LIBERTY UNIVERSITY Training Champions for Christ since 1971

Lynchburg, Virginia


training champions for christ is liberty university’s mission, responsibility, & privilege... Our students engage their academic dreams, actively seek out God’s wisdom, and establish friendships that will last far beyond the college experience.

Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. & Becki Falwell

Liberty was a school that wasn’t supposed to happen. Everybody said it couldn’t be done. A conservative Christian university surely would not survive;

but we did.

Train side-by-side with more than 12,500 residential students from 50 states and 95 countries at an institution that proudly commissions its graduates as equipped professionals, ready to impact their chosen career fields, their peers, and the world for Christ. As you explore this viewbook, picture yourself experiencing life at Liberty. I hope you are inspired by all we have to offer and that you will someday call Liberty home. Sincerely,

Jerry Falwell, Jr. Chancellor and President

“You have to be mentally and physically strong and able to compete as an athlete on any level. We coach and train our athletes on these attributes constantly, but what makes our program different is the importance we place on the spiritual strength that we are constantly pursuing.
