Online Theology Degree Programs

Studying theology can involve many aspects depending on your current knowledge, position, and professional goals. Liberty University offers a variety of online theology degrees – each with its own focus to better suit your needs. If you want to embark on a rich and fruitful study of theology, then a degree from Liberty can give you the biblical history, facts, and principles needed to help you increase the effectiveness of your ministry.

Liberty offers theology degree programs at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels to give you the specialized training in theological scholarship you need to further your ministry career and better reach others for Christ. Through Liberty’s online theology courses, you will dive deep into the history and traditions of the Christian church and explore God’s powerful, life-changing messages that can allow you to gain revelations and insights not found in general capacities.

As a pioneer in distance learning since 1985 and a Christian university recognized for its academic quality, affordability, and accessibility, Liberty combines academic excellence with a biblical worldview. Our 100% online programs are flexible and affordable and can allow you to pursue your degree in theology while staying connected with your family, your church, and your work. You can pursue theology degrees at the bachelor’s, master’s, postgraduate, and even doctoral level with Liberty University and learn to help others grow in their walk with Christ!


Benefits of Earning a Degree at Liberty University

  • Our online programs are backed by our brick-and-mortar campus – ranked among Niche.com’s Top 5 College Campuses in America – and that commitment to excellence extends to our online students as well. Earning your online degree or certificate from a nonprofit university with this kind of recognition can help set you apart from others in your field.
  • The majority of tuition for undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs has not increased in 9 years. While many other online colleges have raised tuition, Liberty has been able to keep costs low as a nonprofit university. 
  • With Liberty’s 8-week format and 3 semesters per year, you can complete your online theology program in less time than attending courses on campus.
  • Learn practical, in-demand skills in ministry, leadership, evangelism, biblical studies, and theology that churches and ministries need!
  • You can take Institutional Challenge Exams (ICE) at the undergraduate and graduate level to gain course credit for personal studies in the Bible, theology, and many other topics!
