2025-2026 College of Osteopathic Medicine Catalog

This catalog is not intended to be a contract or part of a contractual agreement between LUCOM and the student. The Catalog is available online at https://catalog.liberty.edu/osteopathic-medicine/. Changes in the content of the Catalog may be made at any time, by the University or College administration. Notice of anticipated changes will be given to the students in advance of implementation, whenever possible. Each addition of the Catalog supersedes all previous versions, documents, and directives where they may be in conflict. Failure to read the Catalog and to be familiar with the rules, policies, and procedures contained in it does not excuse the student from being required to comply with the provisions of the policy.

Liberty University reserves the rights to amend, modify, add to, or delete from its rules, policies and procedures without notice, affecting its institutional relationship with students as deemed necessary by the administration without such change being considered a violation of the relationship between the University or College and the student. Such changes may include but are not limited to changes in tuition and/or fees, academic requirements, curriculum or responsibilities of the student.
