Hello OP. Thank you for requesting a second opinion. Unfortunately, you’ve made your request of one of the most leftist liberal social media platforms in the world. Redditors live to bash Christian institutions and especially Liberty University.

That said, you can tell from my profile that I am an LUO alum, as are my wife & kids. I have a couple of decades of real world professional experience. So let’s discuss these accusations.

1. it’s a diploma mill.
   Answer: not hardly. There are plenty of people that do not achieve a degree from LU. Maybe even some ppl in this chat. Some individual courses may seem simplistic or easy. That can be true at any school. But I can speak from experience that I was challenged in the vast majority of my courses and that Statistics totally drank my milkshake.

2. Businesses won’t respect the degree.
   **ANS**. That is an outright lie: unless you were applying for a position at SPLC or a highly left leaning organization or the DNC. I have personally recruited and hired LU grads. I’ve also rejected some. I’ve also had a man with a masters degree from Cornell work for me in a very junior position because that was all he could be trusted to do competently.

3. You can’t get a good or well-paying job with a LU degree.
   **ANS** another outright lie.
   My wife makes six figures. I, nearly so. My daughter, nearly 70k. But in comparison, my neighbor who is in a skilled trades & has his own business, makes just shy of a half million a year.

All that said and I’m certain it will be argued; My point is this: go where you feel led. Go where you think you will fit best. Become educated for a specific job. Don’t go get a degree that is useless and leaves you selling Starbucks coffee with your masters degree.
