Salary and Debt by Major at Liberty University
We calculated a Salary Score for each of Liberty University's programs by comparing program-specific median alumni earnings to median alumni earnings for the same program across all schools that provide this data. This way, students can compare the relative salary strength of a specific major at Liberty University to the same major at other schools. A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program. Data is sourced from the December 2020 release of the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard and reflects median alumni debt upon graduation and median alumni earnings in the year after graduation for students who received federal financial aid. Debt and salary numbers are shown rounded to the nearest $10.

I am in the mental health field. This program was said to be general with some theological influence, however, they are strictly only imposing Christian principles. This program should be renamed Christian counseling or Pastoral counseling. They are not open-minded and very strict, even in assignments.
The absolute worst customer service skills ever!!!! They all need to be fired. I tried to get information from a few of them the call would hang up, no return calls and their lack of knowledge is beyond me, They do not help you, they will leave you hanging that’s for sure
