Pretty cool but something I wouldn't do since it has no accreditation. "Columbia Divinity is an exempt institution from licensure requirements as our curriculum supports theological content and objectives, offering students religious and theological training for a vocation in ministry. Columbia Divinity is not accredited by a recognized accrediting agency"
Degrees In Progress:
EVMS Doctor of Health Science
Completed Degrees:
Doctor of Healthcare Administration Dec 2021
Masters of Business Administration July 2022
Masters of Public Administration '19
Masters of Arts in Urban Affairs '17

If you're residing in the United States as a student, you can legally obtain the 'Doctor of Theology' title through a religious-exempt institution in select states. That does not protect you from "degree mill graduate" accusations, so you need to tread carefully. As for residents of other countries, I would be extra careful, as many countries have laws addressing the unauthorized use of titles as well as fines and penalties for claiming the Doctor title without full degree recognition. This penalty would even apply to some accredited U.S. professional doctorates resulting in a Doctor title, since many other countries only recognize PhD equivalent doctorates. Many religious exempt institutions in the U.S. offer their degrees to students in countries where unaccredited degree-granting activity is illegal. This is especially problematic. See the laws in your own country/state before taking the unaccredited route.

Queens College of Theology When I read this I can't figure out if it is actually a free degree, or if they only reduce the admission to $0.

The discount code does not work anymore. I checked a month ago.
