Undergraduate Certificate in Global Studies

What Will You Study in Liberty’s Undergraduate Certificate in Global Studies?

As a pioneer of distance learning since 1985, Liberty University has worked hard to make our global studies online certificate program flexible and affordable. With no set login times and a 100% online format, our global studies courses are designed to fit into your schedule, so you don’t have to choose between continuing your education and your family or job.

At Liberty, our professors have real-world experience in their fields. For global studies, this means you will be studying under professors who are from a variety of backgrounds and ethnicities and who have experience living, traveling, and working in multiple cultures. Because of this, they can teach you practical, in-demand skills that you can use to further your career or ministry as you engage new cultures.

In your online international studies certificate classes, you will study topics such as:

• Intercultural communication and engagement
• Career preparation for global workers
• Cultural anthropology

You may also be interested in exploring our certificate in religion or health sciences.

Highlights of the Online Undergraduate Certificate in Global Studies 

As a leader in distance education since 1985, we understand what it takes to create a flexible and affordable education for busy people. Since we have been investing in distance and online learning for decades, our experience has taught us how to streamline our degree options so you can focus on what really matters to you. While many schools offer online degrees, we believe Liberty stands out.

Here’s what sets us apart:

• 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 certificate from a nonprofit university with this kind of recognition can help set you apart from others in your field.
• Online undergraduate tuition rates have been frozen for the last 10 years. While many other online colleges have raised tuition, Liberty has been able to keep costs low as a nonprofit university.
• You can complete our Undergraduate Certificate in Global Studies in as little as 2 semesters.
