Anyone go here? I'm considering applying, but want first-hand opinions.
Oh, ok. I still appreciate your opinions/advice, thoughbliz said:I don't teach - I've been involved in admissions work.
Next to God, education is the most important thing in my life. I see it as a major resource in making the world a better place. However, the social feel of wherever I go must be as good as the academic.bliz said:A degree from an unaccredited institution isn't "nothing" but it can limit what you will be able to do and who will hire you and where you can go on to graduate school. Personally, I feel that a good college education enlarge your world and prepare you to go out into that larger world. A degree that limits you unecessarilly will not do that.
I want to major in American Studies. The history plus culture interests me greatly. However, this major is usually offered only at secular colleges--which I am also considering--so I would be equally happy majoring in youth ministry at a religious school. Maybe a double in political science too... I'm real big on social studies.bliz said:What would you like to study? Are you limited at all by geography? Denominational preferences?
I'll check that out... Thanksbliz said:Check out: www.gospelcom.net/naccap This is the National Association of Christian College Admissions Personnel Members are both Christian Liberal arts colleges and Bible colleges. All are accredited by regional accreditation or the AABC. All have agreed to follow specific ethical procedures in their recruitment practices. I'm not saying that there aren't any good colleges who are not members, but this is a very comprehensive group which also offers great college fairs, so most Christian colleges highly value their memberships and want to retain them.
Wherever I go has to be in an urban--or suburban at the least--area. I'm not much for small towns. I have to be around people almost all the time.bliz said:If I can help - let me know what you are looking for in a college.

See, I don't have a set denomination. I am a charismatic modalist, and while Apostolic/UPC is pretty close to what I believe, I don't follow their lifestyle guidelines. I don't believe I have to wear a dress everyday in order for God to accept me, and stuff like that.
Thank you
