Exactly Thad. And if one is going into fulltime ministry, the Bible Colleges are there to prepare them.
My daughter wanted to go to a certain Bible College to be in a christian environment - but at the moment, she is not going into ministry, per se. She is a communications major so we chose a Church of God University that would cover both areas. She will get that degree. Everyone minors in Religious Studies. If she decides that she does want to pursue ministry she can add more ministry classes to her schedule to prepare her for that area of her life too.
