Gail

[The program] prepared me for the rigorous schedule of studying required in pursing a seminary degree - the long study hours, writing papers, reading, juggling family and work schedules - I had already done it in [the program] so the discipline was already in place.  It also taught me to think critically about what I read, and honed my writing skills which were definitely necesssary for graduate level course work.
