Anyone working on a Masters degree with Liberty University online?

My CO's husband did his Masters through Liberty Online. It was very legitimate as Colleges go, he had a lot of homework, and was constantly challenged in his classes but his degree is never questioned because of the Reputation Liberty has.

I hope this helps.

Great University, I received my Master's in Accounting there! And they provide a very good discount for veterans! Good Luck!

SFC Ewing,

I have to echo what others have already said...Liberty is a VERY military friendly school, but also challenging. Their online assistance is also very good. The few times I have run into issues, ironically all while overseas, their online chat representatives have easily assisted in resolving them quickly.

All my courses have been online thus far--a huge benefit as it does not interfere with deployments and detachments. I am six courses into the MBA program, taking two 8-week classes (B & D terms) each semester to avoid the technology fee, and using TA to pay tuition. [SPC Michael Bogenschutz--if you are interested in the MBA program, you can switch from MMAL to MBA after successfully completing BMAL 500, 590, and GRST 500. BUSI 561, 520, and 530 are common to both programs and BMAL 500 counts as an elective course for the MBA. Just something to consider.]

Liberty has up until this point given a tuition discount to match the amount paid by TA ($250/credit hour). So your only expenses are books and any course fees. I believe that is changing starting this fall semester for graduate level course tuition. The new rate that Liberty is discounting to is $275/credit hour (undergrad is still $250/credit hour), which means military graduate students will have to pay $25/credit hour out of pocket (in addition to books and any fees--not all classes have fees).

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I recently went back to Liberty again to work on my Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree. I am in the 30 hour program within Curriculum and Instruction. My end goal is a Doctor of Education, but like previously mentioned there are residency requirements. They usually take a week on campus per residency.

I don't know anything about Liberty.  One piece of advice is that a lot of diploma mills target the military, and the diploma with $2 will buy you a cup of coffee.

SFC Ewing,

I just posted a "thanks-all" note to several people who helped in my graduate school selection. That caused your question to pop up. I have just completed my fourth class through Liberty Online. I am very pleased with their "military friendliness" but that is in no way suggesting that they water their programs down. They are tough, with a high requirement for written work. I am in the Masters of Public Administration/Public Policy program and am very pleased so far. The instructors have been willing to help with deadlines, but have high standards, which I appreciate, shouldn't the work be hard? Best of luck, don't hesitate to PM or hit me up on global if you have specific questions.

I start my Masters in Business Administration with a concentration in Project Management in a couple weeks. I will come back and let you know how my first semester is going. So far I like the university and the staff has been more than helpful in preparing me to start taking classes. 

I absolutely love them! I am doing the online program and there are 2 options that you can do. Either 4 16 week classes or 2 sets of 2 8wk classes. They are incredibly helpful as well!

I did both my undergraduate and graduate degree through Liberty. I would recommend them highly to anyone, but lost especially for Military, Police, Fire and EMS personnel.
