    How Bible focused is Liberty University? Looking at taking MBA courses there on line. But worried I will have to quote bible verses in my papers? Is it christian or Christian?

    I am of the faith but not of the evangelical leaning.

    I am currently in my first semester of the MAML program.

    You will have to incorporate Christian points of view and biblical quotes into your coursework.

    I am honestly not a super-religious person. The biblical points of view are not that difficult to incorporate, and I have greatly enjoyed looking at management topics through a Christian point-of-view.

    Feel free to PM me with any questions you might have.

    Christian. Depending on the program, you will be frustrated by the level of integration of faith if you aren't an Evangelical Christian.

    It might be relevant context that Liberty University was founded (1971) and led by Jerry Falwell, one of the most famous televangelists and Christian-right political activists of all time; he also hosted The Old-Time Gospel Hour and founded the Moral Majority. Jerry Falwell, Jr. succeeded to the presidency of Liberty after his father's death in 2007.

    If you do earn a Liberty degree, people may tend to assume that you are an Evangelical Christian because of it. This may or may not matter to you, but it might be something to consider if that's not the case.

    Would you tend to assume that Notre Dame grads are Catholic, or that BYU grads are Mormon, or that Yeshiva University grads are Jewish? If so, the same principle applies here.
