US Doctorates in Question(The Korea Times)

It is interesting that the negative multipliers of the the burgeoning theocratic movement in the US have an impact in Korea as well.


US Doctorates in Question(The Korea Times): "According to Rep. Yoo Ki-hong of the United New Democratic Party, 4,199 people reported their U.S. doctorates to Korea Research Foundation (KRF) between January 2003 and July 2007. However, after examining their degrees through the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), 276 of them are said to have earned them from unaccredited institutes. The figure is equivalent to 6.6 percent of U.S. doctorate holders and 3.6 percent of all 7,765 foreign doctorate holders. Among the 276 people, 140 had it in Christianity-related fields. Education administration, hotel management and art sectors followed behind. Those 276 went to 23 universities. Midwest Seminary of Bible Theology had the most with 39 degree holders while Cohen University and Theological Seminary and American International University (AIU) followed with 38 and 41, respectively. Especially, 32 among of the 41 AIU degree holders are said to have withdrawn registration from the KRF last month, immediately following the crackdown on foreign doctorate degree holders began."
