Academic Success

While some colleges believe in being exclusive — admitting only those with the highest test scores and best transcripts — at Liberty, we believe in every student’s potential to succeed.

Here, we’re breaking the mold.

We know that when students are given the extra attention they need, they can achieve more than they ever expected.

Whether you’re a first-year student facing anxieties about college life as you transition from high school or an upperclassman who wants to sharpen new skills, you can find support services designed to boost your confidence and help you reach your highest goals for academic achievement.

Academic Success Courses are helpful electives that teach practical study skills. Many of these courses meet once a week and count as 1-hour credit courses. You’ll meet regularly with faculty mentors and gain skills that will give you lifelong benefits.

Academic Coaching

Peer and professional advisors are available during the week and are ready to help you create a plan for success that is uniquely tailored to your individual needs. These plans help you overcome procrastination, improve your test-taking, reading skills, time management, and more.

  • Overcoming procrastination
  • Personal growth and goal setting
  • Mindset/time commitments/test taking
