    My daughter is headed to DBU this fall as a transfer student. I remeber when DBU was in Decatur and was a 2-year school. I almost went there instead of Howard Payne. (Yes, I am older than dirt!!!!)

    When I graduated from high school, DBU was a 2-year school, but located at its present location in Duncanville. After I spent 2 years at Hardin-Simmons, DBU became a 4-year school, so I transferred there and was in the first graduating class as a 4-year college!

    I may be too squeamish about Internet privacy, but rather than not reply at all, I'm just going to be less specific than others in this thread have been.

    I earned my A.B. in German, my B.S. in Education, and my M.A. in history, all from the same small Midwestern state university. I went on for my Ph.D. in American history at a much larger state university in another Midwestern state, which was a mistake--I should have gone through with my original plan, which I was talked out of, of going for a second M.A., in political science, at another state university in my same state. Doing so would have qualified me to teach community college in two related subjects often linked together in faculty opening ads. That would also have better served my interest in church-state studies. When I couldn't force myself to get to the dissertation stage, I transferred to a large, lower-tier Northeastern state university to partially start over, but I was already long burned-out on secular American history, a subject that, research-wise, I had had just enough interest in to get through my M.A. Once again, I made the mistake of turning down the chance to go for that second M.A., even though I was offered admission. Once again I'm at the point where I'm supposed to read 250 books, most of which I'm not the slightest bit interested in, in order to get to the dissertation stage, and finish my Ph.D. Once again I fear I will not be able to force myself. I still love teaching American history, but I have lost all interest in researching it in secular subject areas (I still love reading and researching church history, though).

    What I wanted to do the most was go to seminary and study church history, but I belonged to a church that didn't believe in seminary training. If and only if God opens up the funding, since I've exhausted federal aid eligibility, perhaps I still could go for my M.Div. with a concentration in church history. I'd need a tuition scholarship and a student pastorate for living expenses; at least now I'm at a church that isn't opposed to seminaries. We'll see...

    I had been hoping for a bivocational ministry supported by being university faculty. Without a Ph.D., most but not all community colleges would be willing to hire me if they had an opening. Or I could be a full-time pastor, depending on the size of the congregation or growth of the church plant. Like I said, we'll see...

    I finished my Bachelor of Theology with Andersonville Theological Seminary November 2003. (I transfered 108 credits from Bible Colleges and a Jacksonville College in Texas).

    I'm currently working on a Bachelor of Science in Religion with Liberty University of which I'll be finished after the Spring of 2005. (Lacking 50 more credits)

    After that I plan to go to the Baptist Missionary Assoc. Theological Seminary in Jacksonville, Texas for an MDiv. [​IMG]
