I would also be interested to kno what kind of funding you were able to get from cambridge. Thanks!

Thanks guys! I actually already have books 1 and 2 of Athenaze. I have actually recently been toying with the idea of doing a second MA in classics in order to improve my language skills and my knowledge of ancient history. Any thoughts on this?

Like many people who come from a biblical studies background, I started out with learning "biblical Greek". Obviously, learning a language through the study of such a limited corpus seems odd. In fact, I think this practice tends to perpetuate a certain amount of laziness on the part of many NT students. This being said, are there any good resources that anyone could recommend for a student trying to gain a broader knowledge of classical and Hellenistic Greek for use in historical studies? I geuss I am looking for a Greek book for students/victims of biblical Greek. Thanks!

I guess I have just not seen any of these programs. Assuming these programs exist, one would hardly think that someone with no language background would be a competitive applicant. Do you have specific schools in mind?

Im sure you could find a program that would allow you to begin some coursework while completing remedial language training. Maybe check that out. It seems highly unlikely, however, that you will find a program that is both a phd feeder and requires no previous language study.

I found this in the newsletter section of the alumni and friends tab. https://religiousstudies.ku.edu/sites/religiousstudies.ku.edu/files/docs/Fall%202013%20Annual%20Newsletter%20Proof.pdf U of C and Princeton are mentioned.

A fair answer, thanks! I have looked at Regent in Vancouver (MCS) not only because they have a decent reputation, but also because they basically advertise their acceptance of non-accredited students. Would this be a wise move? Btw, I am not a Fundie and I did not attend a diploma mill, Bob Jones, or Pensacola. But I do see your point. Mine is a small school in Kansas City that has been in opperation for about 75 years.

Hello all, I am about to complete my B.A. at a non-accredited bible college and I am now looking at my options for grad school. I have looked into a few ATS and Regionally accredited schools and have found that some of them will admit students with non-accredited degrees. My question then is this: Assuming that I am able to secure a spot at one of these accredited institutions, how would my lack of an accredited bachelors degree affect my chances of getting into a decent Ph.D program? P.S. I started at my current institution with no real desire to do grad work. Once I began to consider graduate school, however, I felt like I was too far along to consider starting over at an accredited school. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
