Accreditation

See the main article on this topic: Academic accreditation

American Liberty University is unaccredited and in most states, their degrees are inadequate for someone to be licensed in most of the fields the school offers [2].

Academics

ALU offers "degrees" in Acupuncture/Oriental Medicine and Business Administration.

  • Doctor of Philosophy in Acupuncture (PhD)
  • Diploma in Acupuncture (For Licensed Medical Doctor's only)

Business

  • Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A)
  • Master of Business Administration (M.B.A)

Doctoral Dissertations

It is to be noted that "doctoral" requirements includes some courses and a "dissertation" of only 20-40 pages in length. The "University" claims to include original research and contribution to scholarship (though internet searches for student dissertations turn up nothing other than dissertation requirements for Liberty University).

Faculty

No faculty are listed in the ALU catalogue [2]
