Overview

The Religious Studies BSc programme from the Liberty University will give you an exceptional learning experience. We want you to learn from experienced professionals, have access to current resources, state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities for hands-on experience.

One of the most valuable assets available to you as a student is your professors. They are professionals in their field who are either working towards or have earned their doctoral degrees. Plus, they have years of experience working in ministry, and are excited about the opportunity to teach, guide, mentor, and support you throughout your academic journey.

Additionally, you’ll have access to some of the latest technology, resources, and internship opportunities. Our Freedom Tower houses a 7-projector immersive classroom, an interactive classroom that utilizes teleconferencing capabilities, and a state-of-the-art homiletics teaching lab.

The Rawlings Foundation’s rare book collection contains a 111-foot long Torah scroll dating back to the 16th century and a functioning Gutenberg Printing Press replica. Plus, you’ll be able to participate in internship opportunities with churches and parachurches locally, nationally, and globally.
