We Believe...
- Quality academics are essential. Liberty’s Christian professors are experienced professionals in their fields who also care about those in their classes.
- Diversity is part of a quality education. Liberty enrolls students from all 50 states and more than 80 countries, allowing you to have a truly world-class education.
- College is time to build good habits and moral character, which is why our campus is tobacco and alcohol free with single-sex dorms.
- You should feel safe on campus. We are ranked in the top 5% of safest college campuses by college experts Niche.com due to low crime rates and programs designed to keep your well-being and safety a top priority. (Being a drug and alcohol-free campus helps too!)
- Practical experience is essential. We offer opportunities for on-campus employment, internships in Washington D.C. and New York City, and provide cutting edge technology in the classroom.
- You should learn from world leaders. Liberty hosts accomplished individuals such as U.S. presidents, global diplomats, professional athletes, and distinguished pastors to speak at Convocation, the world’s largest weekly gathering of young people. Convocation is key feature of your Liberty education.
- Healthy and balanced living is a necessary part of a quality education. Our food service consistently ranks as one of the best on any college campus in the U.S. with options to fit dietary restraints and needs. You can also exercise with a variety of types of equipment at our fitness center to maintain a balanced lifestyle.
- Finances should not be a barrier. Liberty’s tuition is in the lowest 25% of all private colleges in the U.S., and all international students pursuing a bachelor’s degree will receive some institutional aid.
International Students
All international students pursuing a bachelor’s degree qualify for financial aid plus additional Academic Scholarships for those with grade averages above 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
We understand that going to university in a different country can be rewarding yet challenging. We are here for you. We support our international students and promote international culture through on-campus workshops and cultural events hosted by our International Student Center. Popular events for students include internationally-themed open houses, cooking foods from around the world, and a cultural talent and fashion show. Whether you want to connect with other students or need support with federal regulations, the International Student Center will help you feel at home.
During the summer, international students can remain at Liberty, work on campus, enroll in classes, or travel elsewhere.
Admission Support:
Your International Student Advisors also provide support following graduation. Students can find help searching for jobs in their fields, pursuing another degree program, or applying for a different visa status.
