Complete catalogue of free AFU Academy courses

Frequently asked questions

Is Liberty Academy really free?

Yes. Every open course is completely free — no hidden fees, no trial periods, and no credit card required.

Do academy certificates count toward a degree?

Academy certificates are non-degree continuing education credentials. They demonstrate skills and completion but do not confer academic credit directly, though they build foundation for degree modules.

What is required to earn a certificate?

Learners must complete all course modules and pass the 5-question Capstone Examination with a score of 80% or higher.

Can employers verify my certificate?

Yes. Each certificate includes a unique ID and QR code linking to a public verification page on the Liberty University website.

Are there courses to prepare for the MBA or DBA?

Yes. The MBA and DBA preparation track includes 12 free courses aligned with Liberty degree modules — from management fundamentals through doctoral research design and executive analytics.
