Of course I am a nobody, but there were several in attendance that were in enrolled in doctoral programs themselves...

Sure, but again it's speculation to assume DKB was exempted

Any reason you can think of that they would be so much cheaper?

Maybe smaller number of faculty members when you just do a Thesis?

Only takes 2 years?

Those might be factors.

As I said, I understand that. My point has been and still is that this is not akin to a degree mill.

I never said you did say he did.

I think it's clearly obvious to everyone that he did not go through what he would have to to get a PHd from an American school. That is beside my point though

You needed an F350 to do the job in theology that he wants to be considered great at, and he went and bought a used Chevy Luv.
