VUL introducing new doctorate in May

[DeanLewis]

Personally, I am underwhelmed at the prospect of a religious school stepping outside of its niche to offer a DBA.  Aside from remarkably low admission standards, what has this school got that can't be found in many other (and more reputable) places?

VUL isn’t a religious school in the sense that it is a seminary offering theological education solely, that hasn’t been its MO in a very long time (despite housing a seminary from the beginning). Rather, it’s more like Liberty, Regent, and the like (except with a much more inclusive stance toward LGBT people overtly), offering education in a theologically informed milieu.

I don’t blame anyone for working with “NA” groups, as they’re often much cheaper than the classical “RA” folks, both in initial fees and maintenance of accreditation fees, which can directly equate to lower tuition. 

As far as admission standards, let’s face it, outside of medicine and law, most anyone with a pulse can get into most any school these days.
