Adjuncts are essential to Liberty University’s mission of Training Champions for Christ. It is expected that an adjunct member models 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. Adjuncts should view their teaching, engagement with students, and scholarship as a means to a significant educational end. They should strive to employ a variety of techniques for the development of good learning conditions, view each student as a unique individual, and insofar as it is possible, provide for individual differences, abilities, and interests.
The dissertation chair plays a pivotal role in guiding the candidate through the research process. As the primary advisor of the dissertation process, the chair is responsible for providing expert guidance, ensuring the research process aligns with academic standards, and overseeing the candidate's progress from proposal development to final defense. The chair’s responsibilities include reviewing completed chapters, offering constructive feedback, and helping the candidate refine the research. Additionally, the chair collaborates with relevant stakeholders to ensure that all aspects of the research process, including methodology and subject matter, meet the rigor expected in academia.

The University is a Christian religious-affiliated organization; and as such, is not subject to religious discrimination requirements. The University’s hiring practices and EEO discrimination practices are in full compliance with both federal and state law. Federal law creates an exception to the 'religion' component of the employment discrimination laws for religious organizations (including educational institutions), and permits them to give employment practice preference to members of their own religious beliefs.
Many of our experienced faculty choose to teach at Liberty (not only because of our beautiful campus or cutting-edge classroom technology) because they desire to teach from a Christian worldview. And if you ask, many will tell you that teaching at Liberty is not just their job — it’s their personal ministry. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Lynchburg, Va., Liberty University has been Training Champions for Christ since 1971. As one of the nation’s largest Christian universities, Liberty employs a diverse community of faculty, staff, and student professionals who are united by a shared mission and commitment to excellence. Through their dedication and service, Liberty employees help create a collaborative, faith-driven environment that supports meaningful work and lasting impact.
