I know a guy who is stating that he has a Ph.D. and is asking people to call him "Doctor". His Ph.D. is from Northwestern. Er, Northwestern Theological Seminary. (he typically only says "Northwestern"). When I look up the university, they state you can get your Ph.D. in 90 days and point out that it is NOT accredited. Can he use the title of Dr.?
Secondly, he needs a master's and claims he has one from Wesly Seminary. This is a 36-hour master's degree. They claim to be accredited by both the Association of Theological Schools and the Higher Learning Commission.
Are these in any way legit and comparable to a master's or doctorate from any mainstream college or university? What accreditation is common?
Thanks.
