okay I knocked myself for the last two years researching, studying and writing for a Master's and I could have just paid a few hundred bucks..lol....go figure.
The degree thing is one thing. Many Bible colleges and seminaries especially Apostolic are not accredited by a Regional accreditation board. Usually some just get it under a vocational accreditation and add their Bible degrees to it. It used to have to do with accepting the trinity doctrine or not. There are those who are getting accredited(finally) but its just recent. That is why you had to go to secular college and Bible college and the Bible college credits did not transfer.
Just look at this. How did I come upon this? I met a counselor who actually had a masters from Clemson but look at the ministers credentials they had.......

Just think I could have had that reverend doctor title!
Incidentally do you guys know what those online schools are charging for an MBA? DeVry University charges almost 40,ooo.oo. I took a look at that and decided its easier to drive and sacrifice. I am 49 so in the next 15 years am I going to make enough to warrant paying them that???? I doubt it. Those places should have some kind of regulations on what they can charge. Its robbery.
