We also facilitate the faculty-run Graduate Senate and Graduate Administrative Council.

Not only will you grow both academically and professionally, but the Graduate Student Assistantship (GSA) also provides a scholarship to pay for school and a stipend as compensation for your hard work. The Graduate Senate conducts graduate studies' regular faculty business, academic standards, curriculum, and program requirements. It consists of faculty representatives from each graduate program and administrative staff from The Graduate School. The Graduate Senate meets regularly and is coordinated by an executive committee. The Graduate Administrative Council (GAC) oversees, plans, and coordinates all graduate programs at Liberty University. The GAC is comprised of all graduate program directors and graduate-related administrators and is chaired by the vice provost for graduate education & the dean of The Graduate School.
Through those founding years, students and faculty were inspired to influence America's moral and ethical course. Subsequently, the school's name officially changed to Liberty Baptist College in 1976, and the colors were changed to red, white, and blue. The college achieved full accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges in 1980.
By 1985, the school had become recognized as a fully¬ accredited university, adding programs and garnering recognition from both mainstream culture and the world of academia. Liberty also pioneered a distance learning program that year, launching what is now known as Liberty University Online.
With the founder's passing in 2007, his son, Jerry Falwell Jr., became chancellor and president of the University. At the 2007 Commencement ceremony, just days after his father's passing, the now President Falwell proclaimed, "We have prepared for this transition for 15 years or more. All is well at Liberty." Liberty's journey has been one of facing giants, making the impossible possible, watching fervent prayer move mountains and Training Champions for Christ.
Standing on the shoulders of more than two millennia of Christian scholarship, Liberty University emphasizes the pursuit of knowledge in every discipline. A world-class liberal arts university with 17 schools and colleges, Liberty offers more than 550 programs from the certificate to the doctoral level ranging from medicine, biology, chemistry, and engineering to design, music, religion, law, and more.
Founded in 1971 in Lynchburg, Va., Liberty has grown from a small college of 154 students into a university with a residential student body of over 15,000. Preparing students to be doctors, educators, ministers, lawyers, aviators, counselors, engineers, and more, Liberty is committed to developing tomorrow's leaders — men and women of a character whose impact will extend beyond their professions to change the world around them.
