Help! I'm looking for a correspondence or Houston program for Religious Studies/Theology, both Masters/PhD. I found $4000 1 year Doctor of Divinity course by correspondence (67 hours) but it's not accredited. Other Masters programs have prerequisites I don't have (I have a B.A. in Math/Art with 1 philosophy course and no history/religion/political science).
Would like a program that is dissertation based, where research is into proving the universality of God by reconciling different denominations and religions on an agreed interpretation of scriptures that is consistent with all traditions. Would like to work with scholars in Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and Constitutional studies especially regarding church/state law and religious freedom. I would like to be accredited to teach at a community college level.
Can anyone recommend an academic institution or counselor I might consult with to find a suitable program? Help!

You could check with Emory University in Atlanta or Naropa Institute in Boulder for correspondence options. Columbia University (NYC) also has a good program. Good luck.

I cannot recommend any, since I don't live in that area. However, my teacher attended Dallas Theological Seminary, studying Hebrew and OT Studies. He speaks very highly of the place, noting that it prepared him for the advanced work he did at other universities. Its web site is http://www.dts.edu/

This has worked for others, but you may have to change your thinking.
