Liberty has been a big help to me over the years. I studied more than a decade there. There are certainly professors that are not good. There are several things that I do not like. First, all of the online programs I researched there are easily distinguishable from the residential programs. They have made it so the online students are easily culled out of the job market as many employers see online degrees as a second class education. This is a big problem for me. For this reason, I feel like students that are paying for a first class education online at Liberty University are being cheated. Second, There is some inconsistency as some programs are lengthy and require entirely too much reading and writing. Finally, there seems to be a leadership problem. There are great conflicts going on there and I feel like this problems starts with those at the very top levels of leadership. This in turn trickles down to the department directors and impact the student body.

I have completed the coursework for the Liberty University's Doctorate of Strategic Leadership program and am 8 months into my dissertation. To be clear, DO NOT ENROLL IN THIS PROGRAM. I was lured in by the great military and public safety discount, and the coursework was interesting and worthwhile, but the dissertation process is a complete mess. So few students were able to finish the broken program that they completely reworked it immediately before me. However, it is still broken beyond repair. I have two other doctorates; one is from the Liberty University School of Government, and I have never seen anything in academia as dysfunctional as their dissertation process. It started with them completely changing the topic that I wanted to do my dissertation on, and ignored my appeal to do something that would be valuable to my military organization. Then, I was assigned a dissertation lead without my input and told I could not change him (however, he is the only rational faculty member I've come into contact with in this process). Then they assign a "research methodologist" who does whatever she wants in contrast to published dissertation guidelines, they clearly have a policy of making students rewrite every submission a minimum of 4 times, just because, and this is after another faculty member has already approved it. To add insult to injury, this methodologist sends back written work products for re-writing and provides feedback in grammatically incorrect sentences and broken English. I appealed thrice to the Dean of the Business school, who just stamped it "denied" without any consideration, follow-up, or feedback. There is no way out of this mess of a program—total amateur hour. Go through ANY OTHER program and you'll be a lot happier.

In March 2024, Liberty University was fined $14 million by the U.S. Department of Education for failing to report crimes on campus, including sexual assaults, in violation of federal law. The fine is the largest ever levied under the Clery Act. The Department of Education also said that Liberty University created a "culture of silence" around sexual assault, failed to support victims, and did not properly report them. However, the Department of Education also noted that Liberty's administration acknowledged the violations and showed a commitment to fixing them.

I am a doctoral student with Liberty and choose them amongst others because I was told they had such a great military rate and benefits. This is the end of my first class and I am completely disappointed in the service offered by the school. No one returns calls and they are rude on chat and email. I did not get the military rate and I’m active duty but when asked about it I continued to get the run around and now I am stuck not being able to begin my next class because of this. I do not recommend for service members because it is false information being spread bout how much of a “military school” they are, this has been all bad.

Working with Liberty University students has been such a great experience. They are so compassionate and have a global vision for the world. I love their passion for people and their knowledge regarding the field of teaching.

In the aviation program, the classes set deadlines that often cannot be met because of external forces (weather, plane and instructor availability). They offer no extended deadline date. They expect students to pay for the entire class again even if they one need an additional week. It is ridiculous and makes zero sense. Students are being punished because they cannot control the weather. We are extremely disappointed. We wanted our son to attend Liberty because it was a Christian University. We feel completely betrayed because their business practices are anything but Christian. They are deliberately ripping people off to make more money. Our one solace is that they will be held accountable for this greed and treachery one day.

I am giving 3 stars because not experienced all about the school yet.I just enrolled my 10th and 8th graders in the online academy. As a Christian school it’s very important to maintain or preserve the legacy so all support is needed . One problem I think needs worked on is the structure of the online academy. My 10th grader sits hours after normal online school period doing assignments. Assignments after each course takes so long after the quizzes too that he barely gets any sleep. We are just a month into the program and if this is the way it will go we may just drop it all together. Tried reaching out but support seems not to have much help to give. My 10th grader take 7 courses per day and therefore 6 quizzes, almost 6 lesson reviews per subject, and assignments daily. All these within a day . Daily from Monday to Friday. He sits for about 10 hrs doing school work.He barely gets enough time to complete his work, have physical activity and social life before the next days work. It’s like punishment here right now.Any solution here?

A good school if want a worthless degree from a bunch of right wing nuts. Who's gonna hire someone with a degree from LU?
