Liberty University Online Educational Learning
Liberty University’s Distance Learning Program is a Revolution in Adult Learning
The Liberty University Distance Learning Program (DLP), which for more than two decades has been an innovator in adult learning instruction, continues to be on the cutting edge of this special field of education.
Today, more than 20,000 adults are enrolled in courses through Liberty’s DLP. These adults, who are too busy with family and careers to be full-time college students, are taking advantage of Liberty’s flexible DLP, which allows students to study at their own pace from their homes or offices.

Retirement triggers changes at LibertyBy Ron Brown

The impending retirement of a key Liberty University official will likely result in a shake-up of the structure of the school’s administrative staff. Executive Vice President David L. Young announced last week that he will be stepping down effective July 1 to accept a teaching position in the school’s aviation program. Young announced his retirement at a meeting of LU’s Board of Trustees. Young’s departure will force a redistribution of his administrative duties, which include overseeing the school’s budget and managing the day-to-day operation of the campus. “This is a good time for institutional change,” Young said. “We need to structure the organization to meet the future needs of the university.”
When he was named the school’s chief operations officer two years ago, Young, a retired Air Force general, said he planned to stay on the job just a couple of years.
“It’s been fun actually,” he said. “But I love to fly.”
