Founded in 1971 by Rev. Jerry Falwell, Liberty University, while a young university, has grown tremendously in its short existence into the largest private university in the nation. As a SACS-accredited institution, Liberty ensures that it meets all standards accreditation entails, while also maintaining its evangelical commitment to conservative Christian values. Liberty is located in Lynchburg, VA.
Liberty Online is an acclaimed distance-learning program, the third largest with an astonishing number of accredited degrees. Liberty Online offers CCNE-accredited bachelor- and master-level nursing program: an RN to BSN program for registered nurses, which most complete in two year; and an MSN that does not require an RN, with the option of a Nurse Educator track as well. None of Liberty’s online nursing programs require a residency period.
