What is a Nonprofit Online College or University?
As a nonprofit (not-for-profit) university that has online college degrees in almost every area of study, Liberty University is not in the business of gaining profit and revenue. Liberty’s online program focuses on the training of competent and skilled graduates, which is in keeping with our commitment to your education. Nonprofit colleges do not have to worry about paying dividends to their shareholders. Instead, Liberty University invests that money in our online college degrees.
How a Nonprofit Online College Helps You
For Liberty University, nonprofit is more than a status. For us, it is a valuable opportunity to invest in the lives of students who will go out and impact the world for Christ.
Here’s how Liberty is investing in your success:
Maintaining Low Tuition Rates
Most of our online tuition rates rank in the top 33% for affordability when compared to our leading online competitors. The majority of tuition for 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.
Online School Backed by Award-Winning Campus
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 degree from a nonprofit university with this kind of recognition can help set you apart from others in your field.
Scholarships and Other Resources
While saving students money through competitive tuition rates, Liberty also provides resources and scholarships for students attending our online college degree programs to help them reach their academic and professional goals.
Graduation is the Goal
Liberty’s priority is to see each student succeed and make it to the finish line — graduation. High graduation rates prove that success is within reach.
