    Given that titulo propio is a Spanish term that means something specific to that predominantly Catholic country's higher education system, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to cover Protestantism. Doubly so when Nations would seem to have that price point covered.

    At best, you might be able to find a non-denominational (but largely Catholic) religious studies degree. I remember seeing one that seemed to be that once. In Spanish, no English. Still, NationsU was cheaper, even if it took you 4+ years to finish.

    Skip the propio, if you want, you can go Nations U or the Kairos route instead...

    Sometimes, the term "propio" has been (improperly) used on DI as a generic synonym for "fast, cheap, easy and legal," regardless of country. If anyone wants a religious degree that meets these 4 criteria, there's another option - in the US. In 22 States, schools that award religious degrees only, are permitted to do so legally, without accreditation.

    Religion isn't exactly my field, as many here know, but I've read that some of these "religious exempt" schools are quite good, (and rigorous) but their quality often comes at a substantial price. There also are (and were) a few good schools in that group that offered low cost. Nations, which I believe might be the best option of all, here, operated under "religious exemption" for quite a few years before it attained DEAC accreditation.

    At the low end, quality and cost-wise - you can find "religious exempt" schools that will award a "degree" for a weekend's work and maybe $300-$500. Which are the best US "religious exempt" schools - preferably with reasonable tuition? I have no idea. I'm sure others here do. I'll leave that to those who know.

    This place has a few: https://www.techtitute.com/us/. Why not find a legitimate unaccredited seminary or grad school?

    It's a Mexican-based school. There's a thread on this Technological University here: https://www.degreeinfo.com/index.php?threads/tech-technological-university.61572/#post-576844 Have a look.

    I think legitimate unaccredited seminaries, grad schools etc. are probably a better idea. We could use some suggestions on schools that meet people's legitimacy standards - and represent good value for the money.

    If you want two out of the three (low cost and Christian), there's a Coptic Orthodox Christian titulo propio degree being offered by Agora University's Holy Transfiguration College:

    Agora is now DEAC accredited, but they can also, for a few, provide successful students with a second propio diploma from UCAM in Spain.

    Aren't some of the unaccredited seminaries more expensive than Nations and Kairos?

    Most of them, yes.

    NationsU can be as cheap as $1k-$2k. Hard to beat that.

    "Umm, yes it is, unfortunately, Mr. er... Meat Loaf, is it? Two out of three definitely won't gain you admission here at Haahvahd. We generally require five out of three for most applicants. We did accept four out of three for ... certain disadvantaged groups... but apparently, The Supreme Court says those days are over."

    "But cheer up. There are other schools, or so I've heard -- Yale, Brown, both possibilities. And if you're willing to study in (shudder) New Jersey, I'm fairly certain Rutgers might have something for you. There, there...dry your eyes. It's not the end of everything..." :rolleyes:
