I graduated in the spring of '11 with a B.Sc. in Bib. Studies and have spent this year working toward a B.Ed. from a state university. Moody helped to prepare me for my current studies and had higher academic standards than my current university. I found their classes to be informative and contain the appropriate level of content. With any school, there are good and not so good professors. Some of the teaching was somewhat narrow, but based on Moody's interpretation of Scripture. I disagreed with some of their doctrinal positions, but was respectful of their position and, I feel like I was treated with respect even though my views differed. I learned from their perspective but didn't feel like it was forced upon me. I think it is beneficial for students to have realistic expectations in any Bible college or university. Bible schools do not create spiritual growth and cannot do the work of the Holy Spirit. Humankind is flawed, and yes, that includes Christians in Bible College or Seminary. Do not come to this school expecting it to fix all of your personal or spiritual problems. I would recommend this school for anyone wanting to study the Bible and still work toward an accredited degree. Stay away from Bible schools that aren't regionally accredited! Moody's credits transfer easily to other universities and, in my experience, have opened up the door to further education.
