Each teaching academy is two and half hours to ensure appropriate time to learn and practice.

In-Person Research Boot Camp

CTE is excited to announce the 2026 Research Boot Camp, June 1-5. Designed exclusively for higher education faculty, this multiday camp allows participants to be part of a team that conducts academic research and completes an entire journal article and academic poster in one week.

Over the course of boot camp, you will:

Attend sessions on creating a journal article, submission strategies, and navigating the publication process
Conduct original academic research with live participants
Receive expert guidance on methodology, data collection, analysis, and reporting
Prepare a scholarly article for submission to Liberty University’s Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
Create an academic poster to showcase your project at an upcoming conference

By the conclusion of the week, faculty will leave Research Boot Camp with an article accepted for publication in a scholarly journal, approval to present at a conference, a template for an academic poster, and skills for scholarly success. Additionally, participants will be provided meals and a stipend for attending all five days of camp. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available upon request. Register by emailing cte@liberty.edu or via the Course Registration tool in myLU (Subject Code: PDCT).

Biblical Worldview Integration at Liberty University

Integrating a biblical worldview into academics is critical to a well-rounded Christian education. While important, this approach involves more than reading a Bible verse at the beginning of a lecture, having a devotional, or praying in class. Full integration advances this approach to incorporate the critical examination of academic content from a Christian student’s perspective.

Biblical Worldview Integration (BWI) identifies how God’s brilliant design is found across all disciplines. It also helps to explain how this identification reveals the very nature of God, man, creation, purpose, redemption, salvation, and order.

BWI is a necessary ingredient in a student’s search for truth, reason, and morality. It’s also essential to a student’s academic, social, and spiritual development.

To learn more about Liberty University’s position, please read Liberty University’s Doctrinal Statement, Philosophy of Education, and Statement of Mission and Purpose.
