Some people have asked me about whether or not you need to be a Christian or religious to attend Liberty University. I would have to say no. Just because the school is a Christian school doesn’t mean that there are other religions there. There are in fact Muslims and Jewish students on campus as well. Many people have even said that it is a requirement to attend the Convocation or Campus Church. Again, the answer is no. If you are Catholic, then it would be beneficial to attend the Convocation and Campus Church services.
As long as you have no problem using the Bible as a reference in your class assigments, you should not have any problem with attending Liberty. Many of the class assignments require the use of the Bible. For example, in a week 7 discussion board assignment for PSYC 341, Psychology of Personality, there were two questions that needed to be answered.
-
- What does God’s word teach us about these factors within the life of a believer?
- How does the Holy Spirit work within us as believers regarding self-regulation?
If you are pursuing an undergraduate degree program, there are religion courses that are part of the required curriculum. The religious courses are only taken a few times, after that even some of the other courses are somewhat religious in the way they are taught, it is not bad. I mean the professors I have had since I started are the best you can ask for.
Everyone at LU is very understanding. I have had some problems like I ordered the wrong books for a class and one time the paper I sent to them via the Internet did not come through and both times they were very understanding. Compared to the other colleges that I have attended, I could not be happier. To be perfectly honest, my only regret is I did not start with Liberty University first as an undergraduate.
