    Just hadn't seen it discussed before. The idea of six week classes seems interesting.

    Good discovering!

    This is, unquestionably, one of my favorite, little, RA schools. It is also, now, one of U.S. News and World Reports's best colleges of 2005... no small feat. Kudos to you, dcv, for stumbling onto it.

    I strongly recommend it, generally, to anyone interested in any of the D/L degrees it offers...

    ...but, in particular it's BA in Pastoral Ministry to any pastor or minister who somehow never got his/her undergrad degree, and who would love to get his/her MDiv but can't (in the first place, because s/he doesn't have a bachelors, but also, and in the second place, because s/he can't go do a residency -- howsoever brief -- anywhere). I've spoken, at length, with the head of that program, there, and I'm terribly impressed by his motivations and what he was trying to accomplish when he built that program; as well as how magnificently he appears to have achieved his goals. Plus I really like the guy, just generally. He's a wonderful guy -- an ordained Methodist (UMC) minister, and the university's chaplain. If you look, closely, at the coursework, it's very practical and, by hook or by crook, pretty much covers all the really salient parts of most any MDiv. Though it's offered by a UMC-owned school, he has bent over backward to make the program as non-denominational as possible. It's a really fine piece of program design of which, in my opinion, he may be proud.

    Additionally, for non-profit managers/executives who somehow didn't get their bachelors, the school's Not-for-Profit Management program looks terriific, too...

    ...or so it is my opinion.
