LU online expands to Dallas

Satellite office opens in Texas

Liberty University President Jerry Falwell announced Wednesday, Feb. 18, that the school’s first satellite office will open in Dallas, Texas.

According to Falwell, the idea for the satellite office came from research that showed that students are more likely to attend online classes from a university close to them as opposed to a university several states away. The purpose of the office would be to offer students short-term intensive courses, as well as to give them an opportunity to have face-to-face interactions with Liberty University representatives. This would prevent students near Dallas from having to travel all the way to Lynchburg for a two-week course.

Despite opening a new facility in Dallas for online students, Liberty University Online will still be accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
