Liberty University Military Tuition Discount
A reduced military tuition rate for online programs — $250/cr undergrad, $310 master’s, $395 doctoral — that stacks with TA and the GI Bill.
Liberty University’s military "discount" is a reduced military tuition rate for its online (LUO) programs — and it’s a big one. For 2026-27, eligible military students pay $250 per credit hour for undergraduate, $310 for master’s, and $395 for doctoral courses, versus standard online rates of roughly $390-455, $580-645, and $610-675 respectively. That works out to about 36% off undergraduate, 47% off master’s, and 35% off doctoral tuition.
The undergraduate $250 rate is deliberately set to match the federal Tuition Assistance (TA) cap, so active-duty students using TA can often cover undergraduate tuition with little or nothing out of pocket. The rate is open to active duty, Reserve/National Guard, veterans and retirees, their spouses, and current DoD government employees — and military children get 15% off standard tuition.
This is an independent guide. NavyWeek is not affiliated with Liberty University, and Liberty sets and changes these rates annually — confirm current-year rates and your eligibility with Liberty’s Office of Military Affairs.

HOW TO REDEEM
Online at www.liberty.edu
- Apply to a Liberty online (LUO) programThe application fee is waived for service members and veterans.
- Submit your military documentationSend orders, your DD-214, and/or your Joint Services / military transcript to Liberty’s Office of Military Affairs to verify status and apply the military rate.
- Request a free ACE credit evaluationHave your military training evaluated for transfer credit — up to 75% of a degree may transfer (at least 25% must be completed at Liberty).
- Coordinate your education benefitWork with the military benefits office to apply Tuition Assistance (active duty) or GI Bill/Yellow Ribbon (veterans/dependents) toward tuition.
HOW IT WORKS
The real maximum-savings play isn’t just the rate — it’s stacking the military rate with your education benefit. Active-duty undergraduates using Tuition Assistance often reach roughly $0 out of pocket because the $250 rate matches the TA cap; veterans and dependents can layer the Post-9/11 GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon, which can cover tuition and add a housing allowance.
Before you enroll, get the free ACE evaluation of your military training for college credit. Credits you don’t have to pay for at any rate are the single biggest lever, and up to 75% of a degree may transfer (with at least 25% completed at Liberty). The application fee is also waived for service members and veterans.
Verification is handled by Liberty’s Office of Military Affairs using your service documentation — orders, DD-214, and/or your military transcript — not a consumer verifier like ID.me. The military rate then applies to eligible LUO tuition, and rates are set per academic year.
Exclusions & fine print
- Rates apply to online (LUO) programs; verify residential-program terms separately.
- The doctoral $395 rate generally applies to those continuing from a graduate degree within about 2 academic years — confirm your program.
- The military rate is not a promo code and isn’t combinable with unrelated tuition promotions; it stacks with federal education benefits instead.
- At least 25% of the degree must be completed at Liberty (up to 75% transfer credit).
- Spouse eligibility follows Liberty’s stated definition; children use the 15% benefit, not the flat rate. Rates are set per academic year and may change.
