I attended TBC from 89-93 and earned a Bachelors in Secondary Education. Following that I worked for a couple years before joining the Air Force in 1995. I had aspirations to become an officer but found out that as my degree was unaccredited, I wasn't really eligible to apply. I contacted TBC because during a chapel service during my time there Dr. Davis stated (and this has been confirmed by others there that day) that current students during the TRACS accreditation process would have their degrees retroactively accredited. Well, that didn't happen, and TBC denied that had ever been said. Eventually they admitted that might have been said, but that TRACS was the overriding authority on that and he didn't have the authority to make such a statement.
Since then my degree has been essentially worthless because unless I was willing to work for peanuts in a Christian school that MIGHT accept the degree, an unaccredited degree doesn't do a thing for me. I eventually earned a Masters in Criminal Justice degree that trumps the degree from TBC. Just want to say that anyone who supports that kind of blatant lying should have their head examined. I think highly of those faculty who had no part in that (Dr. Shafer, Dr. Cash to name a couple) but to do something like that and still consider yourself a Christian college calls your college into reproach and brings shame to what you say you stand for. Not my two cents...basic fact.
