Liberty University
Lynchburg, Virginia

Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia is an evangelical Christian university with about 8,700 on-campus students, and 12,000 in off-campus learning. Overall, Liberty offers 38 undergraduate majors and 29 minors, as well as 15 graduate programs, Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, a law school, the Liberty Bible Institute, and the English Language Institute. Even though it claims to be the largest Christian university in the world, it plans to continue expanding.

Liberty is directed by a solid Christian vision that is found throughout the institution’s programs and led by Rev. Jerry Falwell. Students at Liberty receive a conservative education because the doctrinal statement of the college is based on “…an absolute repudiation of ‘political correctness,’ a strong commitment to political conservatism, total rejection of socialism, and firm support for America’s economic system of free enterprise,” among other things. In addition, the faculty is committed to a Christian worldview and interested in furthering the doctrinal statement of the college.

All academic programs revolve around a Christian worldview and strive for excellence. Liberty also maintains distance learning that allows students to pursue one of several degrees from home. More than one hundred courses are offered in multiple subjects. Many of the participants have a traveling vocation such as the military or missions. A special program entitled “Home School Advantage” is a specially designed Bible study program for home-schooled students that accelerates their transition into the university.

The Christian experience at Liberty does not stop with the classroom. Dormitories are supervised by Spiritual Life Directors (SLD’s), older students that foster a Christian lifestyle and atmosphere. Many extracurricular programs are designed to further the mission of the college, including an annual Christian music festival called “block party,” Bible study, and chapel programs. The central Virginia campus also offers NCAA division I athletics, a national champion debate team, Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs, and special conferences devoted to Biblical issues.
