About Our Accreditation

 

Convocation

 

The central mission of any university is inquiry in pursuit of truth. In addition to rigorous academic instruction inside the classroom, Liberty also facilitates the exchange of ideas outside the classroom. One such avenue is Convocation, a platform that brings nationally and internationally recognized men and women of distinction to the Liberty stage on a weekly basis. Our goal is that graduates are not only proficient in their own fields of study, but that they are well-rounded, educated, and knowledgeable on a variety of subjects. Multiple times per week, students have the unique opportunity to hear from leaders across the intellectual and professional landscape and be introduced to topics outside their field of study. Speakers who have succeeded in the arts, sports, politics, ministry, entertainment, or business — among other areas — address the student body, providing insight into local and global issues and giving students a broader vision of themselves and their world.
