Post subject:	tdwayne: Recent Grad seeking Advice

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.

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

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.
