They say the motto of the MLA (Master's degree in Liberal Arts) is "Would You Like Fries with That?" as there's no real application of the things you learn in those classes (outside of 'things you can then go on to teach future students if you follow-through & become a Liberal Arts professor'). I imagine 'the motto of Kenneth Copeland Bible College' is very similar. I look through the list of their courses http://www.kcbiblecollege.org/academics/courses/ and--with the exception of 'a course on finances' (which is an elective (i.e. an extra-time, sorta for-fun course)) and some other electives (media-technology, aviation, etc.)--they're courses that have NO PRACTICAL APPLICATION OUTSIDE OF CHRISTIAN MINISTRY! hmm ... the pamphlet I'm looking-at says one of their Curriculum Emphases is "Life Skills and Practical Ministry Experience." And a few of their main courses are "Ministry Internships." ...

I be wondering the same thing and how ironic you touched up on this topic! I took classes at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA and it's a christian bible college and we covered a lot on the religious aspect and a couple of electives on the outside, but when you get in the real world to educate others it just seems like you didn't learn enough in the perspective to fully educate them.

@mythociate Well, yes because I am a book of all trades! I have 4 different minors that I concentrated in and computer science was one to give myself more knowledge and to be able to take advantage of the job economy opportunities instead of just focusing in one career field.

@MsExquisite Napoleon Hill wrote that schools (with his book as their main textbook) should focus more on 'making profits' (including money, but mostly 'anything that helps further society').
