Cheapest Masters and PhD/ThD in Religion

What are the cheapest Masters and Doctoral degrees in Religious Studies from both good unaccredited schools and RA/GAAP schools? I already know of Columbia Evangelical Seminary and South African Universities. Thanks.

 

Daniel,

I think you have just hit the least expensive. UNIZUL at 1800 is probably one of the least expensive credible programs.

The problem is that if you are attempting to do Ph.D's and Th.D's, then your US options are neither inexpensive nor completely DL.
If you are thinking of doing a DL doctorate in theology for the purpose of teaching in a seminary and cannot attend a US school full time (best option) then one of the South African Schools with a theology department with a good reputation is probably not a bad answer. You will find PhD's from UNISA on faculty of US seminaries or in one case posted here becoming head of a Canadian seminary.

If you just want the doctorate for personal development then I would still go accredited. There are possibilities to do a D.Min. with an appropriate Masters but at more cost than UNIZUL.

Tom Head may be able to provide Australian examples and I believe the University of Wales has a DL Ph.D. in Religious Studies with limited residency.

Hey North,

Do you have any more information on the UNIZUL program? My dad is looking to get a degree in religion. Is that the price of a Masters and do you have a link to the website? Please let me know.

Thanks,

Matt
