I'd research very carefully before paying tuition at any institution... especially one where degrees are earned non-traditionally.

Why get a degree if it's based almost solely on life experiences? Those can be listed on a resume and proven to any company with or without a degree, and may be more valuable than the degree itself.

I would not get a degree for "life experience". IMO that is just saying "look at how smart I am."

If I were to get another degree, it would be to learn something I didn't already know and it would most likely be for a career change. I would not do it to pad my resume.

On my way home folks. Keep in mind this degree would be legit, yet I think everyone here can see that writing a single paper for a PhD is less than what you would expect. And when you use the degree to establish your authority it smacks of being deliberately miss leading.

I think Baron is dangling this carrot in front of us to see how many views this topic can get... He's trying to best his SEU thread. :ursofunny

Here is what I want people to keep in mind...

The following is the requirements for a masters:

Masters in Theology

"On the Masters level students can enroll for one of two options: A structured Masters degree which consists of a number of prescribed papers and a short dissertation or students can opt for a Masters degree which consists of a dissertation only."

http://www.unisa.ac.za/Default.asp?C...ContentID=2830

And the Doctor of Theology:

"Doctoral degrees consist of a thesis only (sometimes a reading programme or doctoral examination is also required)."

http://www.unisa.ac.za/Default.asp?C...ContentID=2831

This is the school and the degrees of David K. Bernard.

No classes, Just write two papers and... BAM!!! a Masters and a PhD.

Not that the papers for these classes are easy, but... really?

He has the mind for it why is he afraid to actually take classes at a serious theology school. In my mind his total lack of theological training renders him open to justified criticism for being unqualified to be the voice of the Oneness movement.

This is not a school that specializes in theology. They teach religion, this is a state school for crying out loud.

So the head of UGST takes no classes at the Masters or Doctorate level to earn his degrees

Think about that!!
