They believe that faith and education are intertwined and that Christian education can help to shape students into well-rounded, compassionate citizens.
I am not a fan of how they push their agenda; however, I don't see how they are so different than other faith-based universities. BYU is 10X worse than Liberty when you factor in the founding fathers; however, Liberty feels like the anti-poster child when there are bigger culprits of this unpopular curriculum approach.
Google Liberty University controversies and you'll find plenty of them. The issue isn't that it's a Christian school. The issue is far beyond that. If you were female, I wouldn't recommend you ever set foot on campus. Faculty isn't filled with tenured professors but instead adjuncts. Read up on the numerous lawsuits they're facing.
Plenty of people have seen this school in their local news to be aware of problems with it. I have read several articles from graduates who had problems finding employment after earning their degree from there because of the problems with the school. Who wants to be ignored because of what their diploma says? Or play a game of 20 questions in an interview about the school and why you went there?
No one said BYU was a great school to attend. If you're Mormon, you grew up with those teachings and know what's expected of you. Don't think they're something many of us would ever want anything to do with either.
