49. LOL! Huckaburger didn't go to "grad school."
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 12:48 AM by Swamp Rat
He dropped out Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (main campus is in Fort Worth, Texas). The location in San Antonio is an extension school where approx. 3 grad courses are taught per semester, so I suspect he is lying about his curriculum.

"I have a bachelor of arts in religion and a minor in communications in my undergraduate work. And then I have 46 hours on a master's degree at Southwestern Theology Seminary. So, my degree as a theological degree is at the college level and then 46 hours toward a masters -- three years of study of New Testament Greek, and then the rest of it, all in Seminary was theological studies, but my degree was actually in religion."

Looks like he may be fudging the numbers too. The Masters Degree in Theology requires 24 hours, and ridiculously low entrance standards (a score of 100 on the Internet-based TOFEL for international students?!? :wtf:). Apparently he couldn't even finish the 26 hour non-thesis track... three years and 46 hours of "work," and no degree? It's not like he was attending a real, Jesuit university or something. :eyes:
