They'll be happy to teach you how to fly complex machinery. And they'll also teach you that the Earth is 6000 years old and that man coexisted with dinosaurs. As long as you're okay with cognitive dissonance you should be fine.

Has anyone transferred into Liberty that already has certifications such as commercial or instrument and received credit for the Liberty classes?
I took my PPL through Liberty and the flight affiliate program. I am getting an incomplete in the class because my flight school is so busy I cannot get flights scheduled to fit on Liberty's semester system to finish in the time they allow.
I am wondering if I can just go directly through my flight school (which is part 141) to get instrument and commercial. Then I would request credit for the classes from Liberty using the FAA certifications so I can continue in the Bachelor's program to get the R-ATP.
I could care less about the Bachelor's degree as I already have one, I am just trying to cut 6 months of CFI work before getting to 141

OK, do you think they will give me credit if I try for transfer credit with the certifications? I am going to call tomorrow and see what they say

I don't know Liberty's policies at all, but I imagine if your degree is accredited you should get a fair amount of credit for it. Only way to find out is to call and ask.
Either way, report back and let me know what they say. I'm still considering this as an option, depending on where I end up moving to go to flight school.

I know plenty of Christians that went to public universities and they ended up fine. I also know quite a few that went to religious schools and they are a lot more awkward socially to be around.
I do see good things about their aviation program at Liberty, and it is a large mainstream university so I think only certain folks might dismiss an education from there to the extent that others seem to indicate.
