Legitimate Apostolic Colleges
 
Do y'all know of any legitimate Apostolic colleges? You know, the kind that are actually accredited, with degrees that are accepted by employers? I found one college that offers a degree for $200!! What kinda bogus education is that? Is that the best we can come up with for higher education?

Does anyone know if Great Lakes University is accredited now? I think it's been four years since they started.

$200.00 would be a blessing after you've spent nearly $100K

I can not fathom getting a decent education for $200. It doesn't make any sense. In my opinion, any college that offers a degree for that kind of money is nothing more than a diploma mill.

I taught my kids that if they wanted to go to bible college, they should go to a secular college first and get at the least an Associates degree in a usable field, and then go on to bible college. With all the options for distant learning degree's, I wouldn't recommend anyone go to bible college first. You can always do your bible learning via distant learning after you finish secular college and get settled into a job.

But that is just my opinion.

Same here, Matt. My daughter wanted to go one in Texas that is not accredited. We decided on Lee University in Cleveland, TN. If she wants to go later, she can still do it. I just want her to have that degree first.

Go to a secular college first get a degree then go to Bible college. It is the best way financially and the future.

I agree.
