Liberty University and Lynchburg have outgrown old stereotypes
December 31, 2015 | by Heather B. Hayes
During the past decade, Liberty University has grown into the biggest college in Virginia, but that reality isn’t well known beyond the Lynchburg region, admits the school’s president, Jerry Falwell Jr.
He often has to spend the initial minutes of conversations with other university presidents and high school students in other parts of Virginia explaining how much Liberty has changed in recent years.
“People still tend to think of us as a small, Baptist college that’s mainly geared toward training church workers and pastors,” Falwell says, noting that business administration and psychology now are its most popular programs. “We’ve grown so much and so fast that the perception of who we are just hasn’t kept pace.”
