The vision of our Chancellor, Jerry Falwell Jr., is to keep Liberty Distance Learning affordable so as many people as possible can experience a Christ-centered education, that will propel each student forward spiritually as well as professionally. Our low tuition rates still come with the same quality and curriculum that our resident students experience on campus.
