Around the world, distance learning programs have become an increasingly popular and recognizable means for busy adults to complete or earn their degree. According to industry analysts, it is projected that 1.8 million students will be enrolled in fully-online degree programs in 2007! However, there are critics who have raised several questions regarding this type of education. As a credible and successful provider of distance education for over twenty years, Liberty University would like to dispel a few myths regarding Distance Learning:

Question #1
Are distance learning programs as good as traditional,
on-campus programs?

At Liberty University, many of our experienced resident faculty also teach distance learning courses so you are sure to get the same quality education as students who attend here on campus. Plus, we have a low student-to-faculty ratio to provide for even better
one-on-one attention throughout your courses. We utilize the latest technology to ensure your online courses equip you with the skills you need to excel in your career.

Question #2
Will employers recognize degrees from
distance learning universities?

Unlike some schools, Liberty's Distance Learning Program isn't a diploma mill. As a pioneer in the distance education market, and having more than thirty-five years experience, as an established, accredited university, Liberty is well-respected by employers and other institutions across America and the world.

Question #3
Can distance learning credits transfer to other colleges?

Liberty's Distance Learning Program carries the same, full regional accreditation as Liberty's residential programs, so credits taken through us will be accepted by traditional institutions just as if you had studied on-campus at Liberty.

Question #4
Can any accredited online school will offer a good education?

Institutional accreditation is a mark of quality, and is only awarded to an educational institution if it has successfully met strict standards in areas such as degree programs, courses, faculty, and student support. Many online universities claim to have legitimate accreditation, but unless the college or university is accredited through an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, a degree earned through their school may simply be a piece of paper. Liberty's Distance Learning Program is nationally and regionally accredited, and many of Liberty's individual programs and degrees also have additional accreditation and certifications.
