I'm up in the air about North Central Theological Seminary being a diploma mill. Both NCTS and Southern National Theological Seminary are Pretty much the same school, run by the same man, Dr. Philip Jegede who uses the name Dr. Philip Jay in the faculty page instead of his real last name. This makes it seem suspicious. The website and degrees on both sites are almost identical. The faculty members are identical for each "school", yet neither school webpage claims affiliation with the other which throws up another red flag of suspicion as if they are trying to double dip. The accreditting bodies that they claim "accredit" them aren't accreditted by the department of education. Another red flag, since diploma mills will create false accreditting bodies then have the "accredit" their fake schools to make them seem legit. From what I have researched, for theological schools, if the school isn't accreditted by the Association for Theologican Schools, or isn't regionally or nationally accreditted, don't go to it. Though I will say that I have looked at NCTS's curriculumn and it is pretty impressive. I would imagine that if you go to this school you will probably learn alot. Their courses look sincere, and the requirements for each course require tests, and 5-12 page essay. Some classes, like the critical thinking class, also require live class time according to their site. The Dissertation for the D.Th and Ph.D levels have to be at least 80 pages which seems legit. Most diploma mills I've seen, IF they even require a dissertation are 10-30 pages. Most schools require dissertations to be 100-300 pages from what I have read. . That's why I am up in the air about whether it might be or not be a diploma mill. I have seen real diploma mills advertise $100-$500 Ph.D's attainable in 12 months. Although NCTS and SNTS have some suspicious red flags, they seem sincere, and the degrees appear like they are going to take alot of work. Their Bachelors degree is advertised 2-3 years. If you wanted to get your Ph.D here, it is probably going to take 5-6 years. That doesn't seem like a diploma mill to me, since diploma mills try to sell you a quick degree with little effort. All in all, you will probably learn alot, but the degree received from both NCTS & SNTS is not going to be taken seriously by most people. They also claim that they are preparing to obtain regional accreditation. That might be a sincere statement, but it could also be a gimick to try to get you to "act fast" and get your degree while it is cheap, because once they get regional accreditation the prices are going to skyrocket.

No, it's a diploma mill. They offer a "doctorate", which may be obtained by successfully answering a few questions on The Bible...

Is Bethany Divinity College and Seminary affiliated with the Church of the Brethern or Bethany Theological Seminary located in Indiana?

Answer No, Bethany Divinity College and Seminary is not, nor ever has been affiliated with the Church of the Brethern or Bethany Theological Seminary that is located in Indiana. Bethany Divinity College and Seminary is not a part of a denominational body, but rather is an independent, conservative, Bible based school, Baptist in identification, but trans-denominational in its student body. The school and its professors accept the Bible as the inerrant, infallible, inspired Word of God Bethany is a free-standing school, offering educational course subjects in Bible, Theology, Christian Education, and Bible related subjects; providing solid theological preparation for Christian ministry around the world. Here people can earn a Bachelor, Master or a Doctor degree through off campus studies.TRUE. But a crorrection.. IT IS NEITHER AN ACCREDITED COLLEGE NOR SEMINARY. The accrediting agency they list is bogus. If it is not accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education, Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, then it is not accredited as a seminary. It is a diploma mill and not an accredited institution. Why else have they changed their name three times, and list the lowest price on the internet for an education. If it sounds too good to be true, watch out.
