Marcion Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hey just wondering if anyone knew about Vanderbilt's MA In New Testament. Is it still not taking applications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Body Politics Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 "Nope" as in "no applications accepted." Sorry, I didn't mean "nope" as in "nope, not still closed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xypathos Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 From what I understand, this is because several of the faculty in NT are on sabbatical/leave. I imagine it'll be back to business as usual soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it'll be back to business as usual soon. I'm pretty sure it's not a sabbatical/leave issue. sport01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacklunch Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 The word on the street is the NT faculty do not like/work with one another. Apparently the dean decided to freeze anymore incoming NT students (PhD, at least). Their entire program has been declining for quite some time, I think. You would be much better served in the NT area at almost any of the other big name schools, including most of the Catholic ones (ND, BC, Marquette).

xypathos Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Who is the faculty member at Vandy in NT that has essentially "closed" the department? Looking back on older threads and even other forums and blog posts, there's posts going back a couple of years, mentioning a faculty member that has made the environment among faculty and graduate students very unfavorable. As an incoming student, I'm curious as to who this person might be. I'm not looking to out this person publicly, but if someone could toss me a PM, I'd appreciate it.
