Study the Foundations of the Christian Faith and Learn to Defend Them by Earning an Online Apologetics Associate Degree

What is apologetics? Quite simply, apologetics is studying the defense of doctrines and faith. By studying the Word of God as well as modern cultural trends, philosophy, and theories of knowledge, you will be prepared to answer questions both skeptics and fellow Christians are asking today. Liberty’s associate degree in apologetics online is designed to equip you to “speak away” (Apologia in Greek, apo-away, logia-speech) any questions or objections to your faith.

You will learn to effectively engage the questions, doubts, and skepticism of unbelievers by responding intellectually and persuasively. Liberty University is pleased to offer our associate degree in apologetics 100% online. We are also proud of our accreditation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). 

What Will You Learn in Our Associate Degree in Apologetics Online?

  • The fundamental skills of apologetics.
  • The author C.S. Lewis and how his apologetic approach can relate to the current cultural movement.
  • Skills to conduct research and write about religion.
  • Scripture with some of the common questions and objections of faith in today’s world.

You will learn from faculty who are committed to Training Champions for Christ. Once you complete your training, you will be able to articulate and defend the essential truths of evangelical Christianity.
