"The staff (at Liberty) have been wonderful to work with... At
the age of 40+ I felt the desire to change careers and become a
teacher… I discovered that Liberty University had both a
distance learning program with initial certification and a
program in special education. The flexibility in format, the
hours that would have been spent traveling were instead spent at
home with my son, while at the same time I was completing my
degree. The staff have been wonderful to work with and I sing
their praises to everyone I meet. Thank the Lord for Liberty
University!"
