A couple great faculty, but for the most part my graduate education courses were not really of graduate level in terms of teaching critical thinking or real research skills. Overall my M.Ed. program was not a wise use of time and money, and my expectation of a nourishing spiritual environment was replaced with a artificial and stifling legalistic kind of religious indoctrination. Actually, there was very little integration of theological thinking and education theory or practice - surprising for a school with such a strong Christian identity. Unless of course you count discussions whether a Christian teacher can wear pants and still be a Christian, but not if you want real thinking about what it means to think deeply about what it means to be a Christ-follower and an educator. Also, beware if you have any expectation of teaching outside of a Christian school - even if you see working in a public school as a mission field you will be condemned and marginalized.
