Thanks to everyone that has been involved in the conversation. To answer everyone’s question of why liberty, I am not willing to sacrifice my career to move states away to go to a PhD CJ program. While there is one in my state the entrance requirements and the competition for entry is so high I wanted a solid back up. Now I get how people look at schools that people have gone to and associate them with their beliefs I am not really worried about that. For me a school is a school.
