Re: Get your Degree Today

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.

Re: Get your Degree Today

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.

Re: Get your Degree Today

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.
299 views. Pitiful!

Re: Get your Degree Today

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.

Re: Get your Degree Today

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!!
