利比里亚孔子学院在孔子学院总部（国家汉办）的领导和支持下，由中国长沙理工大学与利比里亚大学合作建设，于2008年12月在利比里亚首都蒙罗维亚揭牌成立。这是利比里亚开办的第一所孔子学院，也是中非友好合作的春雨催生的又一株新苗。
学院将依托利比里亚大学和长沙理工大学两所高校的深厚文化底蕴及学术传统，以传承传播汉语及中国文化为根本，为当地人学习汉语和中国文化提供服务，增强当地的汉语教育和学术标准，为中利教育合作及人文交流搭建起一个互动的平台，使中利两国的文化可以互相借鉴，促进中利友好关系的发展。
学院近期主要为利比里亚大学提供基础汉语教学，属于非学历教育，教学重点是汉语基础知识及中国文化入门，目前正在面向社会开设短期培训课程，包括不同程度的中文教学、旅游及商业汉语。今后如时机成熟，长沙理工大学将通过孔子学院为利比里亚大学提供汉语专业和公共汉语的学历教学，并合作进行学术研究。
