What Will You Study in Our Undergraduate Preschool Studies Certificate Program?

Benefits of Earning Your Undergraduate Preschool Certificate

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 as Niche.com’s #2 Best College Campus in America for 2026 – and that commitment to excellence extends to our online students as well. Earning your online certificate in preschool 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. 
• Credits earned in the Undergraduate Certificate in Preschool program can potentially transfer into an associate in early childhood education or a bachelor’s degree.
