LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) _ Liberty University says enrollment at its seminary school is projected to increase its student body by more than 50 percent.
Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary and Graduate School is expecting 510 resident students this fall, and 4,580 distance-learning students. Last fall, the seminary had 352 resident students and 2,917 distance-learning students.
Dave Eppling, the seminary's chief of staff, says students in the program include a blend of both graduates of Liberty's bachelor's degree programs, as well as others from around the country.
Earlier this month, Liberty closed off its fall enrollment at 3,500 new students, including those in the seminary. That would bring the school's population to about 11,300 resident students, up 800 from last fall.
