Tell you what Hoovie, why don't you look at their Bachelors program and see if you would be willing to pay for your daughters to go to school there.

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I would not send my kids there.

Fair enough, but that's not at issue.

It is not a two year commitment Prax, they are given a MAXIMUM of two years to write.

Same thing here in the states, most PhD are up to five years. Two or three of classes and two or three to write.

However, big however, when you reach the point of all but thesis. If you can get your subject approved, then write to their standards (whatever they may be!) you are done, even if it is only 90 days.

His theological education is seriously deficient compared to someone like Dan Segraves.

There is nothing in the PhD program that says he needed to do anything but prepare a Thesis.

Glad to see you write this...... I was beginning to wonder if Dr. Dan would be the next one you put a target on. I don't "think" there is any question of his education.

According to the website, they are assigned a program of study and it's a 2 year endeaver

See above- they are NOT "assigned a program of study" and it NOT a two year commitment, it's a two year cut off.

Well - maybe not a "Chevy Luv" but a Toyota Tundra ? Or a F150 instead of the F350 ?

It would be way cool to have you too.

Maybe you can come out and visit some of your relatives, our church is right in the middle of Amish country in southern Maryland.

I showed your picture to one of them I was buying corn from last weekend and he mumbled something about not seeing you since rumspringa.

And to think I was thinking about getting a MDiv from UGST, where he is president. Cost over $26,000 in tution. Three years of classes.

When I could follow his lead. For THREE grand and a few months, write a paper get a Masters?

Thanks for the heads up.

Before students may submit the thesis for examination, they must complete to the satisfaction of the College a prescribed study programme in the chosen subject and/or another theological and/or non-theological subject(s);

Which can of course be satisfied by life experience.
