*Blended Degree Programs

The blended degree format combines online study with on-campus study at Liberty University. This format allows you to complete course work from a distance, with some one-week residency requirements on our campus in Lynchburg, VA. Through the blended format, you get to experience the best of both worlds – the convenience of flexible, online education mixed with intensive study and face-to-face interaction with professors and fellow students on Liberty's campus.

**Minimal on-campus intensives will be required for online programs with licensure requirements.
