Liberty University Undergraduate Admission Requirements – Online Programs

Liberty University offers 100% online associate degrees and bachelor’s degrees, as well as certificates, in many areas of study.

First-Time College Students

If you are attending college for the first time, Official High School transcripts are required for undergraduate programs. You may be able to enroll in up to 12 credit hours with unofficial high school transcripts and our high school self-certification form.

  • If official high school transcripts are not received within those 12 credit hours, a hold will be placed on the account and additional registration will not be permitted until transcripts are received. The official high school transcript can be waived with 12 or more college credits from an accredited school with an acceptable GPA.
  • The High School Self-Certification form can be completed through our online portal or printable form (PDF). This form will be waived for students who have already earned an associate degree.

Transfer Students

Please visit our Undergraduate Admissions page to see more specific requirements for admission into an online associate degree or bachelor’s degree.

Transfer Credits

As an accredited online college with established credibility, Liberty can offer college credit for many industry certificates and training.

Graduate Admission Requirements for Liberty University Online Programs

Our graduate programs are specialized to prepare you for a wide variety of career fields and educational opportunities. You must possess a bachelor’s degree before you can begin a master’s degree program.

We also offer online graduate certificates for students who are seeking a shorter, more focused certificate completion plan. This provides you with graduate-level courses to build your résumé and act as the first step toward a master’s degree.

General Admission Requirements

Please visit our Graduate Admissions page to see all steps and policies for admission into Liberty’s online master’s degree programs. Please note: There may be degree-specific admission requirements for each of our online degree programs. You can find these requirements on each of the individual degree pages. A copy of your transcript showing a conferred bachelor’s degree is required.

It is important to note that some of our master’s degrees may have residential components such as on-campus intensives or internships. This information will be made known on our program pages.

Liberty University Post-Graduate and Doctoral Admission Requirements

After completing a master’s degree, students are eligible to pursue a post-graduate or doctoral degree program. Post-graduate degrees include industry-specialized advanced degrees such as the Education Specialist (Ed.S.) and the Master of Theology (Th.M.). These programs are pre-doctoral but give advanced training and knowledge beyond the graduate level.

Students with a master’s degree can also pursue an online doctoral degree. Doctoral degrees are the highest level of college education and include a final, comprehensive project such as the Doctoral Dissertation. Some popular examples of our doctoral degree programs are the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) and the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA).

Students pursuing Liberty’s online doctoral programs may have residential requirements including on-campus intensives and internships. This information will be made known on our program pages.
