When searching for a new school to transfer to, I found Liberty's online Programs…Liberty's very friendly and helpful counselors made the process completely easy and painless--I was even able to transfer in ALL of my credits, which is a big plus. The classes at Liberty are so much better (than my former school).. The format is so easy to use and the classes are not only challenging, but fun and enlightening as well. The professors could not be better.
