It's a good place to start, then leave - Business Data Analyst Liberty University Employee Review

Because of the pay scale difference, even in comparison to other higher ed institutions in the area, Liberty can't really hire people with experience. They don't come to LU unless they want their kids to go to school for free, they are personally involved in the school/Thomas Road, or can't escape Lynchburg. This makes it easy to find entry level jobs that will train you in a desired field. You can get 4-5 years of experience with industry standard software and applications, then move on.
