Liberty University is a private Christian university located in Lynchburg, Virginia. Founded in 1971 by Jerry Falwell Sr., it operates as a nonprofit institution and is one of the largest evangelical universities in the world. Unlike public universities, which receive government funding, Liberty relies on tuition, donations, and private support.
The university offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs, both online and on-campus. As a private institution, it has the autonomy to integrate faith-based values into its curriculum, which distinguishes it from public universities that must adhere to state educational guidelines.
