In-Person Components of Online Programs

What do we mean when we say our programs are “100% online”? We mean that the overall class type within the program is online – can be accessed online and assignments can be submitted digitally. However, it is important to note that some online degree programs may have components/courses such as internships, practicums, labs, intensives, and more that will require in-person attendance and/or field hours. In most cases, the in-person requirements can be completed at an approved location near you and will not require you to visit campus. For more information about the requirements for your specific degree, please refer to your Degree Completion Plan or your school’s Course Guides (accessible after applying and claiming your Liberty account)

If you have not yet applied and have additional questions regarding in-person requirements, please contact our admissions office:

This page references requirements for the current academic year, but requirements may change from one academic year to another. For specific information, please refer to your degree completion plan in our Course Registration Tool.



Please note: While most of our online programs are available in a flexible, 8-week course format with no set login times, some courses may have different formats – including but not limited to full-semester courses (14-17 weeks), on-campus courses (e.g., intensives), courses with synchronous login times, and more.
