      Benefits of Liberty’s Certificate Programs

      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 certificate 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.
      • Tuition for all 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. 
      • To continue our mission of providing affordable education, electronic textbooks are included for all undergraduate courses at no cost to you. As a full-time student, this could save you an estimated $800-2,000 per year on textbooks!
      • Liberty University’s online certificate programs are mostly offered in the same 8-week, 100% online format as our online degree programs.
