I'm an LUO student, and I love it. I work better in an online environment and will be graduating with my bachelor's in August. I have had a really great experience. :)
@@joytimmonsplease explain! I’m getting mixed reviews about this place.
are the exams proctored? if so, do I need to pay for every proctored exam?
@@yurimisha they are not
Is it a work-at-your-own-pace university?
me too please explain your mix reviews. are they pushing religion online or is that just a campus thing
@@chelseabcox
Love your videos, Clifford your truly helping people save money out here.
After a horrific experience at a brick-and-mortar master's program that relied on its historic and elitist reputation, instead of actually teaching its students, I went to Liberty and got my first master's online and now I'm working on my MBA. Absolutely had no problems getting the classes I wanted and the professors are awesome. At the end of the day, no one cares where you got your degree, as long as it's accredited and you have the experience to back it up. No way will I ever step foot on a college campus ever again and Liberty University has helped me achieve my goals with affordable master's programs that are military-friendly.
This was awesome to read. 👏🏼 Way to be brave enough to forge a new path when the original one stopped serving your goals! 💪🏼
Actually, from what I heard, doing a graduate-level program virtually has bad experiences, in terms of actually learning the applicable knowledge for your job that you are hunting for
I am searching for college for grad and this is exactly what I need. Thank you!
For any students that live in the state, LUO accepts the Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant. They will also match up to about two thousand dollars of the grant amount for each academic year
This is perfect thank you so much! Thanks to your channel, I feel like I have narrowed down my school selection and liberty university seems like the best choice thanks to this channel!
Glad we could help!
Thanks, I am a veteran looking to get a Masters and I had some doubts about LU but it was a good review.
Glad I could help. They are a good school and one of the best religious online graduate programs in the world.
Thanks to you Clifford I found the motivation to go back to school while supporting my family and kids and working a full time job, something I thought was never going to be possible. I'm currently enrolled in UMPI for my BLS and I have 90 credits hacked. Thank you for these videos!
Wow! You're a rockstar! Please email me and tell me more about how you did it!
Pls tell us how you could hack 90credits at UMPI while their gen eds only 30 credits or so
How are your classes going?
@@amarie6223I completed my degree in August and had it conferred in September!
MA linguistics (theoretical, not applied) is exceptionally rare to find online. I'd say Liberty is the only university in the USA that offers it fully via distance.
Thank you sir for your videos, as an international student who wants to study online from US competency based, i got a lot of great info from your channel. I cant help but experience a sense of fulfillment to take serious of my goals for my future while studying as a highschool student. Just want to ask if you have a video talking about fort hays state university?
Thanks for your point of view. LU is hated in the military, at least in the Army subreddit. I plan to get my M.Div. there. Half online, half residential. It’s very military friendly.
Idk what they are talking about. I’m an army veteran and I have no issues with Liberty. It’s non-profit and regionally accredited. A good job and/or Grad school will be no issue.
I am also 11B Army vet, my experience at Liberty University has been outstanding! I have one semester left for my masters degree. To be honest with you, my experience is better at Liberty then AMU
Great motivation and big thank you Clifford. Please could you tell me how is the grading process for Credit Transfer goes in UMPI and other hackable colleges to you have covered? I'd learned University of the People grades all hackable credits transferred as TC which according to me doesn't look presentable on transcript.
Awesome review!! I was thinking of going into their MA program for Mental Health Counseling and I was trying to figure out if it was a good fit or not. Thank you!!
i’m considering it- did you apply?
Hi! I actually didn’t end up applying. I ended up applying to and going to the University of South Carolina’s counseling program.
You might want to look into that it’s also online 😀
@@Cat-ol8uz oh thank you for responding! May I ask why you decided to go there instead? and did you like it?
This is my 20th year in the military and I've focused so much on military service that I've postponed my degree almost the entire time. I'm hoping to enroll in this college and change that. Thank you!
How's it going?
@@CollegeHacked I am still looking through so many of your videos because I really have to pick the best one for me because I'm deploying soon and the school I pick will really matter. WGU, SNHU, LU seem like the ones to narrow down. Really appreciate your informative videos.
@@ajhourniforever Hey, a little bit of self-promotion, but in a single consultation, we can help you pick the perfect college, and we've done it for tons of people already, so we know our stuff. ;) www.collegehacked.com if you're interested! There's nothing like getting started!
@@CollegeHacked ok I will indeed check it out!
I appreciate the amount of detail you put in each of your videos. Could you please do a Northcentral University Review? I would greatly appreciate it!
Too kind of you! Will add it to my list of video ideas!
I'm in the PhD program in history (online) and it has been a good experience so far. Not all professors grade things within five days.
I think the grading policy is within 6-7 days of submission. If you’re passing 7 days definitely escalate to a dean. Grading timeline adherence shows up on institutional dashboards though (the instructor bosses can see if they aren’t grading on time), so that really shouldn’t be happening! Glad it’s been a good experience :)
LUO is a great school. Really learned alot. Many of my peers are surprised I've learned so much from LUO.
We find this to be true also! Lots of assumptions based on very little direct data 😉 Glad you enjoyed it.
Wondering if you know if Colorado Christian University takes transfer credit from Sophia?
Your videos are very helpful.
When I attended Liberty U Online, I found it to be good. However, one particular year attending it seemed they outsourced professors from other states and these professors just didn't have the professionalism, organization, quick response, flexibility, training to be a Liberty professor, positive/encouragement vibe, nor Christian values as professors located actually at Liberty. So that was a disappointment. I just made sure next semester I chose professors physically located at Liberty. I enjoyed the online professors much more that were located on campus. They were great and yes seem to be at a higher standard. This was years ago, so maybe it has changed.
Tip: Just try to schedule online courses with professors at the actually campus if you can. A better college experience in my opinion.
Great advice!
I have three degrees from Liberty University. I had some good experiences, and some could have been better. While in The BS., in Interdisciplinary Studies, Mr. Stumme was one of my instructors.
That’s so awesome 🤩 Hopefully you didn’t hate the class 😉
I have a bachelors degree from Liberty and in May I’ll have a masters degree from there, great school.
We agree 😍😍
I am a Doctorate of Health Sciences student. I just wish there were more scholarship options who are not affiliated with the military or for those who live in Virginia. After all the fees I pay about $645 per credit hour.
you are better off going to a real university. liberty and school like snhu and phoenix exist solely to suck up va and education benefits, then charge you what it costs to deliver their product. you are getting the equivalent of a baccalaureate probably paying 645 lol when it really should only cost 300 but they jack it up knowing they will get many VA and federal handouts to just give people paper for logging in to a class from afghanistan lmao clowns.
i agree! i'm a liberty university mph student. they do not offer many opportunities as other colleges.
Does the doctorate degree have dissertation?
no@@imaadshukur9200
Hi I'm loving your channel so far, I'm highly interesting in CBE, but I am looking for that interactive/feedback aspect in my online learning. I watched a video where you did a breakdown of UMPI and their system seems to have hit that sweet spot, with the drafted responses.
I was wondering if you can point me in the direction of a video you've done that highlights other CBE online degrees who also value that feedback, or creat a video listing some schools.
Thank you for all the information you're giving. I'm active duty military and I just want to choose the right online school for me! Your channel is giving me the peek behind the curtain that I'm looking for.
(I'm looking for the somewhat niche degree of faculty planning/management LoL you seem like you enjoy a challenge so I'll just leave that info right here🤷🏾♀️😊)
Thanks for the suggestion/request! I will consider this. Thanks! Honestly, I'd just wait until my "5 Best Colleges for Busy Adults" 2023 edition comes out. Should be within the next month. For now, I'll give a spoiler and say that WGU, PGU, and UMPI seem to be the most worthwhile ones.
@@CollegeHacked Thanks so much for the extra information. I appreciate it 😊
The University also offers a discount for First Responders. Me being prior military and currently a firefighter my tuition per credit hour is $188 or $564 per class online.
LOVE how they stack the discounts! 🇺🇸
I completed my undergrad at LUO, and I have had no issues. I would do it again. They also have a first responder discount which I qualified for.
Hey, I'm a first responder as well. I just transferred there. How many credits did you get for your certifications?
@@birdaye007 I completed a Paramedic program at a community college. I want to say that 58 of my credits out of 60 were transferred.
@@birdaye007 60 w/Paramedic license
What are your thoughts on their master's degrees? How "hackable" is it, if at all? Any idea what the course workload is like for a busy professional/mom of three? I'm considering their Sports Management and Athletics.
What does “hackable” mean?
@@MarKOPoLO2321It means to quickly complete your degree.
I’m about to get out of the military and was wondering if you ever had any experiences with the university and or the sports management department
Liberty told me I can skip my GEC because I had a PMP... Almost took it.
Can you do a review on University of Maryland Global Campus for cyber security?
How is the accreditation? Is it nationally recognized throughout the US so when you have to apply for jobs employers will accept your degree?
Yes! Liberty has regional accreditation, as well as tons of other programs specific accreditations. They also have a medical school and a law school, so they are a great brand name.
I’m a LUO Student I’m starting my classes in may 15 2023 for Aviation and I’m gonna see how it goes
Nice! Good luck!
I’m thinking about enrolling for aviation. How has your experience been so far?
Great Information!
I was wondering,
are there any nationallv accredited colleges,
that are pretty easy to earn a BA?
Not that we would direct you toward :) Go for regionally accredited!
How do electives work for graduate degrees? Is it like having to take them again? Is there a place specifically where we can take general electives that can be transferred to Liberty U? Or if we have a Masters, are those credits transferred?
Graduate degrees don’t have free electives :) A bachelors degree requires 40 classes, a masters is generally around 12-15. Nothing from a bachelors can be used towards a masters, unless it’s a very very special situation.
Active military here doing my master's program online. LU is extremely cheap for what you get out of it. Even for an MA, it's $275/ credit hour, which translates to only $75 that i have to pay out of pocket per class after tuition assistance from the military. Additionally, LU waives the technology fees for military, so a computer program like ArcPro which would normally cost $800 for a GIS class gets waived entirely. LU is affordable for everyone, but is stupidly affordable if you're military.
Cheap and regionally accredited. At the end of the day, nothing else matters.
** they stopped waiving technology fees for military, in fall 2023 they started charging the $299 tech fee per semester. That was a deal breaker for me since it was 75 per class and that tech fee, plus textbooks, so I ended up choosing Upper Iowa University.
@@rafaelantonio7128 Are you sure? I just took a class and my tech fee was waived...
Excellent!! So glad you’ve been having a good experience at LU, they are close to our hearts here at College Hacked 😊 I believe the tech fee is waived for active duty service members still, no longer waived for veterans.
@@CollegeHacked Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
Hello Clifford! Does your degree from LUO show the name Liberty University Online or just Liberty University?
Just Liberty University last time I checked.
Is there any way you can do a video on the best hackable schools for a masters and PhD?
Oh, I wish, but those degrees just don't really lend themselves to hacking. LUO does have the best options I've seen though.
@@CollegeHacked What is LUO?
@@dreamsofkaia7275 Liberty University. :)
@@dreamsofkaia7275 My bad. Liberty University Online. :)
I'm looking into Liberty U. for a MA degree and your video is extremely informative/helpful, thank you 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Does LU online have proctored tests? How do the assignments work? Are books included and are they
physical or online books?
No proctoring, assignments are a variety of typical college assignments like papers and projects, as well as quizzes and exams. Books are included digitally.
I was wondering if you knew much about the online MA in Human-Centered Design? I’m in Cyber Security, but wanting to make a switch to UX Research. Just haven’t found many discussions about it on Reddit or other College Forums.
Only that it exists and has 10 classes 😄 But the course descriptions might help: catalog.liberty.edu/course-search/
So being a military member who is getting out in 60 days would it be in my best interests to take classes at Sophia and go to LUO for Sports Management I would transfer over those credits from Sophia to LUO for my Bachelor’s?
Please explain if I am just miles off on this lol
No, you got it right! 😄 If you Google Liberty University Sophia.org, there’s a PDF chart of equivalencies Liberty keeps on their website (which Sophia classes to take) you can use to plan 💪🏼
Im thinking if getting a certificate degree on business administration...im just not sure if it is worth...it i dont want to pay over $20,000
Do you mean a bachelors degree, or a certificate? They offer both :)
Has anybody taken the B.s. for civl engineering thinking about enrolling ?
I’m planning use an LUO degree to go to law school. Do you think the online part of it would positively negatively or impact that goal in any way?
Thankfully law school applications are about much more than just your degree :) You need a good LSAT, a good admissions essay, and awesome extracurriculars. With a well-rounded application, an online degree won’t disqualify you from law schools.
Any details on their Doctorate in Psychology at LU?
I am considering them for my doctorate in Psych too!!
Not really. Seems like a fine degree.
Does Sophia and Saylor work for a master degree as well? TIA
Sorry, no. Only undergrad.
In terms of cost from Liberty University Online and the degrees offered, you'd probably be far better off at a local junior college or a technical college, doing coursework on-site, at a slightly cheaper cost for in-state students
All depends on priorities! :)
I love Liberty University, and I have one semester left for my Master's in Criminal Justice: Cyber Crime Investigations
Congrats!! 🥳🥳
I am considering getting my Master's Degree in Cyber Security here at LUO, but I am not 100% sure yet due to my busy schedule.
It’s a good school!
I was wondering if you can make a video about your PhD experience at Liberty University. There are only few videos on RUclips covering their PhD experience at Liberty University.
Not a bad idea. Thanks!
My experience was great.
Could you make video on libertys doctorate program- doctor of business administration
We focus our content mainly on undergrad hacking, but we do single sessions to walk through graduate and terminal degree programs :)
Does anyone have any experience with their Education Specialist and Ed.D. programs?
Dr. Lauren Daly on our team has her Ed.S from LUO and started out in their EdD before switching to the PhD 😄
thoughts on the MA clinical mental health counseling program?
Great! They have done a good job with the logistics of the required campus time, specifically. Every school must require it for licensure, but every school handles it differently. In general though, if the goal is LPC, just about any school will work since it’s a regulated licensure program :) No real shortening of the requirements possible.
I was surprised to discover LU offers Bachelors in Civil Engineering.......the problem, is it doesn't say if the program is accredited by ABET.
It is, but it’s only residential 👎🏼
Do they proctor exams? I’m horrible with tests.
I have taken many courses with Liberty Online and never had to take a proctored exam. I only had to take proctored exams when I took on-campus classes and could not get to the campus because I was moving, but that was at a different school. Most online programs seem to be getting away from proctored exams, but I might be mistaken. On the other hand, be mindful of assignment deadlines. Liberty and many other institutions say students can work at their own pace, which is true, provided you turn your assignments in on time. Some professors will dock you for being a couple hours late, while others will not. It all depends on the professor. All things considered, Liberty Online has been awesome. I will give Liberty a GPA of 3.8.
Nope!
Can i take master from reputated college by going open University for undergraduate?
Does “open university” mean online university? If so, yes :)
LUO is much better and cheaper than going in person ! It’s not all it’s cracked up to be …
How many months I should consult with your team before intake?
The earlier the better!
What’s your thoughts about CSU Global?
Spoiler alert: I'm updating my "5 Best Colleges for Busy Adults" for 2023, and CSU Global might make the list. :) Coming soon!
What is your opinion on people claiming that a Liberty Degree is not respected by employers?
Very rare that anyone is going to mind where your degree is from, as long as it is regionally accredited (which LU is). And if they do, that’s probably not a place worth working anyway. Lauren Daly, our Chief Academic Advisor at College Hacked, was accepted to two medical schools with a Liberty degree, and plenty of other people have had great success graduating from there too!
I currently working on my Ph.D. In History at Liberty University.
How you liking it? I’m debating on doing the same program
@@pangwongdao8295 It been great I currently working on my dissertation in the program. I All but Dissertation about right now (ABD)
How do you get a job from LUO once you get the degree
Live in Lynchburg and be willing to work in a call center. Works every time.
Do you help with the Doctorate degrees at Liberty?
There is portfolio credit at the terminal degree level, but nothing like Sophia or Study. We help clients choose a graduate school and map out which classes to submit portfolio credit for, but we don’t assist in writing the components of the submission.
Is liberty competency based like wgu. Can you finish an assignment in a day like wgu?
Unfortunately no. Their classes run for 8 weeks. We hope they’ll come up with some CBE in the future though!
is LUO good for active duty military overseas?
Excellent! They are one of the single most military friendly schools we know of. They are a Purple Heart University and everything :)
If Liberty courses are asynchronous and their exams unproctored, why does noone talk about completing their degree in one semester?
Sophia students get a discount which stacks with first responder or military.
Asynchronous isn’t the same as competency based education (CBE) :) Liberty has 8-week classes, where even if you finish all the work for the whole course on day 1, you still have to wait for the 8 weeks to pass to get a final grade and move on to the next class. The most hackable schools are CBE programs, where when you finish the work for the class, even if it’s in one day, you move on to the next class. Liberty is an excellent school, it just doesn’t offer CBE programs yet so taking more than 4 classes in a single term of 8 weeks requires an appeal process that is not always granted.
@@CollegeHacked thank you for the explanation.
Are they proctored exam at LUO ?
Nope!
Would you suggest liberty university for an MBA.
Absolutely! Great program, and hackable.
so online were just watching a video and teaching ourselves ? im trying to go for engineering and im worried
Most worthwhile Engineering programs are ABET accredited, and that makes them rare to find online, and usually they are not very hackable even if you do find one 😅
Can someone let me know if they have proctored exams?
no, the exams are not proctored
what is a "hackable college?' why do you mean when you say "if you hack your degree" you pay less?
Third party websites, like Sophia.org and Study.com, in addition to CLEP exams, are ways to transfer college credit into certain schools who accept them and graduate faster and cheaper! 😄
Can you get into PA school with an online degree?
Yep!
But you might need a few residential classes particularly with your labs.
expensive as compared with SNHU
Is it possible to hack the civil engineering degree in liberty?
That’s a residential only degree, but you can hack some of it, yes. :)
are the classes self paced?
They are not, Liberty classes are 8 weeks long
If you think LU has too much Biblical integration, don't apply to a Christian college. Also, as a current student, the professors have been very flexible when I have difficult circumstances.
Can you do regent university MBA program
There are better schools!
Will the degree have online on it or just Liberty university?
It says Liberty University, no online :)
How much is your consultation fee?
Prices sometimes raise due to ever-increasing demand, but you can check what we're currently charging here: www.collegehacked.com.
Not much hacking public policy🤔
What about their Doctoral Degrees?
They are also “hackable” via Liberty’s Experience Plus option 🥳
False! C for cost bro be honest please, and an A+ for cost if your Military be honest don’t combine the two costs to get to a B for costs when not everyone is going to get that A+ cost discount, military in the us is less than 1% of the population and shrinking at that!
I hear what you're saying. It's a simple system. I'd say probably actually a B- or C+ for cost actually.
Can you please talk about Christian Leaders Institute/College?
You want to know about the leaders who run Christian schools, or?
Are rn on to bsn online programs hackable too
Yes! Check out WGU :)
