Introduction
Founded in 1971 by Dr. Jerry Falwell, Liberty University provides a comprehensive, coeducational,
To Liberty
Christian environment committed to serious scholarship at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The
University has grown from a small, undefined campus with temporary classrooms and housing arrange-

Liberty is approved by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia and is accredited by the Southern

sports facilities and programs; its cultural events through the Fine Arts Center; its museums, elegant
homes, and historic architecture; its beautiful lakes and streams; and its many other attractions that
enhance the quality of life in this quaint southern town.
Lynchburg also has more than 1,000 luxurious hotel rooms, numerous factory outlets and malls, and a

Preparing Christian professionals
T
he academic programs at Liberty University balance a love of inquiry with
an unapologetic commitment to a Christian world view. Our programs will
expose you to the world of ideas, a world that encompasses beliefs very
different from our own. It's not uncommon for Liberty to host an event such
as a debate between Dr. Gary Habermas, Liberty
professor of apologetics and philosophy, and Dr.
Antony Flew, a renowned atheistic scholar and
professor of philosophy from England (1985). Set
within the context of a Christian perspective,
Liberty's academic program provides a Christ-
centered, liberal arts education that you can
live with.

Studies. You'll explore a variety of academic fields while you begin to fulfill
some of Liberty's liberal arts requirements. Once you settle on a major, you'll
then apply for admission to the appropriate school.
According to Dr. Pauline Donaldson, Dean of the College of General
Studies and Director of the honors program, students and parents alike
appreciate Liberty's approach. "When I tell them they don't have to decide

comes in undeclared SO there's no pressure to decide before you're ready."
To help you choose the major and career direction that's right for you, the
College of General Studies provides orientation, advising, placement testing,
and career planning services.
The College of Arts and Sciences
Students enrolled in Liberty's College of Arts and Sciences study with
dedicated professors, sixty-five percent of whom hold the highest degree in
their fields. Students also have many opportunities for practical experience.
Our history majors, for example, get working experience with the Lynchburg
museum system; psychology majors complete practicums with community
service organizations; nursing students make use of Liberty's new nursing
laboratory and receive clinical training in local hospitals.

The School of Business and Government
The School of Business and Government offers the dual benefits of
professors with proven track records in business and government and strong
opportunities for students to get professional experience in their fields.
Student interns are placed in a variety of public, private, and governmental
organizations, ranging from offices of the White House to businesses in the
local area.
Graduates of the School of Business and Government work in responsible
positions with IBM, as business managers for major ministries, and as
personnel directors for large hospitals. Many accounting graduates find jobs
with Big Eight accounting firms.
The School of Communications
The School of Communications combines access to high-technology
equipment with internships that give students practical experience in their

Many graduates of the School of Communications go on to advanced study
Liberty programs 8
at schools such as Penn State, the University of Virginia, and William &
Mary, pursuing careers in communications, law, and the ministry.
The School of Education
The most important benefit offered by the School of Education is
certification upon graduation, accepted in virtually every state in the
nation. The School also offers students the opportunity to study with a
number of different full-time professors, 61 percent of whom hold doctoral
degrees.
Education students make use of fully developed curriculum, art, and
materials preparation laboratories. In addition to required student teaching,
some majors have the opportunity to work one-on-one with local students in
the School's reading and math labs.
Every year, the School of Education receives more requests for teachers
than it can fill. Graduates find teaching positions across the United States
and in countries such as Africa, Korea, and the Philippines.
The School of Religion
The School of Religion gives students the opportunity to study with
dedicated professors, 86 percent of whom hold doctorates. Faculty members
enrich classroom study with their extensive experience in the field of
church ministry and missions. Students work with noted professionals,
including apologetics expert and lecturer Dr. J.P. Moreland and well-known
author and biblical scholar Dr. Norm Geisler.
The School of Religion also provides international experience through its
International Studies seminars. Participating students earn academic credit
for seminars taken in countries such as Israel, Greece, and Turkey.

Setting examples
Y
our preparation for a productive life as a Christian professional requires not
only mastering the information and tools of your discipline, but developing
the solid principles you'll need to use them. From the classroom to the
playing field to our guest lecture series, Liberty provides living examples of
what it means to be a Christian professional.
Professors who choose to lead
As a student at Liberty, you'll study with professors who are accomplished
scholars and Christians. More than half of our full-time professors hold the
highest degrees in their fields, staying up-to-date through writing, research,
and speaking. Our faculty includes a journalism professor who is a published
novelist, a human ecology professor who writes a
nutrition column for the local newspaper, and
music professors who perform in area opera
productions. Virtually all of our business

A personal commitment
As dedicated Christians, your Liberty professors take their role outside the
classroom seriously. They know you'll learn as much from watching them
interact with their families, their church, and their community as you will
from attending their classes. Some of our professors extend this commitment
by acting as dorm parents to a residence hall floor. By opening their homes
for movies, cookouts, and informal breaks from campus responsibilities,
Liberty dorm parents give you the personal support and encouragement
that are so important as you grow toward Christian maturity.
Following the leaders
Every year, Liberty provides a wealth of opportunities for you to learn from
dynamic Christian leaders in ministry, business, government, and sports.
In addition to Chancellor Jerry Falwell's weekly talks, you'll be inspired
by the living examples of people such as Jack Wyrtzen of Word of Life
International, author Josh McDowell, and Southern Baptist Convention
President Jerry Vines. You'll also have the chance to hear from high-profile
public figures such as President George Bush, former President Ronald
Reagan, and Wendy's Incorporated founder Dave Thomas. And you'll get a
glimpse of the glamour and challenge of professional sports through talks by
stars such as Tom Landry, former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, and Joe
Gibbs of the Washington Redskins.

hundreds of Liberty students who annually seek a cross-cultural ministry
experience. Through this program, students from all academic disciplines
take the gospel to countries such as Brazil,
Argentina, Chile, Australia, and the Soviet Union.
In one year alone, Liberty students criss-crossed
the globe, visiting more than 20 countries on six
continents. They took food, clothing, and Bibles

hen you enroll at Liberty, you join an active and diverse community of 5,200
Christian students. Like most college students, they struggle with career
choices, fall in love, argue with their roommates, and find strengths they
never knew they had. But because all our students profess a living faith in
Jesus Christ, their relationships are enriched by
an unusual level of love and support.

friends. In addition to our main cafeteria and deli, you can stop between
classes at LUey's in Liberty's newly completed student center,

Annual highlights include the Miss Liberty Pageant and the Spring Fling.
For a break from campus life, Liberty's shuttle bus service takes you to
the shops, bookstores, and restaurants in Lynchburg's River Ridge Mall and
surrounding plazas. Or you can visit one of many nearby historical sites
including Monticello, Natural Bridge, and Appomattox Court House. And for
nature lovers, the spectacular beauty of the Blue Ridge Parkway is just a
short drive from campus.
Upholding the standard
As a new student at Liberty, you'll be assigned a room in an all-men's or all-
women's residence hall. Like all Liberty students, you'll be asked to uphold
University expectations that are designed to nurture an environment of
healthy respect and Christian behavior, and to encourage you to balance
responsibility and freedom, study and fun.
Along with your classmates, you'll attend Sunday and Wednesday services
of the Thomas Road Baptist Church. Campus chapel services, held three
times each week, further encourage your personal spiritual growth. If
you're like most of our students, you'll look forward to this time of renewal
and recharging.

the Thomas Road Baptist Church is the laboratory for practical
application of what is learned in the classroom.

DOCTRINAL POSITION
We affirm our belief in one God, infinite Spirit, creator, and sustainer of all things, who
exists eternally in three persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These
three are one in essence but distinct in person and function.
We affirm that the Father is the first person of the Trinity and the source of all that God is
and does. From Him the Son is eternally generated and from Them the Spirit eternally
proceeds. He is the designer of creation, the speaker of revelation, the author of redemption,
and the sovereign of history.
We affirm that the Lord Jesus Christ is the second person of the Trinity. Eternally begotten
from the Father, He is God. He was conceived by the virgin Mary through a miracle of the
Holy Spirit. He lives forever as perfect God and perfect man: two distinct natures inseparably
united in one person.
We affirm that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, proceeding from the Father
and the Son and equal in deity. He is the giver of all life, active in the creating and ordering of
the universe; He is the agent of inspiration and the new birth; He restrains sin and Satan; and
He indwells and sanctifies all believers.
We affirm that all things were created by God. Angels were created as ministering agents,
though some, under the leadership of Satan, fell from their sinless state to become agents of
evil. The universe was created in six historical days and is continuously sustained by God;
thus it both reflects His glory and reveals His truth. Human beings were directly created, not
evolved, in the very image of God. As reasoning moral agents, they are responsible under God
for understanding and governing themselves and the world.
We affirm that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, though written by men, was
supernaturally inspired by God so that all its words are the written true revelation of God; it is
therefore inerrant in the originals and authoritative in all matters. It is to be understood by all
through the illumination of the Holy Spirit, its meaning determined by the historical, gram-
matical, and literary use of the author's language, comparing Scripture with Scripture.
We affirm that Adam, the first man, willfully disobeyed God, bringing sin and death into
the world. As a result, all persons are sinners from conception, which is evidenced in their
willful acts of sin; and they are therefore subject to eternal punishment, under the just con-
demnation of a holy God.
We affirm that Jesus Christ offered Himself as a sacrifice by the appointment of the Father.
He fulfilled the demands of God by His obedient life, died on the cross in full substitution and
payment for the sins of all, was buried, and on the third day He arose physically and bodily
from the dead. He ascended into heaven where He now intercedes for all believers.
We affirm that each person can be saved only through the work of Jesus Christ, through
repentence of sin and by faith alone in Him as Savior. The believer is declared righteous, born
again by the Holy Spirit, turned from sin, and assured of heaven.
We affirm that the Holy Spirit indwells all who are born again, conforming them to the
likeness of Jesus Christ. This is a process completed only in Heaven. Every believer is
responsible to live in obedience to the Word of God in separation from sin.
We affirm that a church is a local assembly of baptised believers, under the discipline of the
Word of God and the lordship of Christ, organized to carry out the commission to evangelize,
to teach, and to administer the ordinances of believer's baptism and the Lord's table. Its of-
fices are pastors and deacons, and it is self-governing. It functions through the ministry of gifts
given by the Holy Spirit to each believer.
We affirm that the return of Christ for all believers is imminent. It will be followed by seven
years of great tribulation, and then the coming of Christ to establish His earthly kingdom for a
thousand years. The unsaved will then be raised and judged according to their works and
separated forever from God in hell. The saved, having been raised, will live forever in heaven
in fellowship with God.
"
where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is LIBERTY."

INSTITUTIONAL PURPOSE
The primary responsibility of Liberty University is to provide programs of instruction,
research, and public service, thus being an instrument of renewal and development for the
Christian and world communities. The modern University maintains links with the past, serves
to perpetuate cultural values, and helps people to understand a rapidly changing society and
meet the challenges of an information-based, technologically oriented age. Since rapid change
seems likely for the foreseeable future, people must have the skills and learning habits that
make it possible for them to continue to learn throughout their lives.
Programs of research and other creative and scholarly contributions are essential for the
University to contribute to the solutions of the social, scientific, and technical problems of
society and discharge effectively its upper division and graduate teaching responsibilities. The
University must also serve its constituency through its continuing education and public service
programs.
The University encourages the enrollment of students from all segments of society and from-
all states and nations. It provides the intellectual climate in which the search for solutions to
societal problems can be nurtured and where teaching and learning are the pivotal functions.
In the context of the fundamentals of the historic Christian faith, students at Liberty
University are provided principles and resources for spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and
cultural growth and physical well-being which help them to:
1.
Develop a Christian world view, enabling them to bring honor to the Lord Jesus Christ
and to recognize God by studying His revelation in Scripture, nature, and history;
2.
Communicate the views and values of the fundamental Christian faith to the world;
3
Develop skills that facilitate intellectual inquiry, creativity, and critical thinking;
4.
Establish a disciplined life, manifested in a healthy integration of mental, physical,
moral, and psychological well-being;
5.
Understand the American democratic process, the free enterprise system, and their roles
in maintaining the strength and viability of these traditions;
6.
Acquire a sensitivity for the needs of society, thus preparing them to be mature, in-
formed, and effective Christian leaders in a complex world and motivating them to serve
God and mankind.
Liberty University seeks to preserve the relationship between the educational experience and
the dynamics of the Christian life by serving persons of all ages in their quest to gain
knowledge, to find imaginative solutions to human problems, and to enhance the quality of life
in the world.

"Life is a brief adventure. We need to be applying ourselves every moment of our time, with
every ounce of our energies, to do the good, the perfect, and the acceptable will of God; so that
when we have run the course and our life is over, it will have counted for eternity. There are
many good things to do, but we need to determine which are the best things to do and spend
our lives doing those things.
"Likewise, college is a brief adventure. Liberty University's goal is to prepare the total
person to run life's course. We know that textbook knowledge alone is not enough. You need
wisdom to know how to choose God's best for you.
"In academic, physical pursuits, social endeavors, and spiritual matters, we are dedicated to
helping you achieve your best."
Chancellor Falwell
12
"The history of Liberty University has been a chronology of miracles and accomplishments.
From its inception, Liberty has been a dynamic institution. While other colleges and univer-
sities have been built on years and years of small, calculated steps, God has seen fit to bless and
advance us in leaps and bounds. Today, Liberty is known as one of the fastest growing
universities in America. It is also recognized as one of the world's largest universities of its
kind.
"Liberty University is concerned with cultivating the intellect and discipling the mind; it
endeavors to provide a Christ-centered education that is comprehensive in scope, yet practical
in approach. Liberty University strives to produce students who can cope not only with the
problems of their times, but who are also committed to living, teaching, and preaching the
saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world."

ADMISSIONS
Vice President for University Relations and Administration: Belden
Director of Admissions: Clark
Admissions Counselors: Freshour, Harris, Mincey, Sims, Wegert
ADMISSION POLICIES
General Requirements. Admission to Liberty is governed by policies and procedures
developed by the Committee on Academic Standards and Admissions. The prospective student
is assessed according to academic background, moral behavior and character, and personal
testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ. In the consideration process, the applicant's complete
prior academic record, recommendations, plans for the future, and personal information is
reviewed. If the applicant meets the required standards in these areas, he is admitted to the
University on a semester-to-semester basis. The University reserves the right to refuse ad-
mission to any individual who has not received Christ as his personal Saviour. Applicants for
admission will be considered without regard to sex, race, national origin, or handicap.
Initial admittance to Liberty does not imply automatic readmission in future semesters. The
University reserves the right to refuse admission or re-admission to any prospective student or
returning student. Any applicant who intentionally withholds pertinent information or who
falsifies such information may be required to withdraw from Liberty.
ADMISSION PROCEDURES
Initial Application Procedure. Communications regarding admission should be addressed to
the Director of Admissions. Applications for admission to Liberty should be made early so
that necessary arrangements for entrance may be made.
Items To Be Submitted. Each applicant for admission to the University must submit to the
Office of Admissions the following items:
1.
Application for Admission. This is contained in the back of this catalog and provides the
University with information such as personal testimony, academic background, and
moral character.
2.
Secondary School Academic Record. Two copies of the official transcript of the ap-
plicant's high school record are to be mailed directly from the office of a recognized high
school, certifying graduation with a minimum of 16 units. A mature individual may be
admitted on any state high school equivalency diploma, subject to close academic
supervision; the General Education Development Test (G.E.D.) is used for those who did
not finish their high school work and did not receive a diploma. Applicants presenting
their scores on the G.E.D. Test will be treated on an individual basis.
3.
Health Record. The applicant must submit a completed Health Record. This health form
should be sent within six (6) months prior to the applicant's arrival. This form does not
need to be submitted prior to acceptance; however, it may be. Any applicant who
withholds pertinent health information may be required to withdraw from the University.
4.
Photograph. The applicant is requested to include a wallet-size photograph with the
application.
5.
Recommendations. Three are required.
6.
SAT or ACT. A freshman applicant must have taken the Scholastic Aptitude Test
(Verbal and Math Sections) administered by the College Board, or the equivalent test
given by the American College Testing Program prior to admission. Though there is no
established minimum score, the University does expect a score which indicates ability to
do satisfactory college work. The scores are used for academic counseling and placement.
The applicant should take either of these examinations by December of his senior year in
high school. The Student Descriptive Questionnaire of the SAT or the Student Profile
Section of the ACT should be completed. The applicant may be accepted pending receipt
of the score if his grade point average is sufficiently high. Information on the SAT may be
16
obtained by writing to the College Board, P.O. Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540.
The American College Testing Program, P.O. Box 168, Iowa City, Iowa, 52240, has
information on the ACT.
7. Financial Aid Forms (FAF). After an individual has applied to the University, the
Financial Aid Form will be sent to him. In order to obtain any available benefits, it is
expected that the FAF will be completed and filed with the appropriate agency. Details
are available in the section on Student Financial Aid.
Notification. The applicant must submit all of the required forms before he may be accepted
as a regular student. When the required forms have been received and evaluated, the applicant
will be notified concerning his acceptance or nonacceptance. Following notification of ac-
ceptance, the applicant will receive information pertinent to attendance.
Fees. A nonrefundable and nontransferable fee must accompany each application. This is to
cover the cost of processing the application and does not apply toward the applicant's other
fees or tuition.
A nonrefundable and nontransferable Confirmation Fee is required after notification of
acceptance is received. This fee should be paid within two (2) weeks after the notification of
acceptance or as soon as the decision to attend is made.
High School Students. The high school applicant must complete all of the forms that are
listed for the initial application procedure. Two copies of the official high school transcript
must be sent directly to the Office of Admissions from the high school that certifies the ap-
plicant's graduation. A student who has a low high school average and who is accepted will be
placed on academic warning for at least one semester. During his warning period, he will be
enrolled in EDUC 100 Reading and Study Strategies, a course designed to train students in
reading and study skill strategies needed for success in college. He will be encouraged to attend
Skill Seminars which are provided for the entire student body. In addition to the services made
available to him through the Learning Assistance Center, the Tutoring/Testing Center
provides free peer tutoring.
Transfer Students. The transfer applicant must complete all of the forms that are listed for
the initial application procedure with the following exception: the transfer applicant who has
completed 30 semester hours or the equivalent at an accredited or recognized institution does
not need to submit a high school transcript or standardized test scores except when specifically
requested to do so by the University. Two copies of the official transcript from each institution
of higher learning attended must be sent directly to the Office of Admissions from the
Registrar(s) of the respective institution(s). The student who intends to transfer to Liberty must
be eligible for readmission at the last institution attended. The record of a student who wishes
to transfer with a grade point average below "C" may be reviewed by the Committee on
Academic Standards and Admissions before a decision is made for acceptance. A student who
is on academic probation at another institution and who is accepted will be placed on academic
probation for at least one semester.
Evaluation of Transfer Credits. Credit will be allowed for those courses in which the student
has made a grade of "C" or better and which are equivalent to courses offered at Liberty.
Transcripts are evaluated by the Registrar's Office under the guidelines established by the
Committee on Academic Standards and Admissions. If the institution from which credit is
being sought is not accredited, the Committee on Academic Standards and Admissions will
judge the acceptability of credits on an individual basis.
Courses will be applied to the student's program as applicable. At any point prior to the
student's last semester at Liberty, he may petition to have courses which are listed as electives
to substitute for required courses by using the Course Substitution Form. These forms may be
obtained from Chairmen or the Registrar's Office.
Credit may be allowed for courses completed at military service schools if this credit is
recommended in A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services.
The work must also be applicable to the student's program of study.
Readmission. A student who has withdrawn from the University must apply for readmission
through the Office of Admissions. An application for readmission, a readmission fee, and a
new pastor's recommendation are necessary for each applicant for readmission. The student is
readmitted under the same academic standing that he had when he left Liberty. A student who
fails to attain and maintain the scholastic standing for his classification at Liberty may apply to
attend summer school in an effort to raise his average to meet eligibility requirements for
returning to a regular semester.
Anyone applying for readmission who has been dismissed from the University must submit
17
his application NOT LESS THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS PRIOR TO REGISTRATION.
Audit. A person who is not a degree candidate and who desires to audit classes must com-
plete an application for admission. This is to be accompanied by an application fee.
Only lecture courses may be audited. Courses requiring labs, private instruction, etc., may
not be audited.
Special Students. Category One: This special student is one who does not have a high school
diploma or its equivalent. An applicant may be admitted as a special student provided he gives
evidence of ability to pursue the courses elected. A special student in this category may become
a candidate for a degree only after the regular entrance requirements are satisfied and the
person is accepted by the Office of Admissions.
Category Two: This special student is one who is not a degree candidate, but who is able to
meet the necessary academic requirements for admission to the University. A special student in
this category may become a candidate for a degree only after a formal request is submitted to
the Office of Admissions and is approved.
Category Three: A student who has been academically suspended or dismissed from a post-
secondary institution may take courses with approval from the Director of Admissions upon
the recommendation of the Registrar. A student in this category is not a candidate for a degree.
Courses taken are for personal enrichment only and will not count toward a degree. The
Registrar may re-enroll these students between continuous semesters.
Category Four: A student may be admitted to take intensive or modular courses for credit
without satisfying all admissions requirements. Acceptance is given for a particular course;
therefore, the student must reapply for each course. This student is not a degree candidate but
may petition for Regular Admission status at any time, providing he meets all regular entrance
requirements.
Category Five: A student may be admitted to take intensive and/or modular courses for
credit without having to satisfy all admissions requirements. Acceptance is given for a par-
ticular course; therefore, the student must reapply for each course. This student is not a degree
candidate but may petition for Regular Admission status at any time, providing he meets all
regular entrance requirements.
International Admission. Liberty is authorized under Federal Law to enroll nonimmigrant
alien students. Any person who is not a citizen or permanent resident of the United States and
who desires to be admitted to the University must contact the Office of Admissions concerning
the special requirements for admission. Application should be made one year in advance of the
intended date of attendance. The applicant must take the Test of English as a Foreign
Language if English is not his national language and an official score report must be forwarded
to the University before an admission decision can be reached. The minimum acceptable score
for admission to Liberty is 500. Admission to certain English and speech courses will be
determined by the TOEFL score in conjunction with diagnostic assessments administered after
the student arrives on campus. All English second language/dialect students must register for
Speech 100/ESL (fall semester) and English 100/ESL (spring semester) unless higher
placement is warranted on the basis of test scores and/or a proficiency interview. Information
regarding the TOEFL may be obtained from Test of English as a Foreign Language, Box 899,
Princeton, New Jersey, 08540, USA.
An unmarried student under the age of twenty-two is required to reside in residence housing
provided by the University. An unmarried student who is twenty-two years of age or older may
choose to reside off campus; however, it is recommended that a minimum of one semester be
spent in University residence housing to help the international student in adjustments to culture
and/or climatic differences. On-campus housing is not available for married students.
International applicants must supply documentation of health insurance before admission to
the University is issued.
Each international resident student must document his availability of funds to pay for all
University related expenses for the regular nine-month academic schedule. He who intends to
remain during the summer must document additional funds for living expenses.

The University Honors Program. The University Honors Program is designed to provide the
outstanding student with the opportunity to work with other honor students in specially
designed courses and to provide the highly motivated student with the opportunity to reach out
on his own to seize every opportunity to develop his highest personal and intellectual potential.
Once admitted to Liberty University, a qualified student may apply for admission to the
program. If admitted to the program, the student may begin taking honors courses his first
semester at Liberty.
Criteria for admission to The Honors Program are: (1) SAT scores of over 1200, or ACT
composite score of 29 or above; (2) GPA of 3.5; (3) ranking in the top 10% of high school
class; (4) outstanding achievement that can be documented by such performance and letters of
recommendation; (5) an essay of three to five typed pages on the topic.: "What I hope to gain
from an education at Liberty University." Applications are reviewed by the Director of The
Honors Program and the Honors Council of the Faculty. Invitations to enter the program are
offered only by the Director.
The eligibility of a transfer or foreign student is determined on an individual basis. Such
students must enter The Honors Program by the beginning of the third year. Students who are
not admitted to The Honors Program upon initial enrollment at Liberty may petition to enter
the program at any time after the end of their first semester, but not later than the beginning of
their Junior year. This petition will be accepted and reviewed on the basis of a 3.5 GPA for all
work at Liberty and the recommendation of their advisor and, if a major has been declared, by
their department chairman.
A student must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.5 and continue in good standing with the
University to remain in The Honors Program. Information concerning scholarships in The
Honors Program may be obtained from the Director of The Honors Program.
Check-In and Registration. The dates for check-in and registration are indicated on the
University calendar printed in the front of this publication. All students should complete the
required processes on those days scheduled. Those who do not will be charged late fees. In-
formation about check-in and registration will be given to each applicant after his notification
of acceptance.
Advanced Placement. Advanced placement and academic credit toward a degree will be
awarded to the student who receives a grade of three or higher on the Advanced Placement
Examinations of the College Board. Credit is awarded only in those areas applicable to the
Liberty curriculum. The student must pay an administrative fee to have this credit added to his
Liberty transcript. Information about these examinations can be obtained from the College
Board Advanced Placement Examination, P.O. Box 977, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540.
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP). College credit may be earned through both
the general examinations and the subject examinations of the College-Level Examination
Program. The five general examinations cover the areas of English composition with essay,
mathematics, natural science, social studies-history, and humanities. A student may receive
credit in each of the five areas for a total of twenty-seven semester hours. Each subject
examination is equal to three or six hours of credit, depending on whether the material is
designed to measure a one-course or two-course sequence. In the subject examinations, credit
is awarded only in those areas applicable to the University curriculum. The student must pay
an administrative fee to have this credit added to his Liberty transcript. Contact the College of
General Studies for minimum acceptable scores.
Proficiency Examination Program (PEP). This program may also be used to earn credits in
certain academic areas. For information write ACT PEP Coordinator, ACT Proficiency
Examination Program, P.O. Box 168, Iowa City, Iowa, 52240. The student must pay an
administrative fee to have this credit added to his Liberty transcript.
Credit by Examination and/or Credit for Non-College Learning. To apply for credit by
examination, other than Advanced Placement, CLEP, or PEP, the student must submit his
request to challenge a course to the department of the University in which the course is offered.
Upon approval of the request, challenge examinations must be designed and must be approved
by every member of the department. The student's score must be accepted as passing by every
member of the department before credit will be awarded.
To apply for credit for certain specific life experiences, such as on-the-job training, non-
credit post-secondary programs, and other experiences that parallel academic study programs,
the student must present a portfolio to the Registrar's Office. When the completeness of the
19
portfolio has been established, the portfolio will be sent to the instructor of record and the
Dean of the School that offers the program. Upon approval of both, the hours will be added to
the student's transcript by the Registrar's Office. Forms are available in the Registrar's Office.
For credit by examination or credit by evaluation of non-college learning, an administrative
fee will be assessed. This fee is nonrefundable in the event of unsuccessful completion of the
test.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Liberty follows the Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act of 1974. Details about the University policies are published in the student
handbook, The Liberty Way. Persons desiring additional information about the University
policies and procedures should call or write the Dean of Student Development.
ATTENDANCE AT LU IS A PRIVILEGE AND NOT A RIGHT. All students are
expected to conform to the standards and regulations established by the Ad-
ministration. Furthermore, the University may request the withdrawal of any
student who does not manifest the spirit of the institution, whether or not the
student has transgressed specific regulations.

Semester Credit System. The University operates on the semester system. The unit for
counting credit is the semester hour. A semester hour of credit consists of one fifty-minute
period of class work per week, with an assumption of two hours of outside preparation, or two
sixty-minute periods of laboratory work.
Grades, Quality Points, and Grade Point Average. All work is graded by letters which are
assigned quality points as interpreted below:
Quality Points
Per Semester
Grade

The grade of "I" shall be assigned by the instructor only if the student has been unable to
complete the course on time because of unavoidable circumstances. The grade must be ap-
proved by the instructor's Dean. A deadline for completing the work is set by the instructor.
An absolute maximum of four (4)) months may be granted in extreme cases, with a reasonable
length of time being set according to the circumstances involved. If the work is not completed
20
by the deadline, the grade designated by the instructor at the time the request for the "I" was
made will be recorded.
The grade of "M" shall be assigned by the instructor only if the student submits a medical
excuse from his physician. The grade must be approved by the instructor's Dean. The deadline
for completing the work will be the end of the semester in which he no longer submits a medical
excuse. If the work is not completed by the deadline, the grade as designated by the instructor
at the time of the request for the incomplete will be recorded.
To determine the grade point average, the quality points earned are divided by the semester
hours attempted (quality hours). A grade of "B," for example, in a course bearing three
semester hours of credit would be assigned nine quality points and a grade of "C" in that
course, six quality points. Thus, if a student takes 16 semester hours of work and earns 40
quality points, his grade point average is 2.50. Only courses taken at Liberty are used in
computing the grade point average. "W's" and "WF's" are not used in calculation of the
GPA.
Student Classification. The classification of a degree candidate depends on the number of
semester hours of college credit he has received.
FRESHMAN. A student who has met entrance requirements and who has earned fewer than
30 semester hours of college credit.
SOPHOMORE. A student who has at least 30 semester hours of college credit.
JUNIOR. A student who has at least 60 semester hours of college credit.
SENIOR. A student who has at least 90 semester hours of college credit.
Selection of Courses. Guidance for the student in interpreting Liberty's regulations and
procedures is provided by a corps of advisors drawn primarily from the divisions which offer
degree programs. Each student, upon entering the University, is assigned to an advisor.
Students should understand that all questions concerning academic problems should be taken
first to the advisor and, only later, when a problem remains unsolved, to the Registrar. The
student is encouraged to see his advisor for help with any problem he may encounter during the
academic year.
Semester Load. The normal semester load for a full-time undergraduate student is 14-17
hours per semester. The maximum number of hours which can be taken without special per-
mission is 18. A student who has established a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or better may, with the
approval of the Divisional Chairman, take up to 20 hours; over 20 hours requires the Dean's
signature. Students who have not declared a major must request permission of the Dean of the
College of General Studies.
Summer School at Liberty. Three to six hours is considered a normal load for a four-week
session of summer school. A total of 12 hours, including both sessions plus modular courses, is
considered full-time.
Dropping/Adding Courses. After a student and advisor have arranged the student's
semester program, changes are discouraged. No course can be added after the first week of
classes. Any course dropped during the first week will not be recorded on the student's per-
manent record. From the beginning of the second week of classes through the end of the ninth
week of classes, all drops will be recorded as "W." After nine weeks of classes, all drops will
be recorded "W" or "WF," depending upon the student's standing at the time the course is
dropped. The drop period ends on the last day of classes. Neither a "W" nor a "WF" is in-
cluded in calculating a GPA. Courses dropped with grades of "W" or "WF" are used in
determining a student's academic load for the semester, upon which tuition charges are based.
Exceptions to these deadlines may be granted by the Registrar in unusual circumstances, such
as extreme illness or other circumstances beyond the student's control.
No course is considered officially added or dropped until the proper form is submitted to the
Registrar so that the schedule of the student may be properly changed. This form requires the
written approval of the instructor of the course.
Course Repeating Policy. Students who want to repeat a course and have the first grade
removed from the cumulative grade point average must satisfy each of the following
guidelines:
a. Any course taken at Liberty in which the student earned the grade of "D" or "F" may
be repeated at Liberty.
b. The second grade will apply toward the cumulative grade point average.
21
c. A maximum of 12 semester hours may be repeated under this policy.
d. The grade which has been deleted from the computation of the cumulative grade point
average will not count towards hours attempted or completed, but will remain on the
record as a course taken.
e. EDUC 100, ENGL 100, or MATH 100 may be repeated without counting toward the
twelve (12) hours maximum.
f. This policy is to be retroactive to include any course taken at Liberty beginning with the
first semester of the 1979-1980 academic year.
IF THE CONDITIONS ARE ALL MET, THE STUDENT IS TO NOTIFY THE
REGISTRAR IN WRITING OF HIS INTENTION TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
POLICY.
In order to receive maximum benefits, the implementation of the above policy requires
careful planning by the advisor and the student. For example, it would probably be unwise for
a Freshman or a Sophomore to "waste" any of the twelve hours to repeat a course in which he
made a "D."
Withdrawal from Liberty. A student withdrawing from the University during the semester
must process the form provided for this purpose. It may be obtained from the Registrar's
Office. Since signatures of specified University officials are required on this form, with the
Registrar signing last, the effective date of withdrawal shall be the date the Registrar's
signature is affixed. Nonattendance does not constitute withdrawal from the University.
If official withdrawal occurs within the first 21 calendar days of classes, the record will show
the date of withdrawal, but no grades will be recorded. If withdrawal occurs after this time, the
student will receive grades of "W."
Withdrawing without prior administrative approval will result in an unofficial withdrawal
which will forfeit any financial refunds otherwise due. Grades of "F" will be recorded in all
courses for which the student is officially registered.
An expulsion resulting from violation of the disciplinary system will result in an ad-
ministrative withdrawal. Grades of "W" will be recorded in all courses for which he is of-
ficially registered.
A fee will be charged for the processing of an official, unofficial, or administrative with-
drawal. This fee will be deducted from any refund due on the student's account or he will be
responsible for payment of this fee.
Class Attendance. Regular and punctual attendance in classes is expected of all students at
Liberty.
Each faculty member is to state in writing to all students in a class the attendance policy for
that class. The faculty member is the judge of whether the student has met the stated at-
tendance requirements for the course.
Independent Study. A student may request to do an independent study project in a major
field or related discipline. This option is limited to graduating seniors or students who have
changed majors and have no other course of action. Permission for the independent study will
be granted only upon approval by the Departmental Chairman and the Dean of the School.
Forms are available in the Registrar's Office.
Course Audits. A student who wishes to audit, or take courses without credit, must indicate
his intention at the time of registration. Auditors will not be expected to take quizzes or
examinations. Courses audited cannot be counted toward meeting graduation requirements.
Only lecture courses may be audited. Courses requiring labs, private instruction, etc, may
not be audited.
Dean's List. Students who are enrolled for 12 or more hours and make an average of 3.50 or
above are placed on the semester honor roll, which is entitled the Dean's List.
Scholastic Regulations. Warning/Probation/Dismissal A student must maintain a
satisfactory standing in order to remain at Liberty. Satisfactory scholastic standings for
students enrolled in bachelor's programs are:
Level 1 (0-23 hours)
1.50
Level 2 (24-47 hours)
1.65
Level 3 (48-71 hours)
1.85
Level 4 (72-95 hours)
2.00
Level 5 (96 or more hours)
2.00
Students in the Associate program must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 for satisfactory
scholastic standing.
A student failing to attain and maintain the scholastic standing required for his classification
22
is placed on academic warning. During the next semester, he is limited to a thirteen-semester-
hour course load and is required to take EDUC 100 or 101.
At the end of that semester if the student fails to raise his grade point average to a
satisfactory level, he is placed on academic probation. During his next semester he is limited to
a thirteen-semester-hour course load, is required to take EDUC 101 and may not represent the
University on any team unless he receives approval from the appropriate committee.
Any student who is on academic probation and does not remove it in the succeeding semester
will be dismissed; however, if the student's cumulative grade point average has improved but is
not sufficient to remove probation, a second year of probation may be served.
A student who is academically dismissed may not enroll in the University as a degree can-
didate since academic dismissal is considered final. He may, however, enroll as a Special
Student, category three, as described in the Admissions section of this catalog.
At the end of each semester a list of students on academic warning, probation and dismissal
will be determined by the Registrar and approved by the Provost. An appropriate letter will be
sent to each student listed.
Size of Classes. Except under extreme circumstances, classes will be composed of a minimum
of 15.
Course Work of Other Institutions. A student who wishes to take a course at another in-
stitution must complete the appropriate form prior to registering for the class. The form may
be obtained from the Registrar's Office.
Credit for Seminars, etc. As part of the "action-oriented curriculum" at Liberty, certain
seminars or student exposure trips are approved by the Administration for academic credit. A
student who wishes to obtain credit for such activities must follow the procedures set forth by
the Registrar.
Transcript of Records. Official transcripts are made only at the written request of the
student concerned. No transcript will be issued for anyone who has failed to meet all financial
obligations to the University. Official transcripts are not released directly to the student.
Requests for transcripts are to be made directly to the Registrar. A fee of $2.00 for each
transcript should accompany the request.
Recording of Grades. All grades will be recorded in the Registrar's Office as reported by the
instructor in charge of the various courses. Once grades are recorded, requests for changes
must be submitted in writing by the instructor.
Academic Distinctions. Bachelor degree students who have a 3.85 average will receive the
distinction summa cum laude; 3.675 average, magna cum laude; 3.5 average, cum laude.
Honor students will be recognized at Commencement.
The grade point average of a student must meet the above criteria in each of these ways:
1. A cumulative GPA of 3.50 or better at Liberty.
2. A minimum 32 hours residency at Liberty is necessary.
3. Honors are determined by the cumulative GPA of all post-secondary work.
4. The student is allowed to march in May with the distinction calculated on April 1.
However, the distinction entered on the diploma and transcript is based on the final
cumulative GPA.
Associate degree students who have a 3.50 cumulative average will receive honors at
Commencement.
To receive the distinction of graduating with honors in The University Honors Program, a
student must meet the following requirements in addition to those mentioned above:
1. Must complete a minimum of twenty-four hours in honors courses, if the student entered
The Honors Program at the beginning of his Freshman year. Of this 24 hours, 12 hours are to
be taken in the honors sections of general elective courses; 12 are to be taken in Junior and
Senior Honors Seminars offered from various majors in the Arts and Sciences. This
requirement is reduced by three (3) hours for each semester completed prior to the student's
invitation to join The Honors Program.
2. Normally only one three-hour upper-level course may be taken via independent study.
3. Must complete a Senior Project which will give the student the opportunity for in-
dependent activity in synthesizing his knowledge in the field of concentration and integrating it
with his other studies. This project should be from 24 to 30 typed pages and exhibit a level of
competence in his chosen field and of scholarly integration which is considered of high
achievement. The Project will be judged by the Director and an advisor from the student's
major department.
23
Students are encouraged to obtain all changes to their schedules and any variations
from the requirements for their program as listed in this catalog in writing. A copy
should be placed on file in the Registrar's Office.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
General Requirements. A student must have all courses in the General Education Core and
in his declared major and minor completed before he can be considered a candidate for
graduation. The Bachelor of Science Degree requires a minimum of 120 semester hours, while
the Bachelor of Arts requires a minimum of 123 hours. Of these total hours, a specified
number of upper-level (300-400) courses must be completed. Each program differs; therefore,
the student must follow his Status Sheet carefully.
The Associate of Arts Degree requires a minimum of 64 semester hours.
All Christian Service requirements, which are explained in the Spiritual Life section of this
publication, must be satisfied before a degree will be awarded.
Scholastic Requirements. Each degree program consists of: (1) designated General
Education Requirements, (2) a major, (3) a minor, and (4) electives. Electives may be taken
from the undergraduate courses offered in any department. A grade point average of 2.00 or
higher, unless otherwise specified in a particular major, is required for graduation.
To satisfy the requirements for the major and minor fields of study, only grades of "C" or
above in upper-level courses may be included. An average of "C" must be maintained in both
the major and minor fields and including all professional courses required of students in a
teacher preparation program.
Work in Residence. Thirty-two semester hours of the B.A. or B.S. must be done in residence
at Liberty. Fifty percent of the semester hours in the major and 50 percent of the semester
hours in the minor must be done in residence, unless otherwise specified on the Status Sheet.
Graduation Check List. After the bachelor's degree student has completed seventy-five (75)
hours toward graduation, the Registrar will evaluate his academic and Christian Service record
using his transcript and any approved exceptions to the program which might have been placed
in his file. The Associate student will be evaluated when he has completed thirty (30) hours
toward graduation. Copies of the evaluations will be sent to the student, his advisor, and the
Dean of his College/School.
Normally the Registrar will use the Status Sheet which was in effect at the time the student
entered Liberty. The exceptions might be new certification requirements for the Education
major, changes in the University's General Education Requirements which affect some
classifications, or changes in the structure of the major. All such changes will be made known
to the student body by means of written notices and/or announcements in department
meetings and/or general assemblies. Every attempt will be made to keep students informed of
curricular changes so that time is given for meeting any deficiencies prior to graduation.
Graduation Approval. All candidates for graduation must be approved by the Faculty and
the Board of Trustees. Conditions such as transfer credit and incomplete grades should be
removed by the opening of the last semester.
Graduation Ceremony. Degrees are granted at the regular meetings of the Board of Trustees
in September, January, and May of each year. All candidates for degrees may participate in the
annual graduation exercises which take place in May.
Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

The focal point of academic life at Liberty is the Library, which is an integral part of the
educational process and has a collection of materials that adequately undergirds the
curriculum. It is the center for scholarly pursuits and has the responsibility to help faculty and
students develop intellectually, culturally and spiritually. Therefore, it provides materials and
services necessary for research and study. Every effort is made to expand and arrange its
contents in a methodical way according to the Library of Congress classification system. Its
functions, organized and serviced through a well-qualified professional staff, support in-
struction and the academic programs of the University.
Moreover, the Library seeks to provide as much information as possible in a variety of forms
including print and nonprint materials, such as books, periodicals, microforms, records,
cassettes, film and other media. It endeavors to make this scholarly collection readily accessible
in open stacks in-a physical plant that is well-lighted and comfortable with an environment and
atmosphere conducive to study. An endeavor is made to have the Library meet the standards
set by professional organizations and accrediting agencies.
Furthermore, the Library is planned with the conviction that all readers will contribute to
their own research needs and educational purposes. It is expected they will prepare for their
careers and realize their fullest potential in God's service as they develop their ability to work
with all kinds of library materials.
The librarians are ready to assist students with their inquiries, assignments, and needs.
Besides a developing collection, Liberty subscribes to ERIC (Educational Resources In-
formation Center) and is a member of OCLC/SOLINET (Southeastern Library Network),
which gives ready access to small and large university and research libraries. Liberty is also a
member of DIALOG which allows for the usage of numerous data bases in a wide range of
subjects, CAVALIR which provides information on 2,000,000 titles, and WILSONLINE
aiding in Periodical Searches. A telefacsimile communication system between the major
libraries of the greater Lynchburg area and the Virginia State Library gives fast inter-library
loan service. Students, faculty, and staff members are encouraged to make requests for specific
titles to be purchased. A 3M book detector system has been installed to protect the collection.
In order to support the academic emphasis of the Library, its staff members seek to im-
plement a variety of objectives:
1. Provide learning materials in such quality and quantity so as to promote academic ex-
cellence and undergird the total curriculum;
2. Anticipate and meet the needs of new courses and educational programs of the Univer-
sity;
3. Encourage interdisciplinary studies through its collection in such a way as to provide a
distinctive Christian world view of life;
4. Promote an understanding of ideas which oppose the Christian philosophy of education
so as to equip students to combat false views and gain insights into the Biblical truth of man
and the world;
5. Help faculty and students in their research by means of a scholarly collection and, when
necessary, secure material through inter-library loans and library networks, as well as assist
and instruct those who seek to use the Library efficiently and effectively;
6. Establish and maintain a collection of nonbook materials to augment and enrich the
library holdings;
7. Stimulate extracurricular reading by making available materials in fiction, biography and
devotional literature;
8. Systematically weed the collection in order to maintain its usefulness and utility;
9. Develop a functional catalog and indexes to all library materials;
10. Provide a staff which is trained to be helpful and efficient in dealing with faculty and
students;
11. Make available self-service copying equipment;
25
12. Provide a quiet physical setting conducive to study with easy access to materials and
equipment;
13. Establish a system of control enabling maximum and suitable use of material, equipment
and facilities;
14. Cooperate with other libraries locally, regionally, and nationally.

of textbooks and supplies will average between $200 and $250 per semester. Books may be
charged to the student's account by permission of the Office of Business Affairs, if there is a
credit on his account.
Personal Needs. Laundry, cleaning, spending money, items related to personal grooming,
towels, sheets, pillow, off-campus transportation, etc., vary with the individual and are an
individual responsibility.
Contingency Deposit. A special Contingency Deposit of $50.00 is required of each student.
This deposit will cover assessments made by various agencies in the University. If charges are
made against the Contingency account, the student will restore the account to its original
amount at the next registration. If charges exceed the Contingency account, the student will
pay all charges and restore the account immediately.
The balance of the student's Contingency Deposit is refundable upon request when a student
permanently withdraws or graduates from the University. Any request for a Contingency
Deposit refund must be made within two (2) years.
Identification Card. Every student, dormitory or commuting, must have a student iden-
tification card issued to him. The charge for the I.D. is included in the General Fee. In the
event the card is lost, the student may purchase a duplicate at the cost of $25.00.
Unpaid Accounts. A student who has an unpaid account may be suspended from classes and
will not be eligible to take final examinations or to receive an official report of grades, tran-
scripts, or diploma. Students with an outstanding balance on the bill from a prior semester will
not be allowed to continue enrollment unless the account is paid in full. The student may be
responsible for any collection fees incurred in collecting the account.
Refunds. A student who withdraws from the University because of illness or other sufficient
28
cause, and whose withdrawal is officially approved, may receive a refund as follows:
Tuition: 75% will be credited during the first week of classes.
50% will be credited during the second week of classes.
25% will be credited during the third week of classes.
None will be credited after the third week of classes.
Dormitory Fee: If a student officially withdraws from the institution during the first three
weeks (beginning with the first official day of Check-In) of the semester, the dormitory fee will
be charged at the rate of $150 per week for any part of a week in which he resides in the dor-
mitory. There will be no rebate for the room portion of the dormitory fee after the first three
weeks; however, the meals portion will be rebated at a flat rate of $30.00 per week for the
unused portion of the semester.
Other Fees: There will be no rebate of the General or Conditional Fees.
A student who withdraws during the refund period forfeits all state and federal grants for
the semester.
Withdrawal Fee. A fee of $25.00 will be charged for the processing of an official, unofficial,
or administrative withdrawal.
Refund Policy. No refunds will be issued on a student's account until after the third (3rd)
week of school has been completed; included is any veteran who fails to enter the University,
who withdraws, or who is discontinued at any time prior to completion of a semester. The
amount of refund will be prorated according to the amount paid and the time completed in the
semester. A refund will be issued only upon the surrender of the student's identification card to
the Office of Business Affairs.
Requests for refunds must be submitted in writing to the Office of Business Affairs on or
before Wednesday noon of any given week in order to be eligible to receive the check on
Friday. Any student with a Guaranteed Student Loan should be aware that the lender must
require any refund of the loan credit balance to be applied toward the loan principal rather
than be released to the student, if the student is no longer enrolled for classes.
Guaranteed Student Loan recipients must submit a Disclosure Refund Statement on or
before Tuesday noon in order to be eligible to receive a check on Friday. Refunds are issued
only as the result of account overpayment. Checks that are co-payable to the University and
the student must be applied to the student's account. When the GSL check is payable to the
student and sent in care of the University, the University will release the check to the student.
At the time of disbursement of the GSL check, the student must satisfy his account.
All refunds related to the Office of Student Financial Aid, including loans, must be sub-
mitted in writing through that office to the Office of Business Affairs.

FINANCIAL AID
Director: Westervelt
Many factors are important in choosing a Christian University. A growing number of
American families are concerned about educational costs. How much are students and their
families expected to pay toward a college education? The purpose of this section is to provide a
clear understanding of what types of aid are available. The student's expense is made up of five
principle parts: tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, personal needs, and
transportation. All of these factors should be considered when determining how much a
student will need to spend for educational costs.
Financial aid is any grant, loan, scholarship, or employment offered to help a student meet
education related expenses. Grants and scholarships are "gift aid" programs and need not be
repaid, although special requirements for student participation are clearly outlined and must
be followed. Loans are usually offered at low interest rates and can be repaid over an extended
period after the student leaves this institution. Where aid is offered in the form of a job, the
student is paid an hourly rate for work actually performed.
Financial need is the difference between the amount of money a student and/or his family
can provide for his education, based upon a governmental formula, and the cost of attending
Liberty. The University is a member of the College Scholarship Service. All applicants for
financial aid are required to complete Financial Aid Forms (FAF) through the College
Scholarship Service to determine financial need. The College Scholarship Service does not
grant any financial assistance, but provides only an approved system for the Office of Student
Financial Aid to package student aid for the benefit of parents and students.
31
A student is encouraged to submit an application for financial aid no later than April 15.
Applications will be accepted after this date and will be given consideration for any funds that
may still be available; however, priority for campus-based aid will be given to early FAF ap-
plicants. To insure full consideration for all types of aid, a student must complete each of the
following steps:
Step 1.
Apply for admission to the University. A student currently not enrolled at
Liberty must be admitted prior to the awarding of student aid by the Office
of Student Financial Aid.
Step II.
File a Financial Aid Form with the College Scholarship Service. Liberty
should be listed as the institution to receive the need analysis report. The
school code number is 5385. The form is available from high school guidance
counselors or may be requested from the Office of Student Financial Aid.
Step III.
A financial aid transcript must be received from each college the student has
attended.
A student must declare himself a degree candidate to be eligible for Federal and/or
State financial aid. Auditors and special "non-degree" students do not qualify.
All awards are based on a minimum of twelve (12) hours which is full-time enroliment
for financial aid purposes.
FEDERAL PROGRAMS OF STUDENT AID
Eligibility for Federal Aid. In general, to be eligible for Federal aid under any of these
programs, a student must be enrolled at least half-time as a regular student in any eligible
program.
To receive Federal aid, a student must: (a) be making satisfactory progress toward the
completion of his course study; (b) not be in default on a National Direct Student Loan or
Guaranteed Student Loan at the school he plans to attend; and (c) not owe a refund on a Pell
Grant or a Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant.
Since aid received from any U.S. Department of Education student assistance program must
be used only for educational purposes, a student must sign a statement of educational purpose
saying that he will use the money only for tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, and
other expenses related to his attendance at a particular school.
Satisfactory Progress. The satisfactory progress requirement for continuing a student's
financial aid is based on the student's advancing from one level to the next. Level 1 is 0 to 23
hours with a GPA of 1.50; Level 2 is 24 to 47 hours with a GPA of 1.65; Level 3 is 48 to 71
hours with a GPA of 1.85; Level 4 is 72 to 95 hours with a GPA of 2.00; Level 5 is 96 or more
hours with a GPA of 2.00.
A student who does not meet minimum requirements of satisfactory progress will be denied
aid until progress to the next level is achieved. This means that a student may have to bear the
full cost of education without aid until the next level of progress is achieved.
In cases of extreme and unusual circumstances, the student may appeal any loss of aid in
writing to the Director of Student Financial Aid.
Transfer Students. If a student transfers from one school to another, his financial aid does
not automatically transfer. He must take the action necessary to continue receiving aid at
Liberty. As soon as possible, he should check with the Office of Student Financial Aid to find
out what aid will be available and what steps he must take in order to receive the financial aid.
Federal aid funds are prohibited for a transfer student until the Office of Student Financial Aid
receives a financial aid transcript from each institution of higher education previously at-
tended.
Pell Grant. A Pell Grant, formerly known as the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, is
money to help pay for an education after high school. Unlike loans, these grants do not have to
be paid back. Awards range from $250 to $2200. The actual amount to be received depends on
the financial information reported on a student's application; whether he is a full-time or part-
time student, how long he will be enrolled during the academic year, and the cost of education.
The SAR is the official notification of a student's eligibility index number. The lower the
number, the higher the award. If it appears that the application for a Pell Grant was incorrectly
completed, only two copies of the SAR will be received. The student will be told what in-
32
formation the Department of Education needs to calculate his eligibility index number. To be
eligible for the Pell Grant, a valid SAR must be received by the Office of Student Financial Aid
on or before the last day of a student's enrollment.
College Work-Study (CW-S). The CW-S can provide jobs for students who need financial
aid and who must earn a part of their education expenses. A student may apply if he is enrolled
as a regular student in an eligible program. The amount of a CW-S award depends on a
student's financial need and the amount of money Liberty has for this program; however, his
pay will be at least the current Federal minimum wage. Generally, College-Work Study awards
will be made on the basis of academic level: Level 1 may earn $600, Level II may earn $700,
Level III may earn $800, and Levels IV and V may earn $900. The total amount of aid a
student is awarded from Federal and non-Federal sources cannot exceed his financial need.
Guaranteed Student Loans. A Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) is a low interest loan made
to a student by a lender such as a bank, credit union, or savings and loan association to help
him pay for his education after high school. These loans are insured by either the Federal
Government or a State guarantee agency. Therefore, the student must demonstrate a need for
the loan by completing the Financial Aid Form.
If the student is a dependent or independent undergraduate, he can borrow up to $2,625 a
year for Levels I & II and $4,000 a year for Levels III-V. Since only one GSL per student per
academic year will be processed, the student should plan carefully when requesting less than
the maximum.
The total GSL debt he can have outstanding as an undergraduate is $17,250.
A GSL application may be obtained from a local lender, a state guarantee agency, or from
Liberty University. After the student completes his part of the application, the student should
then submit his application to the University's Guaranteed Student Loan Officer for further
processing. The University will forward all applications directly to the lender. Students who
plan to have GSL funds on hand by the beginning of the fall semester should submit their GSL
application to the GSL Office by June 1.
Plus Loan. The parent, who is a citizen or resident of the United States, of any student who
is enrolled at least half-time is an eligible applicant. Income limit is not a criteria and financial
need is not required. The parent may borrow a maximum of $4,000 per academic year of
enrollment per son or daughter in attendance. Repayment of the loan at the established interest
rate begins 60 days following initial disbursement of the parent loan.
National Direct Student Loan. The University will not participate in the NDSL program
during the current year. Students are asked to apply for a Guaranteed Student Loan and/or
Parent Loan as an alternate route for assistance.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant. A Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant (SEOG) is a gift of money to help a student pay for his undergraduate education after
high school.
STATE OF VIRGINIA ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Tuition Assistance Grant Program. The Tuition Assistance Grant Program (TAGP) was
established in 1973 to help narrow the "tuition gap" between the generally higher cost of
private institutions and the lower tuition charged by the state-supported institutions, thereby
encouraging a student's freedom of choice in matching individual educational goals with the
offerings of a diverse system of higher education.
A completed application must be submitted to the Office of Student Financial Aid before
June 1 in order to be considered for the maximum award amount.
Applicants. who will be enrolling as full-time undergraduate students in an approved
program of study at an eligible Virginia private institution may be eligible for an award. In
addition, an applicant must also be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, must
not have previously received a bachelor's degree, and must have been a bona fide Virginia
domiciliary resident for at least twelve (12) consecutive months by the opening of the fall term
of the current academic year.
College Scholarship Assistance Program (CSAP). All Virginia students who will be enrolled
as full-time undergraduates during the academic year and who have been Virginia domiciliary
residents for at least one year are eligible to apply for the CSAP award. Financial need must be
demonstrated by submitting the Financial Aid Form to the College Scholarship Service,
Princeton, New Jersey, 08541. Early applicants will be given priority consideration.
33
Rehabilitative Services. State and Federal education benefits may be available to assist
eligible students with varying degrees of physical disability (paralysis, sight, hearing, etc).

(b) they were discharged or released under other than dishonorable conditions; and,
(c) the VA détermines that they need vocational rehabilitation to overcome the handicap of
their disabilities.
Generally, a veteran is eligible for vocational rehabilitation for 9 years following discharge

conferences are held during the period to help the new student become more familiar with the
courses and curricula offered, and to assist him in deciding what subjects to take during this
period of orientation.
Basic Regulations. The Administration and Faculty have committed Liberty to the highest
standards of Christian conduct. No one will become spiritual merely by observing rules;
nonetheless, the spiritual student will desire to abide by the rules and regulations. The student
who is not prepared to accept instruction will never be prepared to give instruction. Liberty
holds as one of its foremost goals the development of men and women of strong character.
Firm moral conviction, evangelistic zeal, and dependable self-discipline are as important as
academic competence.
Each student is expected to conduct himself at all times according to the rules of good
society. Jesus Christ is the example, and each student should seek to mold his behavior into
that which brings honor to the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ. The University believes that a
Christian should manifest loyalty to the Lord Jesus Christ in every area of his life. The specific
regulations which govern student behavior are outlined in The Liberty Way which is available
from the Office of Student Development.
A single student must live in the dormitory unless he has the written permission of the Dean
of Commuting Students to reside off campus. Permission to reside off campus can be obtained
only by a student who is 22 years of age or older, or lives with immediate family members
(parents, grandparents, brother, sister, uncle, or aunt) who are married or are 25 years of age
or older. Guidelines for off-campus residence are available from the Office of Commuting
Students.
Off Campus Housing. While the University has no housing facilities for married students,
the Office of Commuting Students maintains a listing of houses, apartments, and mobile
homes available for rent or sale in the vicinity of the campus. Rental fees generally range from
$250.00 to $450.00 per month.
Social Life. Social life at Liberty is designed to stimulate students to develop in accordance
with the general purposes of the University. Students are encouraged to accept every legitimate
opportunity to engage in social functions. The Faculty and Administration emphasize the value
of growing out of well-directed social activities. The social life includes informal fellowship,
dormitory parties, hikes, intramural and team sports, concerts, plays, and many other ac-
tivities. Two of the highlights of the year are the annual Christmas and spring formal banquets.
All social functions are subject to the rules and regulations of the University.

Intercollegiate and Intramural Athletics. Intercollegiate athletic programs are an integral
part of American college life. At Liberty, athletics constitutes a vital segment of the area of
physical education and an integral part of the total University program. Liberty offers an
intercollegiate athletic program for both men and women who wish to live in an environment
that encourages personal growth in their Christian life while using their athletic skills in an
exemplary Christian manner. Liberty's goal is to provide a program in which men and women
can compete at the highest possible level. The Flames are members of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association.

interest.
During the fall and spring semesters, a program of competitive intramural sports is spon-
sored that opens the way for wide participation on the part of both men and women.
The University believes that sports, both intercollegiate and intramural, have definite
educational values, and that few other agencies possess so much that is potentially good for
character building in American youth.
Automobiles. At the time of check-in, a student who possesses an automobile must obtain a
parking permit by completing an automobile registration card and paying a vehicle registration
fee. A parking permit must be permanently affixed to every vehicle that is parked on the
campus. In addition, a student who drives or possesses a car must furnish proof that his
automobile is covered by adequate liability insurance (as defined by the University) from a
legal underwriting agency.
FRESHMAN RESIDENT STUDENTS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO BRING

SPIRITUAL AFFAIRS
Vice President for Administrative Relations & Director of Christian Service: Fields
Associate Director: White
Assistant Directors: Leverett, Rawlings, Weider
The spiritual development and welfare of each student is a vital part of the educational
process of Liberty. While enrolled in the University, the student will be encouraged to seek
God's will for his individual life and will be given an opportunity to exercise and use those gifts
and talents which God has given him. The student will be exposed to many of the outstanding
Christian leaders of this day through the chapel services and the services of the Thomas Road
Baptist Church. Many of the professors serve in a pastoral capacity and provide the student
with opportunities for private spiritual consultations.
Church Membership. A student coming from a church of like-faith in the Lynchburg area
may retain his membership in his home church which is listed on his application. The spiritual
vitality that has given birth to Liberty emanates from the Thomas Road Baptist Church. The
University is assisted financially by the Thomas Road Baptist Church and is considered a
ministry of that church. An important goal of the University is to impart to its students the
enthusiasm for local church evangelism which characterizes the ministry of the Thomas Road
Baptist Church.
Church Services. Students are required to attend Sunday morning and evening services and
Wednesday evening services of the Thomas Road Baptist Church, along with other special
meetings.
Devotions. Devotional times are held in the residence halls. Each student, however, is en-
couraged to maintain his own quiet time at the beginning and end of each day's activities.
Chapel. Chapel services are conducted three times each week and attendance is required.
Staff, administration, faculty and students participate in these services through testimony,
song, and messages.
Class Atmosphere. Prayer precedes each instruction period. There is an effort to conduct all
classes in an atmosphere which will promote spiritual growth and maturity as well as the at-
tainment of academic goals.
Christian Service. Each student enrolled in the University must complete an approved
Christian Service assignment for each semester in which he is registered for twelve (12) semester
credit hours or more. No student will be permitted to graduate without fulfilling this criteria.
During the first year, a new student must register for the Christian Service Orientation classes,
Christian Growth I and Christian Growth II. A transfer student from à Christian college may
be exempted from the Christian Growth I class if he has had a comparable class. Every student,
regardless of academic or church background, must take Christian Growth II.
Upper level students (Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors) have the opportunity to become
involved in the various areas of ministry within the Thomas Road Baptist Church. These areas
include children's ministries, bus ministry, special education ministry, senior citizens, youth
ministries, prison ministries, soul winning, athletic ministries, missions, television and radio
and various choral and instrumental groups. Another area of ministry is The King's Players, a
drama outreach of the University which is controlled solely by the University. The group is
directed and staffed totally by University faculty and students. The King's Players of Liberty
University has no organizational or operational connections with the King's Players, Inc., a
California corporation, and is not to be confused with that corporation.
A Junior or Senior student is eligible to complete his Christian Service requirements in
another local church of like-faith and practice, provided he has completed a minimum of one
(1) year of service within the Thomas Road Baptist Church ministries. He must also meet the
following qualifications: (1) the student must have been a member of his local church for at
least one year prior to his enrollment at Liberty; (2) the church must be close enough to
Lynchburg to ensure the student's faithful attendance; (3) the church must be in harmony with
the doctrine and practice of the Thomas Road Baptist Church. The one year of service is
beyond and does not include the Christian Service Orientation classes.
42
Married students are provided the opportunity to become involved in a special Christian
Service program designed specifically for them. Based upon the belief that strong families
build strong churches, and thus a strong nation, this program emphasizes the importance of
family devotions, family prayer, and family life with Christ as its foundation.
No student will be allowed to start a new church while still in school without the permission
and direction of the Christian Service Office, the Pastoral Training Office, and the Office of
Student Development. Additionally, no student is allowed to accept a pastorate without prior
approval of the Christian Service Director, the Pastoral Training Director, and the Vice
President for Student Development.
All Christian Service assignments are made and coordinated through the Vice President for
Administrative Relations and the Director of Christian Service. Evaluations of performance
are processed at the end of each semester. A student who fails a Christian Service assignment
must rectify that grade the following semester. Any student who fails one (1) Christian Service
assignment will be placed on Administrative Probation. A student who has three (3)
unreconciled failing Christian Service grades on record will be placed on Administrative
Suspension for one (1) semester. Upon returning to school, arrangements must be made to
reconcile the grades. No student will be permitted to graduate from the University with an
unreconciled failing Christian Service grade on record. All Christian Service grades are a part
of the student's permanent record and are included on his official transcript.
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Liberty offers a program of education based on an integration of fundamental Christian
beliefs and liberal arts tradition designed to prepare the student for the responsibilities of life
and leadership in society. A curriculum of required basic General Education courses underlies
the total program of each student. The program not only provides a foundation for later
specialization that permits detailed learning in one or more academic disciplines, but also
develops within students those skills, knowledge, and attitudes which will equip them for
effective personal and group living. Each student is admitted through the College of General
Studies and it is during the first several semesters that these General Education Requirements
are completed. After all entrance requirements are satisfied, a student may apply for admission
to a chosen major field of study.
The General Education Requirements for some majors may vary; however, the General
Education Requirements for most majors leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree are:

CREATION STUDIES
Director: Lester
Associate Director: J. Hall
The Center for Creation Studies is an interdisciplinary education and research institute
committed to the study of origins: of the universe, of the earth, of life, and of species. The
study of origins cuts across the traditional academic areas and draws upon knowledge from
religion, science, philosophy, and history.
The primary educational activity of the Center is the presentation of CRST 290, "The
History of Life.' This course is required of all Liberty students and is designed to provide
them with a thorough understanding of the creation-evolution controversy.
The Museum of Earth and Life History is another important educational work of the
Center. In the largest museum of its type, exhibits teach concepts of the creation model,
describe creationist research, and glorify the Creator of earth and life.
Research is conducted in the Center's laboratory where scientists are studying various
problems related to origins. In the research library, scholars are able to use an extensive
collection of creationist and evolutionist materials. Center staff members also conduct field
research as they search for fossils to be added to the museum's collection.

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
Director: Kroll
International Studies exist at Liberty to service each of the divisions. The philosophy of
International Studies is that on-site experiences greatly enhance the educational process.
Classroom lectures are enriched with the firsthand learning opportunities.
Since the very nature of International Studies programs is highly experimental, each
program is supplemented with presessions, substantial reading requirements, written
assignments and postsessions. The student is required to participate in all on-site lectures as
well.
Programs are added to the International Studies as student interest grows and foreign op-
portunities arise. Liberty is an associate school of the Institute of Holy Land Studies in
Jerusalem, Israel. Credit from courses taken at the Institute may be transferred directly to
Liberty where applicable.
OXFORD STUDY CENTER
Dean: R. Mawdsley
The Oxford Study Center exists to give Liberty University students the advantage of study
within the context of one of the oldest universities in the world. A working arrangement has
been established between Liberty University and Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, associated with
Oxford University. A limited number of students will spend approximately one month in
residence at Oxford each summer.
A study program abroad, centered at one of the great universities of Europe, will make a
unique contribution to the educational experience of Liberty students. Such an arrangement
reflects Liberty's position as a school where orthodox theology is infused by a spirit of in-
tellectual vigor, international concern, and theological relevance. Liberty faculty members will
be invited to lecture.
CURRICULUM FOR
HEARING IMPAIRED STUDENTS
Liberty, in order to fulfill its commitment to serve all Christian young people who wish a
Christ-centered education, has developed courses to assist the hearing impaired student in
adjusting to the university setting and university learning experience. Individual guidance and
assistance is given to each student by staff members of the Hands of Liberty, the deaf ministry
of the University and Thomas Road Baptist Church. Completion of these courses should
enable the student to continue his studies with minimal difficulties.

SUGGESTED PROGRAM SEQUENCES
In order to assist a student in projecting his program at Liberty, Status Sheets are
provided for the majors offered. Status Sheets are available in the Registrar's Office or from
the Dean of the School in which the major is offered. Each student should utilize the Status
Sheets from the beginning of his program at Liberty to enable him to know at all times his
progress through a program toward a degree. Although it is the goal of the Administration and
Faculty to provide guidance to each student, in finality it is the student who is responsible for
keeping track of his program sequence in order to complete the degree requirements.

COLLEGE OF
ARTS AND
SCIENCE
COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
Dean:
H. Glenn Sumrall
Associate Dean:
Boyd C. Rist
The College of Arts and Sciences provides learning opportunities in the academic disciplines
relating to man's cultural, social and scientific achievements. Through general education
courses in the College of Arts and Sciences, all Liberty students receive instruction in the arts,
social sciences, natural sciences, and mathematics and, thereby, are better prepared to respond
effectively to the issues of contemporary life.
The College offers instruction in anthropology, art, aviation, biology, chemistry, computer
science, drama, economics, geography, history, human ecology, mathematics, military
science, music, physical science, physics, psychology and sociology.
Teacher Certification. Liberty University offers teacher training programs which are fully
approved by the State of Virginia Department of Education. Among the options available to
students through the College of Arts and Sciences are courses of study leading to certification
in biology; home economics (family and community studies); history; mathematics; music
(choral or instrumental); and social sciences.
At the time that this catalog went to press, all colleges in the State of Virginia were in the
process of revising teacher training programs in accordance with new requirements which were
mandated by the State. Although Liberty's programs have received preliminary approval, the
exact plan for all specific requirements has not been finalized.
In general, those who enter into the newly revised teacher training plan may expect to
complete an academic major, to be subject to the same general education requirements as all
other students, and to complete a set of academic and practicum experiences related to
professional teacher training. The revised programs have been planned so as to allow degree
completion within a four-year period.
Those desiring more specific information about the revised teacher certificate plan may
contact the chairman of the department in the specialty involved, or they may seek assistance
from the Dean of the School of Education.
DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY SCIENCE AND AVIATION
Assistant Professors: Fields (Chairman), MacDermott
Instructors:
Thomas, Heath

Army ROTC is a program that provides college-trained officers for the U.S. Army, the
Army National Guard and the U.S. Army Reserve. Army ROTC is traditionally a four-year
program consisting of a Basic Course and an Advanced Course. Basic ROTC courses are
offered with the cooperation of the Military Science Department of Washington & Lee
University. Students with veteran status, Reserve or National Guard membership, or three
years of Junior ROTC are eligible for placement credit for the Basic Course. Entry into the
Advanced Course requires approval of the department head. The Advanced Course subjects
are available to Liberty students as special students at Lynchburg College.
In addition to classroom instruction, Basic Course students may participate on a voluntary
basis in the extra-curricular activities conducted by the ROTC Department. These activities
include Rappelling Clinics, Adventure Training, Tank Driving, and many others.
Army ROTC Scholarship. Students attending Liberty are eligible to apply for Army ROTC
Two-and Three-year Scholarships. These scholarships pay for university tuition, textbooks,
laboratory fees, and other purely academic expenses for each year that the scholarship is held.
Scholarship cadets also receive subsistence allowance (tax free) of up to $1000 each school year
that the scholarship is in effect.
The Three-Year Scholarships are available to all freshmen at Liberty, to include those not in
ROTC, while Two-Year Scholarships are available to all sophomores, to include those not
taking ROTC.
Application for Scholarships. The student should apply to the ROTC Department early in
the first semester of his freshman or sophomore year, but no later than the end of the semester.
An applicant must:
1. be a citizen of the United States when he accepts the award.
2. be 17 years of age before the scholarship becomes effective.
3. have satisfactory grades in academic and ROTC courses.
4. be recommended by the professor of Military Science.
5. have at least three years, for a Three-Year Scholarship, or two years, for a Two-Year
Scholarship, of study remaining for a baccalaureate degree.
The selection of ROTC Scholarship recipients is based on University records in both
academic and military studies, if enrolled in ROTC, personal interview and observation by the
professor of Military Science, and demonstrated motivation toward an Army career.
DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN ECOLOGY
Associate Professor: Babcock (Chairman)
Assistant Professors: Miller, D.T., Simons
Instructor:
Morgan
The Department of Human Ecology offers a broad range of subject matter areas from the
perspective of the family. The interaction of the family unit with the near and far environments
is studied. Human Ecology is a dynamic discipline that uniquely assembles and applies
knowledge from original research, the sciences, the arts, and the humanities with the goal of
enabling individuals and families to function as healthy units in society. Professionals in
human ecology are synthesizers and transmitters of knowledge concerning resource
management, human development/family, housing/interior design, clothing/textiles, and
foods/nutrition.
The Department of Human Ecology offers B.S. degrees in three areas. Upon completion of
requirements, graduates of these programs may pursue careers or enter graduate programs.
Fashion Merchandising. Graduates in fashion merchandising are qualified to enter
management training programs offered by many corporations leading to positions as buyers,
fashion coordinators, area managers, and visual merchandising personnel. The emphasis in the:
program is on retailing and entrepreneurial endeavors; however, students may also pursue:
work in the textile industry and design. Courses cover clothing production, promotion,
construction, and basic design. Coursework in the sociological/psychological aspects of
clothing is also included. Courses in business further strengthen this program.
Food Service Management. The hospitality area is one of the nation's largest industries with
broad opportunities for employment. Management positions are available with restaurants,
contract food service companies, private clubs and other institutions. Coursework includes
53
human nutrition, basic foods, quantity foods, institutional and equipment planning, as well as
menu and cost management. Supporting courses in business are included also.
General Human Ecology. The general human ecology program includes coursework in five
content areas: foods/nutrition, clothing/textiles, human development/family, consumer
economics/management, and interior design/housing. Human ecology electives and a senior
practicum allow students to concentrate in one of the content areas. Graduates are prepared to
work in industry, business, human services, and missions.
Teacher Certification. Teacher preparation and endorsement in Home Economics (Family
and Community Studies) are available through the Department of Human Ecology in
cooperation with the School of Education. Those wishing to pursue teaching-related programs
should seek information from the Department Chairman or the Dean of the School of
Education.

Pennock
The Division of Fine Arts offers instruction in drama, art, and music. Various specialized
programs for both majors and minors allow students to prepare for professional careers,
teaching careers, and various types of ministries.
The Department of Drama offers a Drama Major and a Drama Minor. The drama program
views the training of Christian theatre artists as an important and unique task of Liberty
University. Providing the student with a thorough background in drama, students will be
prepared to serve in schools, churches, and community programs. Exciting campus produc-
tions and extensive classroom training provide an opportunity for the development of a
student's skills in the area of drama as an expression of the Christian faith and as a vehicle for
education.
In the Department of Music and Art, an Art Minor is offered which develops creative skills
useful in studio art, illustration, and design.
The Sacred Music Major prepares students for the musical ministries and offers a
specialization in church music. A major in Musical Performance is available for ex-
traordinarily talented students who wish to concentrate on a particular mode of performance.
The B.A. in Music is designed for the student who wishes to develop his musical talent, but
plans to seek a career outside of the world of music.
In addition, the Department of Music and Art offers three specializations in its Music Minor
program. The Music Minor with Liberal Arts specialization is for students who wish to study
music as a listener's art. The Church Music specialization is for those who will pursue careers
outside of music, but wish to be involved in church music in some way, such as part-time music
ministers and volunteers in a church music program. The Performance specialization allows
the music minor to study voice or any of the orchestral instruments taught at Liberty.
Teacher Certification. Teacher preparation and endorsement in Music are available through
the Department of Music and Art in cooperation with the School of Education. Those wishing
to pursue teaching-related programs should seek information from the Department Chairman
or the Dean of the School of Education.

Social Sciences Minor
1. Content-The minor should be composed of related courses taken in at least two, but
not more than three, different areas or disciplines in the social sciences. A student may,
alternately, take courses in a single discipline for which there is no formal minor if he is
able to earn fifteen semester hours in that discipline. Six of the required fifteen hours
must be at the junior and senior (300-400) levels.
2. Procedures-Any student who wishes to develop a social sciences minor must first
secure in writing the approval of his advisor and the Department Chairman in the
discipline where a majority of the semester hours for the minor are being taken. A
Declaration of Social Sciences Minor form is the proper vehicle for completing this
process. It may be secured in the departmental office for history and psychology.
Once the form has been completed, a student may begin work on the minor. A copy of the
approved minor will be sent to the Registrar's Office to become part of the student's official
record. Any subsequent revision in the declared minor must follow the procedure outlined
above.
DEPARTMENT OF NURSING
Assistant Professor: L. Miller (Chairman)
Instructors:
Britt, Rahilly
Purpose. The purpose of the Department of Nursing is to prepare professional nurses to
function as generalists in providing health service to individuals, families, groups and com-
munities in a broad variety of health care settings and to provide an education which prepares
63
the graduate for leadership and advanced study in nursing.
Accreditation and Licensure. Liberty University is approved by the State Council of Higher
Education for Virginia and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
The Department of Nursing will be eligible to apply for National League for Nursing ac-
creditation after the first class graduates in 1991.
The Liberty University Department of Nursing is approved by the Virginia State Board of
Nursing.
Application to the Department of Nursing. The student will make formal application to the
Department of Nursing in the spring semester of the freshmen year. Applicants will be con-
sidered for the nursing major following enrollment in CHEM 106 and BIOL 212. Admission
will be based upon first semester GPA with an emphasis upon performance in mathematics and
science courses and a personal interview with a nursing faculty member.
Uniforms. Each student must secure uniforms, name pin, stethoscope, and liability in-
surance prior to the first clinical experience.
Physical Examination. A physical examination including a TB test and Rubella Titer is
required prior to the first clinical experience or before admission into the nursing program.
Advanced Placement For the Registered Nurse Student. A registered nurse student is a nurse
who has:
1. graduated from a recognized two- or three-year nursing program leading to an Associate
Degree or a Hospital Diploma;
2. three months of nursing practice as a registered nurse within the past 5 years or com-
pletion of a refresher course before the senior year;
3. current licensure to practice as a registered nurse in Virginia;
4. been admitted to Liberty University.
Registered nurse students are responsible for meals and transportation to and from clinical
settings.
In order to achieve advanced placement in the upper division nursing courses, the registered
nurse student may demonstrate his proficiency by passing a set of examinations determined by
the Nursing Faculty. Completion of the two-year upper division R.N. nursing track leads to a
Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
Application Procedure. Registered nurses apply to the Admissions Office indicating their
interest in earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. They follow the same procedure as
other transfer applicants to the University except that they also notify the Department of
Nursing of their intent.
Prior to the final 30 credits taken at Liberty, the student must apply to the Nursing Faculty
for acceptance into the Nursing major. The Nursing Faculty will screen each applicant on the
basis of program requirements. If deficiencies are evident, the nurse will be counseled ac-
cording to the student's goals and interests. The Nursing Faculty reserves the right to refuse
admission to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program.

COLLEGE OF GENERAL STUDIES
Dean:
Pauline M. Donaldson
The College of General Studies is designed to maximize student success, to enhance the
undergraduate experience, and to help the student achieve a greater breadth of learning and a
deeper understanding of human experience through the liberal arts. All applicants who meet
admission criteria are admitted to Liberty University through the College of General Studies.
During the first two years, students will take General Education courses as well as introductory
courses in the major. Once students have completed the basic skill courses of the General
Education, they may make formal application into the major as a candidate for a degree in that
college/school. The College staff manages orientation, academic testing and advising, General
Education, the Learning Assistance Center, the interdisciplinary Studies Degree program, the
General Studies Degree program, and the Liberty University Honors Program.
COLLEGE OF GENERAL STUDIES PROGRAM
Orientation. Prior to beginning the freshman year, new students are required to attend New
Student Orientation. These sessions are designed to give a quick overview of policies that
govern life at Liberty. During orientation students are introduced to the various services of the
University. Emphasis is placed on services which will assist students in adjustment to university
life; academically, socially, and spiritually.
Academic Testing and Advising. Through the cooperative effort of departments within
Liberty University, students receive personalized, individual counseling, and advising.
Students are assigned faculty advisors who, using placement tests administered during
orientation, work closely with students in scheduling courses and fulfilling requirements for
their interest area. In addition, upperclassmen in all colleges may seek out counseling in the
College of General Studies when their questions touch on university-wide issues or College of
General Studies Programs.
Students in the College of General Studies are encouraged at entry to follow the
requirements of degree programs as outlined elsewhere in this catalog. All students, regardless
of intended major are required to meet the General Education requirements. The following
Basic Skills component of the General Education requirements must be successfully completed
prior to application to the major: English 101; English 102; Math; Computer Science,
Language, or Speech 101; and Christian Growth 101 and 102.
Advanced Placement. Advanced placement and academic credit toward a degree will be
awarded to the student who receives a grade of three or higher on the advanced Placement
Examinations of the College Board. Credit is awarded only in those areas applicable to the
Liberty curriculum. The student must pay an administrative fee to have this credit added to his
Liberty transcript. Information about these examinations can be obtained from the College
Board Advanced Placement Examination, P.O. Box 977, Princeton, New Jersey 08540.
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP). College credit may be earned through both
the general examinations and the subject examinations of the College-Level Examination
Program. The five general examinations cover the areas of English composition with essay,
mathematics, natural science, social studies-history, and humanities. A student may receive
credit in each of the five areas for a total of twenty-seven semester hours. Each subject
examination is equal to three or six hours of credit, depending on whether the material is
designed to measure a one-course or two-course sequence. In the subject examinations, credit
is awarded only in those areas applicable to the University curriculum. The student must pay
an administrative fee to have this credit added to his Liberty transcript. Contact the College of
General Studies for minimum acceptable scores.
Proficiency Examination Program (PEP). This program may also be used to earn credits in
certain academic areas. For information write ACT PEP Coordinator, ACT Proficiency
Examination Program, P.O. Box 168, Iowa City, Iowa 52240. The student must pay an ad-
ministrative fee to have this credit added to his Liberty transcript.
Credit by Examination and/or Credit for Non-College Learning. To apply for credit by
examination, other than Advanced Placement, CLEP, or PEP, the student must submit his
66
request to challenge a course to the department of the University in which the course is offered.
Upon approval of the request, challenge examinations must be designed and must be approved
by every member of the department. The student's score must be accepted as passing by every
member of the department before credit will be awarded.
To apply for credit for certain specific life experiences, such as on-the-job training, non-
credit post-secondary programs, and other experiences that parallel academic study programs,
the student must present a portfolio to the Registrar's Office. When the completeness of the
portfolio has been established, the portfolio will be sent to the instructor of record and the
Dean of the School that offers the program. Upon approval of both, the hours will be added to
the student's transcript by the Registrar's Office. Forms are available in the Registrar's Office.
For credit by examination or credit by evaluation of non-college learning, an administrative
fee will be assessed. This fee is nonrefundable in the event of unsuccessful completion of the
test.
General Education. In 1988 the faculty of Liberty University adopted a General Education
program required of all baccalaureate degree students. The College of General Studies is
responsible for coordinating the various facets of this program. The goal is to ensure that all
undergraduate students receive breadth of learning as well as fulfilling the specific
requirements of their individual college/school and major fields of study.
Learning Assistance Center. The Learning Assistance Center provides a wide range of
programs to enhance the academic success of Liberty University students. Incoming freshmen
will find particularly helpful a one-credit-hour course, "Reading and Study Strategies." In
addition, free Skill Seminars are provided each fall for the entire student body. The course and
the seminars include such topics as Organization, Time Management, Reading Speed &
Comprehension, Test-taking, and Memory Improvement. For students encountering difficulty
in individual subjects, the Tutoring/Testing Center provides free peer tutoring.
Interdisciplinary Studies Program. Interdisciplinary Studies provides an option for the
exceptionally talented student who wishes to pursue a particular area of study not available
through the structured major and minor programs. The student with high motivation, an
exceptional background, or an unusual combination of talents and interests may find this
degree program useful in attaining his goals.
The requirements are as follows:
1. Fulfill institutional General Education Requirements.
2. Complete two concentrations of at least twenty (20) hours. One concentration must be
composed of courses from a single major area, while the second may combine related
oburses from different departments.
3. Complete twenty (20) to twenty-three (23) hours of directed electives.
4. At least thirty (30) hours must be taken at the 300/400 level.
Those interested in the Interdisciplinary Studies program should meet with the Director as
early as possible in the undergraduate program and prior to commencing the junior year. To
qualify for the program a student should have a minimum grade point average of 3.0. To gain
admission, the student must complete the application process. Proposed concentrations must
be approved by the respective departmental chairman. Final approval for admission to the
program is granted by the Director of the Interdisciplinary Studies Program.
The Interdisciplinary Proposal and Status Sheet are used to determine compliance for degree
requirements and may not be changed without the approval of the Director and the respective
department chairman.
General Studies Degree. The Bachelor of Science or the Bachelor of Arts in the General
Studies program is designed for those students who desire a degree offering the opportunity to
have breadth rather than preparation for a particular field of work. The stress of this major is
on distribution rather than concentration, enabling students to use both intercollege and in-
terdepartmental combinations of courses that will provide a broad pattern of education ex-
perience. For some students, the General Studies Major may provide a broad background for
later, more specialized, study or training.
Requirements for this degree are:
1. Fulfill institutional General Education Requirements.
2. Complete a forty-five (45) hour major which must be drawn from at least two but not
more than three academic disciplines with no more than thirty (30) hours and no less
than 15 from any one discipline. The courses may be in any field offered by the
University.
3. Complete 15-18 hours of electives in any discipline, including areas that are covered in
the major. Since the program crosses disciplines, six (6) of the twenty-seven (27) hours
67
must include two integrative courses.
4. At least thirty (30) hours must be taken at 300/400 level.
Students seeking admittance into the program are assigned an advisor who will assist the'
student in developing a course and program plan to meet the requirements of the degree. The
Major must be approved by the Department Chairmen of the disciplines involved. The General
Studies proposal is then submitted to the Dean of the College of General Studies. The course
and program plan, when accepted, becomes the student's contract for graduation and may be
modified only upon written request to the Dean of the College of General Studies.
The University Honors Program. The University Honors Program is designed to provide the
outstanding student with the opportunity to work with other honor students in specially
designed courses and to provide the highly motivated student with the opportunity to reach out
on his own to seize every opportunity to develop his highest personal and intellectual potential.
Once admitted to Liberty University, a qualified student may apply for admission to the
program. If admitted to the program, the student may begin taking honors courses his first
semester at Liberty.
Criteria for admission to The Honors Program are: (1) SAT scores of over 1200, or ACT
composite score of 29 or above; (2) GPA of 3.5; (3) ranking in the top 10% of high school
class; (4) outstanding achievement that can be documented by such performance and letters of
recommendation; (5) an essay of three to five typed pages on the topic: "What I hope to gain
from an education at Liberty University." Applications are reviewed by the Director of The
Honors Program and the Honors Council of the Faculty. Invitations to enter the program are
offered only by the Director.
The eligibility of a transfer or foreign student is determined on an individual basis. Such
students must enter The Honors Program by the beginning of the third year. Students who are
not admitted to The Honors Program upon initial enrollment at Liberty may petition to enter
the program at any time after the end of their first semester, but not later than the beginning of
their Junior year. This petition will be accepted and reviewed on the basis of a 3.5 GPA for all
work at Liberty and the recommendation of their advisor and, if a major has been declared, by
their department chairman.
A student must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.5 and continue in good standing with the
University to remain in The Honors Program. Information concerning scholarships in The
Honors Program may be obtained from the Director of The Honors Program.

Acting Dean:
H. Frank Forbus
The School of Business and Government is training the strong Christian leaders of tomorrow
in the worlds of business and government. America needs Christians in the command posts of
leadership in corporations, businesses small and large, and government at every level. Aiming
at more than technical competence, the School of Business and Government is producing men
and women with the vision and values needed to restore the spirit of free enterprise and
republican self-government, the twin pillars of a free society.

The School of Business and Government offers baccalaureate degrees in Accounting and
Economics, as well as the Business major with concentrations in Management Information
Systems, Marketing, Management, Economics, Finance, and Human Resources Management.
The School attempts to give each student the opportunity to prepare to become proficient in
management techniques and administrative skills that are important in the everyday functions
of business.
The School is proud of its available computer facilities where students have access to a broad
range of state-of-the-art equipment and ample business computer software. These facilities
serve students both in the management information systems concentration and all general
business majors.
Center for Business and Government. The purpose of the Center for Business and Govern-
ment is to broaden the impact of the School of Business and Government into the community,
the state and the nation. By the product and distribution of an economics newsletter, the ac-
tivities of the Center on behalf of the School are presented to a broad constituency. In ad-
dition, the Center will present conferences that will bring leading business professionals to the
campus and community. Funds raised by the Center will be used to upgrade the programs of
the School of Business and Government.
Business Internship Program. Integration of theory and practice is the purpose of the
Business Internship Program at Liberty. Hands-on learning, in addition to classroom learning,
gives the student a perspective that some may not have upon graduation. The internship ex-
perience provides a basis for the career decisions that the student must make, as well as gives
experience that will assist the student in securing his first job. Learning to make a living while
integrating theory and practicing Christian principles sets our student apart from most other
business graduates.
Juniors and Seniors who want to be considered for the internship program should contact
the Business Intern Director to discuss qualifications for and the availability of internships.

GOVERNMENT
Associate Professors: H. Caltagirone, Clauson (Chairman, Dept. of Government, Intern
Director, Pre-Law Advisor)
Assistant Professor: Witham
The School of Business and Government is a training ground for the Christian statesman
and governmental leaders of tomorrow. To that end, it offers undergraduate degrees in
Government, plus Administration of Justice, Pre-Law, Public Management, and Foreign
Affairs concentrations in Government.
The curriculum is designed to give students a strong foundation in the study of government,
politics, law, public economics, public administration and international affairs, undergirded
with a comprehensive Christian worldview. The curriculum is also action-oriented, as
described in the Internship program below.
In addition to the Government concentrations, a major in Criminal Justice/Administration
of Justice is offered. This program, unlike the Administration of Justice concentration in
Government, is open only to students or professional law enforcement officials who have
already completed an Associate degree or its equivalent. This unique program will train in-
dividuals for careers in law enforcement, criminology, corrections, juvenile justice, and other
criminal law-related fields.
Washington Internships. The centerpiece of the Government program is the Washington
internship. Students spend a semester in the nation's capitol, working in the executive branch,
Congress, or leading political organizations. Past placements have included the White House,
where four Liberty students served during 1983-1984. The internship program offers students
the opportunity to engage in political activism at the center of the federal government and the
advantage of gaining a practical experience which will aid in the job market after graduation.
Applications for the internship are welcome from all majors.

SCHOOL OF
COMMUNICATIONS
Dean:
William G. Gribbin
Assistant Dean:
Michael E. Travers
The School of Communications offers undergraduate majors in English, Journalism,
Modern Languages and Linguistics, Speech Communication and Telecommunications, areas
in which minors are also available. The School strives to produce Christian communicators
who will use their professional skills to complement their Christian witness.
Teacher Certification. Liberty University offers teacher training programs which are fully
approved by the State of Virginia Department of Education. Among the options available to
students through the School of Communications are courses of study leading to certification in
English and English As A Second Language.
At the time that this catalog went to press, all colleges in the State of Virginia were in the
process of revising teacher training programs in accordance with new requirements which were
mandated by the State. Although Liberty's programs have received preliminary approval, the
exact plan for all specific requirements has not been finalized.
In general, those who enter into the newly revised teacher training plan may expect to
complete an academic major, to be subject to the same general education requirements as all
other students, and to complete a set of academic and practicum experiences related to
professional teacher training. The revised programs have been planned so as to allow degree
completion within a four-year period.
Those desiring more specific information about the revised teacher certificate plan may
contact the chairman of the department in the specialty involved, or they may seek assistance
from the Dean of the School of Education.

SCHOOL OF
EDUCATION
SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Dean:
Robert H. Gaunt
The education of teachers is viewed as an important task of the University. Believing that
excellent teachers are an invaluable asset to the home, church, community and nation, the
teacher training program at Liberty is in a continual state of review in an effort to provide a
program of study and preservice experiences that will meet the needs of and stimulate an in-
terest in improvements in teaching practices in Christian day schools as well as public schools.
The program is designed for students who are preparing to teach preschool and elementary
children as well as high school youth. Those wishing to pursue careers in high school teaching
may do so in the following areas: biology, English, history, health, home economics, social
sciences, mathematics, music (vocal or instrumental), and physical education.
The School of Education also prepares undergraduate students for careers in non-teaching
health-related fields. There are currently programs offered in the areas of Community Health
and Recreation.
Only the abler and finer young men and women are recommended by the Teacher Education
Committee as prospective teachers. The Committee maintains that scholarship, character,
personality, and a personal commitment to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord are essential
ingredients in the development of a Christian teacher. The Teacher Education Committee,
therefore, screens applicants carefully. Students who are found lacking in any of the above
areas are counseled in an effort to remediate their deficiencies. If these counseling efforts are
unsuccessful, the Committee reserves the right to refuse admission of the student to the
Teacher Education Program.

Aims of Teacher Education:
The Teacher Education Program at Liberty seeks to provide for each of its students the
following:
1. A Christian-oriented education which will equip the student to serve God in a Christian day
school associated with a local church or in a public school.
2. A broad general education which will equip the student with knowledge, values, attitudes,
and ideas essential for the performance of responsibilities as an American citizen.
3. A thorough knowledge of the subject(s) to be taught at the high school level and a breadth
of preparation in subjects taught at the elementary level.
4. A professional preparation which is based upon an understanding of children and how they
learn, and that fosters the development of skills and methods of teaching content at the
elementary and secondary levels.
5. Learning experiences which encourage creativity, investigation, testing of new ideas, and
research.
Certification. The Teacher Education Program is designed to meet certification
requirements of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the student's approved specialization. The
University has approval from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia and is ac-
82
credited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The Teacher Education
Program has been officially approved by the State Department of Education. Graduates of
Liberty's approved teacher certification programs will be issued a certificate of eligibility for
certification within the Commonwealth of Virginia. Such certifications may either be used as
an initial two-year certification which is issued when employment is secured in Virginia, or it
may serve as proof to other State Departments of Education that an approved teacher
education program has been completed. Such a document will generally be found to be
necessary if the student intends to seek certification in another state.
Several states have additional certification requirements beyond what is specified for
graduation from an approved program at Liberty. As a rule, the additional requirements will
not result in the student's inability to gain certification and to begin teaching in another state.
Assistance in securing certification from other states, information about certification
requirements in states other than Virginia, and help in obtaining necessary applications for
out-of-state teaching credentials may be obtained from the Dean of the School of Education.
CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS
Liberty University's Teacher Education Programs are, at the time of catalog copy deadline,
in the process of being revised. The program changes are mandated by the Virginia State
Department of Education as part of a state-wide teacher education improvement program
which was recommended by the Governor's Commission on Excellence in Education. Liberty's
proposed revisions have already received tentative approval and indeed have been recom-
mended for their quality and completeness.
So far as the impact of the change upon present students and those who will be enrolled
during future years, there will not, in most cases, be significant changes. General education
requirements will be changed only slightly and professional experiences in the field of
education will be revised to feature greater amounts of actual contact with the school settings.
Those students who begin studies at Liberty as incoming freshmen as of the fall of 1989 and
thereafter will be subject to what is specified in the newly revised programs and status sheets.
Students who are currently enrolled or those who come as transfers with advanced standing
may exercise the option to remain with the status sheet which was in effect during the 1988-89
school year or they may elect to employ the newer status sheets which will be in effect for the
first time during the fall semester. Students in such circumstances are advised to consult with
their faculty advisor in order to determine which course of action will be most advantageous.
In the event that a student elects to continue with the older status sheet version, it shall be
necessary that he remain in continuous semester enrollment until the time of graduation and it
shall also be required that he complete all undergraduate studies and requirements prior to July
1, 1992.
Specific questions about the revised programs which apply in certification areas may be
addressed to the Director of either Elementary or Secondary Education. It is anticipated that
the newly revised status sheets will be printed and available on or about July 1, 1989.
Admission to the Teacher Education Program. A student planning to follow a teaching
program at Liberty must meet the requirements for admission to the Teacher Education
Program. The standards of admission to teacher education are inclusive of those for admission
to the University and include other criteria outlined by the School of Education as indicated
below. Policies governing the admission to the program originate in, or are channeled through,
the Teacher Education Committee. The Teacher Education Committee is elected by the
Faculty. Its function is to formulate policies and coordinate the Teacher Education Program.
The Committee will work for selective recruitment, admission, and retention of students for
and in teacher education. It must be clearly understood that admission to the University is not
synonymous with admission to the Teacher Education Program. Failure to follow this
procedure will generally result in the student's graduation and program completion being
delayed for a minimum of one semester.
Admission into Liberty's Teacher Education Program (TEP) usually takes place during the
student's sophomore year as part of the course requirements for EDUC 200, Professional
Orientation. Failure of transfer students to comply with this provision usually results in the
student's program completion being delayed for at least one semester. Though in no way a
guarantee of the candidate's future success in a classroom, meeting the standards listed below
demonstrates a seriousness of purpose and a degree of academic achievement that speaks well
of the aspiring teacher's potential. The initial entrance requirements into the Teacher
Education Program are:
83
A. a minimum, cumulative GPA of 2.35.
B. the successful completion of 45 semester hours of undergraduate study. (Transfer students
must complete a minimum of 15 of the 45 at Liberty in order to meet this standard.)
C. the Dean of Student Development's Office must certify that the student has exhibited
satisfactory citizenship and behavior while enrolled at Liberty. Students who have been
expelled or suspended are not eligible for initial entry into the TEP until fully reinstated to
good standing by the Dean of Student Development.
D. the division or department representing the student's teaching specialty must endorse his
candidacy for initial entry into the TEP. (Divisions or departments having teacher
education programs are 1 esponsible for developing and publishing the criteria they will use
in endorsing a student's candidacy.)
E. the completion of EDUC 200 (Professional Orientation) with a minimum grade of "C".
F. the demonstration of minimum competency in oral and written communication skills and
in computational skills as shown by earning a minimum 2.50 GPA in the following General
Education Courses:
ENGL 101 (Grammar and Composition)
ENGL 102 (Composition and Literature)
SPCH 101 (Speech Communication)
and in all of the required MATH courses in any particular teacher education program at the
100 and 200 level. Furthermore, no grade of "D" will be acceptable in these courses.
G. the completion of a written qualifying examination. This will be designed to assure that the
candidate has intelligently considered the responsibilities, obligations, and commitment
involved in a career in education. This examination will provide another check point in-
volving the student's written communication skills.
Equally important to the admission requirements into the TEP are those criteria which
govern the maintenance of the candidate's status once entry into the program is achieved.
These criteria are listed below:
A. a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.35 must be maintained. Students who fall below this
minimum will be dropped from the TEP.
B. satisfactory citizenship and behavior must be maintained. Students suspended or dismissed
from the University shall be dropped from the TEP.
C. any student, who has been dropped from the TEP is eligible to reapply in writing through
the Teacher Education Committee no sooner than during the semester following dismissal
from the program. A student may, however, be reinstated only once.
D. the student is subject to dismissal from the TEP anytime following his initial acceptence
until graduation, should any disqualifying difficulties arise.
The Teaching Performance Practicums (TPP). The TPP represents the student teaching
phase of the required certification program. Specifics of the TPP are being revised as part of
the teacher education program revision which has previously been discussed. Because of the
transition between the older programs and newly revised programs and because the newer
programs remain in the process of securing final approval, this catalog shall specify only
general information about the TPP process.
First, the student teacher experience will normally take place during the student's final
semester of study. It will involve the commitment of the entire semester for student teaching
and student teaching-related coursework. The number of hours involved will vary in ac-
cordance with the endorsement being sought.
Student teaching experiences are arranged to take place within Christian and public school
settings which are normally within comfortable driving distances from the campus. The
University seeks to locate student teachers in positive classroom settings which are headed by
well-qualified cooperating teachers.
It is the policy of Liberty University School of Education that student teaching experiences
shall be performed in above settings which are supervised directly by faculty members from the
University. For this reason, it is not possible to complete student teaching at another institution
and then transfer credit to Liberty for the purpose of meeting student teaching requirements. It
is also not possible to be issued credit for student teaching because one has had a period of non-
certified classroom employment. Further information about the student teaching experience
may be secured from the School of Education.
84
The student teaching experience should be approached with a great deal of respect for
the responsibilities involved and should be regarded as a very important experience for the
aspiring teacher. During the student teaching semester the student will assume an important
role in terms of responsibilities and obligations to the school and the students where the student
teaching is to take place. It is also imperative that student teachers plan to arrange personal
time schedules so as to allow proper attention to be given to student teaching and those ac-
tivities associated with outside preparation and school responsibilities.
For these reasons, the School of Education very strongly suggests that students should
not plan to have significant amounts of outside diversions during the student teaching ex-
perience. Examples of activities which have previously caused problems for student teachers
include working more than 10 hours per week, excessive social commitments, and extra
curricular diversions. In such circumstances the quality of performance inevitably suffers. For
these reasons, planning and prior arrangements to avoid such problems is expected.
Admission to the Teaching Performance Practicums. A student may enroll in the TPP if,
and only if, he has:
1. been admitted to the Teacher Education Program for at least one full semester before
enrolling in the TPP.
2. filed an application during the semester prior to the academic year in which student
teaching is desired. The Teacher Education Committee will approve or disapprove all
such applications based upon the following criteria in addition to those listed above:
a. current TB test.
b. evidence that the student is not on academic or social probation. (Behavior that
relates to the moral, social, ethical and personal standards of professional com-
petency of the student will be subject to periodic review and appraisal.)
3. a minimum, cumulative GPA of 2.50.
4. completed all professional course work as well as all courses in the student's major area
of study. Grades below a "C" are not acceptable in 200, 300 and 400 level courses in
these two areas.
It is the student's responsibility to secure forms and materials necessary to apply for the TPP
experience. Such materials are obtained from the Teacher Education secretary and must be
returned prior to established deadlines. The application deadline for placement in student
teaching for the following semesters are: October 1 for placement in the spring semester;
February 15 for placement in the fall semester.
The Student Teaching Practicum. Student Teaching is required in all curricula for the B.S. in
Education. Student Teaching must be completely by a student at the grade level(s) and in the
endorsement area(s) in which he expects to be certified. Presently, full-time student teaching
experiences are provided in the Christian and public schools in the local area. All such ex-
periences are cooperatively administered by University and school personnel.
National Teacher Examination (N.T.E.) Information regarding minimum score
qualificatons for N.T.E. may be obtained from the School of Education office. In addition,
the secreatry has available the forms and materials which are necessary in order to register for
the N.T.E.
Tests are administered three times per year. Liberty is one of several dozen institutions which
serve as an N.T.E. test site. It is not, however, necessary that N.T.E. testing be completed at
this institution. If a student finds it more convenient to complete the N.T.E. test at another
location, such arrangements may easily be made. Liberty provides workshops during both
semesters of the school year for those who are planning to take the N.T.E.
Virginia Beginning Teacher Assistance Program (BTAP) All first time teaching certificates
issued to persons who will teach in the State of Virginia shall be for a two-year initial period.
During that two-year period, new Virginia teachers will be evaluated by a visiting state
evaluator in terms of ability to effectively perform certain required classroom competencies.
The primary objective of the program will be to assist new teachers when skill remediation is
needed, and also to improve the quality of instruction in Virginia schools. When competency
requirements have properly been satisfied, the student then is eligible to receive the five-year
collegiate professional certification. Information about the specific competencies involved and
procedures for evaluation of beginning teachers is available in a State Department brochure. It
may be reviewed in the School of Education Office.
During undergraduate preparation, students who are training to be teachers will be given
familiarization exercises and instruction so far as the BTAP is concerned. The competencies
involved will be taught and demonstrated throughout the teacher training process. Student
85
teaching performance is judged largely upon basis of successful demonstration of BTAP
concepts. Specific course requirements are listed within the appropriate areas and they may be
found in those respective parts of this catalog.
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR
SECONDARY SUBJECT MAJORS
The specific general education course set-up for those training to be high school teachers
will depend upon the particular status sheet involved. As has been mentioned elsewhere, the
University finds itself in the process of making a transition between older and existing teacher
education programs and those which are projected to begin in the Fall of 1989.
Whichever status sheet is utilized will feature a broad-based and balanced set of experiences
aimed at providing a sound academic basis for high level study. Included will be coursework in
the communications, art, science, mathematics, history and social sciences, along with
required physical education and foundational Bible and theology courses. Students who
commence initial studies in the Fall of 1989 or after will be subject to the provisions of the
newer status sheets which will then be available.
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND RECREATION
Professor:
Horton (Chairman)
Associate Professors: Colligon, Gibson, Tolsma, Yarbrough (Director, Intramurals)
Assistant Professors: B. Bonheim, R. Bonheim, J. Caltagirone, Farver, Greenhalgh, Hopkins
Instructors:
Carroll, Comfort, Goad, Kelly
The Department of Physical Education and Recreation is committed to several objectives:
the development of a strong and healthy body through physical activity and good health
habits; the promotion of physical fitness and healthful living; encouraging the adoption of
recreational and leisure oriented activities by individuals; and to provide a curriculum through
which a student may qualify for certification to teach, coach, or work in several fields of
physical education and recreation. Members of the physical education and recreation in-
structional staff endeavor to incorporate scriptural teachings and principles in all activity and
professional courses offered within the Department.
Majors in physical education and recreation are offered. Minors are offered in coaching,
physical education, athletic training, church recreation, recreation administration, and out-
door recreation.
Exemptions and Program Modifications. The Department encourages all students to
complete physical education requirements. In cases where some type of disability prohibits full
participation, modification of program requirements may be arranged. When participation is
rendered impossible due to the presence of severe disability, a provision may be granted which
will allow the student to substitute other hours in place of physical education requirements.
The policy of the department is to evaluate each case individually and to prescribe the program
which best meets the needs of the individual who is operating with a handicap. All requests for
program modification or exemption must be supported by medical evidence. Those who seek
such provision must make arrangements with the Department Chairman during their first
semester in residence. The physical education program requirement will not be waived due to

SCHOOL OF ?
RELIGION
SCHOOL OF RELIGION

Associate Dean:
James D. Stevens
Program. Liberty's goal is to train champions for Christ. In achievement of this goal, five
major areas of study are offered by the School of Religion: Biblical Studies, Philosophy,
Pastoral Ministries, Cross-Cultural Ministries, and Church Ministries. Beyond this, religion
majors may minor in one of the minors within this School or any other minor in the University.
Minors offered by the School of Religion include: Youth Ministries, Cross-Cultural Ministries,
Biblical Studies, Theological Studies, Philosophy, Educational Ministries, Counseling,
Biblical Languages and Urban Ministry.
Students who feel called of God to pastor a church and who are Scripturally qualified major
in Pastoral Ministries. Students who wish to serve the Lord in a cross-cultural situation major
in Cross-Cultural Ministries. Within this mission program there are two tracks: the church
planters track for those who will plant and pastor in a cross-cultural setting and the support
track for those who will labor in conjunction with the missionary pastor/church planter.
Students interested in local church ministry but who do not want to serve as senior pastors
major in Church Ministries. These students normally will minister in Sunday Schools, day care
centers, para-church organizations or a wide variety of other supportive ministries.
Philosophy. At Liberty we believe and teach the multiple approach to ministry. It is our
philosophy that when a man receives the call of God to pastor a church he may be called to a
specific ministry. A youth pastor, for example, holds the same high calling as the senior pastor
and is, in fact, an extension of the senior pastor's ministry to youth. Thus, a man called of God
as a youth pastor would major in Pastoral Ministries with a concentration in Youth Ministries.
Pre-seminary students normally are encouraged to major in Biblical Languages, Biblical
Studies, English, History, Philosophy, or Psychology.
Action-Orientation. The School of Religion provides its undergraduate majors with extra-
curricular opportunities for learning and developing leadership skills in ministry. Pastoral
Ministries majors enter the FTP (Foundation Training Program) their freshman year and
continue on through the ACTS and BUILDERS leadership programs. Cross-Cultural
Ministries majors are exposed to fields of cross-cultural ministry through the Student Mission
Ministries program. Similar programs are being developed for the Church Ministries majors.
