Do we need a complete college of Religious and Divinity Studies at Texas A&M?

Had A&M had something like that I would have attended. As it were I attended Pepperdine (which was great) and then Fuller Seminary. I still bleed maroon though.

It would be a can of worms. I can just see a court case forcing us to have Wiccan studies as part of the curriculum.

We have that covered on the R&P board also with Tanya.

BQ Mole Man has a point however, if a state university had a divinity school, there would be political pressure on what would be taught as part of the curriculum. It is best to leave it up to the private schools.

You mean, you don't even want a short professional program for Rel/Div aficianados?
Come on!! With the posts on this board and on the B&P board, we need to push for a College of Religious studies at A&M. Push! Push, I say.

Who determines that "short" and "professional" curriculum?

A short professional program is usually 9 hours.Courses are specifically tailored to a tight philosophy.

Orphan,
Religious studies are offered as a minor at A&M now.

I think not. Keep A&M a secular school.

It wouldnt be a true Religious studies program, just that of catholic dogma.

Notafraid is not a Catholic. It would therefore be Catholic and Protestant, of the highest caliber...
