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!"
