Roy Brown Queens College of Theology RE: Free Doctor of Theology - Vle045 - 07-25-2024 Interesting. I went to the site and found this too. PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS SELF PACED, ONLINE PROGRAM WITH NO FACULTY SUPPORT. RE: Free Doctor of Theology - newdegree - 07-25-2024 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" RE: Free Doctor of Theology - openair - 07-25-2024 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.
