 16 weeks.

Did anybody get an EDD at Liberty? I have an EdS in instructional technology, and I am considering pursuing an EDD at either Liberty or NorthCentral. I have already been accepted by NCU, but they have only transferred 12 out of 27 EdS credit hours. Liberty claims to accept all EdS credits,as long as the school is accredited. Did anybody manage to transfer all of the EdS credits towards an EdD at Liberty?
Ben May 2, 2008 at 5:30 a.m.
Angela,
I work at the school, in addition to trying to finish up my Masters in Human Services. We do in fact accept all EdS credits from accredited schools, in the same fashion that an AA will roll into a BS, etc. Feel free to contact me at bplarkins@liberty.edu to find out more regarding the program!

They call you every day asking you to register...

I have a two questions on the MA in Human Services and grad work in general.
First, does Liberty have a good online library for researching and downloading (or at least reading full text) journal articles? If not, what resources do they provide, if any, to assist the distance student in research?
Second, I have been reading the course guides, and have a specific question on HSER 511 Group Dynamics, if anyone can help, maybe you Ben, (and yes I know the professor is the person to ask for a real answer, but I am not enrolled at this time). Is the small group you organize and lead something you have to do face to face in your community (what if no one shows up for it?), or is it an online interactive group within the classroom? This would affect when I enroll and the order I plan to take the course.
Thanks!

I am enrolled in Liberty University, Distance learning. I'm only in my first semester, criminal justice. The enrollment process was trying , but I'm glad I done it. So far, it has been great, the staff has been very nice and are quick to respond to emails and even on the phone. My proffessor is great. He answers our questions via email very promptly. He is very encouraging and stays on top of our assignments. At first it was hard to understand how to access it all online, but once I got the hang of it, it's fine. And being able to respond to other students in the discussion board is great. I also love the Christianity. So far, I love it. It is not easy and you do have to do the work, but I really feel like this degree will be worth it. I love Liberty, i wish I could go on campus.

I enrolled in the MRE (Masters of Religious Education) online in August. I have nothing to say but positive things. My mind has been stretched and challenged. I love the experience that I am receiving there. It is an intense program but I am learning so much.
I was a little apprehensive about starting because of the reputation that Liberty holds with some people. I must say that I have had nothing but a TRUTH experience when it comes to Evangelism and Theology.
I am glad this program is online. It makes it possible for hardworking adults to get the education they want and deserve.

I have enrolled for a bachelors degree in religion online at LU. Can anyone tell me the format of the classes? Do i have to log on at a specific time each day and are the classes on certain days of the week?
Al October 13, 2008 at 4:17 a.m.
Chris, there are posting and assignment deadlines, but you can do everything according to your own schedule.

I completed my M.A in Human Services at Liberty and the experience has been great. I'm interested in purusing the ED.D, does anyone have any experiences (good or bad) to share?
Pat Mcdoogle November 15, 2008 at 2:59 a.m.
Liberty gives free education if you work there full time. You will probably make 8.00 an hour but you will get a free degree. Trust Me I work with a bunch of bums that just work on there degree and don't actually work.

I have been enrolled with Liberty U's distance education program for almost 2 years now in persuit of my Bachelors in business. I earned my Associate's from Troy U's distance ed program and left as quickly as possible! My wife and I visited the campus in Dec of 2006 and was very impressed. It has been a great experience except for a couple of courses. I've had a couple of professors that were unorganized and provided little communication. Other than that, it has been a great experience. Their online library is terrific and their support staff has always been helpful. The schools is very dedicated to its military students and provides $100 towards books for each class. I plan on graduating in Dec 09 and I'm currently leaning towards enrolling in their graduate school.

I didn;t expect much from an online degree program, but Liberty really changed my mind. The courses are very challenging and the service is excellent. I am very, very satisfied with the program and educational value.

Is Liberty University an acceptable school for a non-Christian? I have no problem taking the required religion courses. I was just concerned about "fitting in"

I have been looking for an online program to obtain credits and become a CPA. I found the MS in Accounting at Liberty University and am planning on attending there. I was amazed at all the advantages the school offers: Ranked top three online school, extremely affordable in comparison to similar schools and the courses are straight to the point! (No BS to take more money from you!) I live in AZ and was very excited about attending Grand Canyon University (MBA w/ concentration in Accounting) UNTIL I found out their eMBA's tuition of $44,000 - so much for an affordable school! I would appreciate any comments on your experience at Liberty.
Evan Perez March 15, 2009 at 6:42 a.m.
I no there is a big stigma about online universities in general, but feel like this would be a better way for me. I have homeschooled the last two years of high school and found it a much better learning enviornment. I was wondering if Liberty's accreditation was a good one? Like one that is recognized and isnt looked over in the job field. Can you recieve grants towards tuition and stuff?
Email me your comments and suggestions...PLEASE. actual_rlty@yahoo.com

liberty is accredited by fully accredited by SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) it doesn't get better than that.
Joe March 27, 2009 at 2:49 a.m.
I would highly reccomend this school for the Christian and the non Christian as well. I am currently pursuing my Associates in Criminal Justice and I have found the curriculum to be Christian based. I love the fact that they teach from this standpoint and they teach other world standpoints actually better than some of the professors who teach their points of view. This school really does challenge the mind for both worlds.

Has anybody here gained a Associated Degree in CRJ that live in Massachusetts and used the degree at all in the field?
CH April 27, 2009 at 9:59 p.m.
I have been a student of Liberty Online for 4 months now and I have no complaints. I highly recommend this school to anyone considering an online college education. So far, it has been a great experience

After just over 4 years I will be graduating in 5 days with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management with a CMIS minor! Liberty has been an amazing experience for me and I cannot say enough good things about it. One thing I highly recommend is take at least 1 class on campus as an intensive. I took my speech class there and while it was insanely tough, a full semester in 1 week, it was such an awesome thing for me. It gave me a huge connection to the school.
I have also talked to many students that are on campus that chose to take an online class and every one of them has consistently said that the online classes tend to be tougher. Add that to the fact that the degree is the same as one given on campus and I say Liberty is the way to go!
Brian June 18, 2009 at 3:06 a.m.
I am a third of my way through my MDiv. In a nutshell, LU is organized, the rigor is evident, and the instructors answer my emails. Very pleased.
Marcus July 5, 2009 at 7 p.m.
I'm set to begin the counseling program in the fall. One concern is that I'm gay. I know the school leans on the conservative side, but will that hinder my ability to graduate with the degree? Do I have to be fully closeted in order to graduate from this school (I can be discreet)? Any honest answers out there? Thanks.
Bobby K July 10, 2009 at 11:55 a.m.
Marcus,
In my humble opinion, you should be able to attend any school you desire. I don't think there is a sign that says "No gays allowed." Your preference of partners should not be discussed in class at all. I think it is completely personal and should not be displayed in your online class. That way any who has a problem with gays will not discriminate against you. I am not a student at Liberty. I am not gay, but I just wanted to give you some encouragement to pursue you goals.
Tina July 21, 2009 at 9:12 a.m.
Has anyone taken a class where you had to complete papers weekly?
MHW July 24, 2009 at 7:26 p.m.
I'm starting my fifth online class in the Liberty online MBA program. If you work during the day be prepared to devote your evenings and weekends to your studies. Make sure you have solid access to the internet because you will spend a great deal of your time writing papers and citing sources. I found a piece of software that helps tremendously with this www.perrla.com
I highly recommend this university.
Be prepared to get serious.
Good Luck!

Can any body tell me what kind of financial aid Liberty offers to an undergrad and what kind of financial aid Liberty offers to a PHD student. Also if one has three years of credits from a north carolina state school, will the credits transfer if you are seeking to enroll in a bachlors program?
Isthatright August 12, 2009 at 2:58 a.m.
Nice University... I like the coursed but the Hold Times are very long and the financial aid process is a true mess!!
Arla August 17, 2009 at 2:40 a.m.
Here's a hint for dealing with the financial aid: don't call the Liberty Online 800/888 numbers. If you call the local number for Liberty, you will be transferred almost immediately to people who actually give you straight information, remove holds, and get things done--things that the 800/888 financial aid operators were unable help me with for more than two months.
My academic experience was wonderful, and I feel well-prepared for work, although the academic skills of about half my classmates seemed inappropriately low for a graduate program. Some teachers seem to be extremely liberal in grading, too, but most classes have a B or C average, which is normal for graduate work.
Michael August 21, 2009 at 12:13 p.m.
I am totally satisfied, and enthusiastic about my experience with LU! I recently finished my Bachelor of Science in Religion, and am now almost half way through LU's MBA program. I decided on LU for my masters because I was so impressed by the things that I learned from them in my undergraduate program.
If you are considering LU, be prepared to be challenged -not only by the faculty, but also by fellows students. Most every class requires community discussions about what are often contemporary moral problems in society. This really prepares you to understand perceptional differences across cultures and backgrounds. Even more, the faculty remains objective in these discussions allowing the students to express their subjective opinions. For this reason, if you are not a Christian, you can still be confident in your views without fear of your grades being affected for expressing them in discussions. (Note however, I personally am a Christian.)
You can also expect from most every class to be required to write at least one research paper. LU really makes the most of developing your writing skills. The majority of you class grade may depend on a 10-20 page paper. This really is a good thing because employers today demand good writing skills in order to succeed in the workplace.
It is my opinion that you cannot go wrong with LU. You will be glad that you took their path.
Joe September 29, 2009 at 6:52 a.m.
Does anyone have any experience with Liberty's online Doctorate in education programs??? If so what is your opinion??
Thanks
Krista October 27, 2009 at 2:35 a.m.
Hey,
I'm looking into Liberty University but i've seen a lot of bad reviews-not a real education, many jobs won't accept the accredidation, expensive, etc.
Is any of this true? And also, are there payment plans or do you have to pay the whole fee at one time, or...?
Thanks!
Kendra November 6, 2009 at 12:03 a.m.
Hey! I am currently a student and I am getting close to finishing up my Associates degree in Human Services. I have thought about taking one of my required classes from Liberty online, but I didn't know if it would transfer back into the college that I am currently attending. I also have thought about taking a couple of extra classes at LU. Does anyone know if this is possible without staying with LU to get a degree? Thanks!
Kip Burt November 7, 2009 at 1:38 p.m.
I am a first semester student at Liberty U and it has been a great experience. Enrollment is tough but once you get past the financail aid and admissions process it's all good. Liberty U has the best program for online students!
