Andersonville question

Accepting transfer credits is based on the credibility of instruction from another institution whereas accepting a student with a degree is more about the qualifications of the individual who may have come by his or her competence through means other than formal education at a RA school.

In the case of Christian schools accredited by ACSI though - to take credits for Bible credit (not transfer) and not to take a degree is odd. You can get a degree from Andersonville (or Bethany, etc) and ACSI will take every Bible credit toward re-cert but still won't accept the degree. The credits will advance you to a point. Why are all the credits worthy, but the degree is not. I understand all the reasoning. I only mentioned this because of the incongruity of this to the info about Liberty mentioned in the OP by webdog.

Are we 100% certain that Liberty has accepted credits from schools like Andersonville and Bethany?

I believe Liberty and LBU have some kind of an agreement (perhaps Martin can verify this).

I thought the OP said they accepted people with degrees from Andersonville but didn't accept credits.

I could have lost track

Here's the actual quote about Andersonville from the OP:

December, 2007, a student reported being accepted in the doctorate
program at Liberty with 90 credit hours at the graduate level from
Andersonville Theological Seminary.

I don't think Andersonville has any degrees equivalent to 90 hours, but it's been awhile since I looked at their site.

I must have run more than one of the statements together in my feeble brain.

Bitsy, well, we have both in the OP: Liberty accepting both credits and a BA.

Maybe this was not intended by Webdog. I don't know.

I see now, I didn't pull the whole quote about Andersonville:

I have several students’ acceptance letters for verification. This
school accepts our degrees, but not individual credits. In
December, 2007, a student reported being accepted in the doctorate
program at Liberty with 90 credit hours at the graduate level from
Andersonville Theological Seminary.

So it looks like they might have done both, even though Andersonville says they onely accept degrees.

It was the first sentence I was pulling from in my comparison to what ACSI accepts (obviously). I'm still curious about 90 grad hours at Andersonville. I need to look them up again.

I guess someone needs to contact both Liberty and Andersonville to find out what's really up.

I did...Liberty didn't respond to my email, and Andersonville's response was the OP information. It's odd that Liberty didn't respond. I wonder why?

Liberty is OBNOXIOUSLY slow in responding to e-mails (in my experience). They have a lot of inquiries, I'm sure.

I guess in time they will respond to you. Have you tried calling? I rather call than email.

No I haven't. It's been 10 days, so that might not be a bad idea. Still waiting on their catalog, too...

Ok, kool!

I think Stefan might be right, since Liberty is the largest university in the US.

Also, if you are communicating with the registrar's office, you have to hound them. I paid for a transcript from LU that never got sent. I had to ask months later for them to resend it (no fee, but still!).

Try the live chat option instead of email. You can get a transcript of your chat.

The largest university in the United States?

I just received my Bachelor's of Religious Studies from NationsUniversity. I had planned to go to Andersonville in 2006 but decided to stay at Nations. After some long, hard thought and prayer, I think I'm going to attend Andersonville. Except for the King James Onlyism and hard cessationism they're pretty much in line with my theology.

Moreover, cost is a problem. My father is recovering from cancer and I'm disabled, so money is tight. I had planned to attend Bethany but at the moment cannot afford them, either.

So, come June 1 I will be working for my Master's in Theology. I know the degree will not carry the same weight as Dallas or SATS, but at least I'll be doing something!

BTW, I like the new design of Andersonville's site. The old one looked tacky.

I agree! The old website DID look tacky... the new one is much better...
