The staff (at Liberty) have been wonderful to work with ...

"At 40+ I felt the desire to change careers and become a teacher. I discovered that Liberty University had both an online learning program with initial certification and a program in special education. With the flexible format, hours that would have been spent traveling were instead spent at home with my son, while at the same time I was completing my degree. The staff have been wonderful to work with, and I sing their praises to everyone I meet. Thank the Lord for Liberty University!"

*Blended Degree Programs

The blended degree format combines online study with on-campus study at Liberty University. This unique format allows you to complete some of your coursework from a distance, while also giving you the opportunity to study from our Lynchburg, Virginia campus, located in the beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 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.
