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

March 12, 2006
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.”

Why an Accredited College Degree?
I had a good friend who spent four years of his life earning a college degree. Turns out it was from an unaccredited institution. Unfortunately, he was never able to get a job in his chosen field, which was teaching. An unaccredited degree is a time bomb in anyone’s resume. If you have any plans of going on after a earning a Bachelor’s degree, you must have an accredited degree in order to do that.
As a result, of increased acceptance of online degree programs there has been a significant increase in unaccredited online institutions. Some have been referred to as diploma mills. The diploma mills try to look like accredited universities. They purposely make their programs even more convenient and affordable than a standard accredited college.
It’s your time and money - make sure when you look at a school you look for their accreditation. Some of these colleges state that they are accredited, but they are accredited by phony or shaky accrediting agencies. It is crucial that you make sure that any college you look at seriously is accredited by one of the six agencies that are listed in this article and make sure you look at their website, which lists all the colleges and universities that they have accredited.
Accreditation - what is it?
