It is expected that ‎‎‎‎‎‎a faculty member model a personal commitment to the goals and values of Liberty University, engage ‎‎‎‎‎‎in an active commitment to, and experience of, personal spiritual formation within a biblically informed ‎‎‎‎‎‎Christian worldview.
Faculty should view their teaching, engagement with students, and scholarship as a ‎‎‎‎means to a significant educational ‎‎end.

‎ Faculty attain the rank of Assistant Professor based upon scholarly and professional achievements.
An ‎‎earned doctoral degree or a terminal master’s degree at an accredited institution in an area relevant to ‎‎‎the faculty member’s area of teaching or a professional certificate (e.
g.
, CPA) is preferred but not ‎‎‎required.
‎ Assistant Professors are contracted for 10, 11, or 12 months (30, 33, or 36 load hours, respectively).
