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 us even when we did not use any AI and we would have to go before an ethics board to defend our work. They also don't take complaints about professors seriously especially when it's multiple reports about the same teacher.

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 came from renowned institutions across the country, and presented their scholarship internationally. No one ever preached to me in my courses or through email about Christian beliefs or political affiliation. The feedback I received on my coursework and writing was tough, yet fair. I honestly don't know if I would have successfully completed my dissertation if it wasn't for the program and my dissertation chair. I would recommend Liberty University's graduate program to anyone.

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 completed my Master of Public Policy degree through Liberty University Online while working full-time, and overall I had a positive experience. The online format was flexible and allowed me to balance graduate studies with my professional responsibilities. Most courses were well organized, professors were responsive, and the curriculum provided a solid foundation in public policy, research, and analysis. I especially appreciated the integration of a Christian worldview into the coursework, which... Read More encouraged students to consider ethical and moral dimensions of public policy issues. While some classes varied in quality and required a significant amount of independent learning, I found the program challenging enough to be worthwhile and applicable to my career. Liberty's online platform was generally easy to navigate, and the eight-week course format helped keep me focused and motivated. Overall, I would recommend Liberty University Online to working adults seeking a flexible, accredited graduate program that combines academic study with a Christian perspective.

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 and diverse perspectives.

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.

Liberty University has several things I disagree with. An on-campus student is required to have a meal plan, and is therefore not able to choose to purchase their own groceries and make their own food. When prospective college students visit, they serve abnormally good food, which is not the norm, which I find to be deceptive marketing. There is also a mandatory fee for all of the athletic locations (gym, etc) on campus, regardless if you use it or not. They have career coaches to to practice interviews... Read More with, but no network to actually obtain a job after graduating. I've enjoyed learning from some of my professors, but the academic portion is oftentimes out of touch with market reality. You are not taught how to get a job, and there is no support system for you once you get a degree. They operate to get students degrees, not a career. Mandatory chapel is also a bad system for fostering one's faith, comes with hefty fines or expulsion for non-attendance, and spreads illness rapidly. If there were decentralized smaller groups you could participate in, that would be better.
If I could do it all again, I would spend two years getting my associates at a state school to save money, then go to a university that offers some job placement program as part of their academic schedule, one that offers certifications for software and other practical employable skills.

I completed both my undergrad and grad degrees through Liberty University online, and it honestly worked really well for me. As a military member, I needed flexibility—and Liberty delivered. They’re truly military-friendly, from tuition help to professors who understand that life doesn’t stop for school. The online format made it easy to balance work, family, and school. I could set my own pace without feeling behind, and the courses were clear and well-organized. What really stood out was how approachable... Read More the professors were. Anytime I had a question, I got a timely, helpful response, which made the whole experience feel personal instead of just logging into a system. Overall, Liberty online made getting my degrees possible without sacrificing work or family. It takes discipline, but with the flexibility and support they provide, I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a practical, quality online education.

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...
