Editor's notes
- Apply early or don't bother pretending you did. LUCOM's deadline is March 1, 2027, but the school itself says you need to submit before the end of December for a realistic chance, and seats go to deposits first come, first served. Treat December as your real deadline.
- Faith fit is part of the file here, stated plainly. The catalog says your values should be compatible with Liberty's Christian mission, and one required letter can come from a pastor. If that describes you, the character letter is the place to show it. If it doesn't, think hard about whether you'd be happy spending four years here.
- The catalog gives preference to applicants from rural and underserved areas, especially Central, Western and Southern Virginia. Only about a fifth of the 2024-25 class came from Virginia, so out-of-state applicants are welcome. Tie your service record to the kind of community LUCOM trains for.
- You schedule your own interview, and you have 30 days from submission to do it. Watch your new Liberty email account, not only your personal inbox. Missing that window is an easy way to stall a good file.
