I recently graduated with my Bachelors degree and was wondering if I could get some direction on the best schools that the COG honor for grad degrees? I am looking toward getting my doctorate soon. I have applied at Vandy and Emory, I know that there are some COGs with advanced degrees from there. But, those seem like a lot of work.

I am not a pastor. I want to go into administrative work. After my initial post, I started gathering information on the degrees of some COG admins and educators that I have heard of. From what I have gathered so far, it does not matter too much if you are admin. They will either give you an honorary or an unaccredited school is fine. But this is just a start. I guess if you are working in education it is more important to have accredited degrees.

Now, fellers, this whole thread is ironically interestin. TD comes on Acts, a brand spankin new poster, an commences statin the source a folks docterates. An its not just the fact a statin the source a folks docterates, but the specific listin a the names is real interestin as well. Seventeen names, 5 a which don't have earned docterates.Its real interestin at he knows the source a one particular fellers doctorate, an some of em like Paul Walker he don't know. At adds to the interestingness a this thread.

If you want to do admin, are you looking for a theological degree? If it's not a theology degree, I'd imagine just about any reputable state or private university would work. Maybe for ministry, they'd prefer something that wasn't too liberal. But if you were doing business administration or something along those lines, there are a lot of options. Grad school is usually hard, even if you don't go to a top name school. Trust me, I've gone to a school that ranked fairly highly and one that doesn't rank that high and both are hard. The smaller, less reputable programs sometimes aren't as well organized and don't offer the same support. So there are advantages to going to the higher profile schools with good rankings, too

How do you not know Paul Walker has an earned PhD (Georgia State) and claim to be COG?Hmmmm, as well.Sounds like it was just a hit job on those that don't have them

I am not sure what you are implying, but I am a recent graduate and my pastor recommended that I ask on this site concerning some good ideas for schools. I have been in the COG all of my life but do not know these people's degrees. Most of them I got off of websites and a couple from Wikipedia. The blank ones are ones that I do not know. I will add Georgia State to my list. That is a good school near my family.
