The Department of Marriage and Womanhood offers a course entitled "Understanding Your Husband".

Can this really be taught?

I've gone over the website several times looking for the little blurb that says :this website is a spoof," a la Landover Baptist. I can't find it. Yikes.

You are awesome for dropping the name of Landover Baptist. I LOVED that site.

Muahahahahaha!!

I love how women aren't allowed to participate in athletics. From their website: "Hyles-Anderson College provides students the opportunity to compete in a variety of intramural sports...The goal of our athletics program is to reward man's character as well as his skill. The Greek words at the top of our crest mean "Strength and Beauty." In order to have a well-balanced education students need both qualities. With our sports program, we hope to instill these in our students."

So, why bother even allowing women to receive an education?

I love how the catalog says they're not allowed to fellowship with liberals. Talk about spreading God's love.

ETA: Ooh, look at this quote I found on the website: "One of the most important words in the English language is is "appropriate."" - Dr. Jack Hyles

WTF? It's just randomly quoted at the top of the page.

You guys? I would seriously kill (or at least, wear "immodest clothing"...one sin's as good as another, right?) just to get my hands on some of the "Department of Marriage and Motherhood" syllabi.

is it just me or did the doctors/professors look kinda scary and freakish?

Oh, it's real. The way I found it was by returning a call to someone who apparently works there. They answer the phone with "We're having a great day here at Hyles-Anderson College! How may I help you?" I was so creeped out by that cheery greeting I had no choice but to Google.

Before reading this board and the BJU board, I kind of thought my school was a little too conservative--Everyone has to live on campus, it is dry, there are only 9 hours of co-ed visitation a day, and it is highly encouraged that we attend Chapel (we have to have 48 CEP's which are Cultural Enrichment Programs like chapel, concerts, art exhibits, etc).
But... the more I read, we are LIBERAL!!! We even dance on the stage in the chapel (and it's a Baptist school

)
We have had some women symposiums where the women who attended Georgetown in the 50's talked about the strict curfews, dress code, etc... but still... I can't even imagine.

I like that their website ends in a .com

How do you not qualify for the .edu?

Check out the application:

"How long have you been saved?"

bwahahha. If I wasnt a cheap bastard I'd spend the $20 to apply just to see if I could get in (notice theres no requirement for HS or college transcripts). But alas, $20 buys a bucket of beer at Hooligans. I think its money better spent.

Might be a personal choice of the school...after all, the school does (kinda) qualify for Veterans aid.

Did you see all faculty, staff, and students are supposed to go "SOUL WINNING" weekly? Are there quotas? Do you win a prize if you win the most?

"Um, I'm a Presbyterian...could you explain the question?"

LOL, I'm with the Georgetown poster...this makes me think that Baylor's a bunch of liberals (ooh! we got visiting hours extended this year from 1 to 8 on weekdays! H-A must think that we're gonna burn in you-know-where.), in which case, they couldn't associate with another Baptist college, and that's kind of weird.

LOL at the "how-to-do-its." Sounds like Brownie "try-its," only a lot more fundamentalist and kind of scary. Oh no, I wore a miniskirt this week...God wouldn't approve...and they're so going to change the world by separating themselves away. I mean, look at all the other random cults, especially the hidden-in-the-woods types that do really well at separating themselves. Changing the world, you know, those random folks who don't talk to the rest of the world.

I can't quite decide if this college is funny or scary, especially since it's giving the good ol' MRS degree an actual degree!

Even scarier: Hyles preached in Henderson? Close to home Henderson, TX? Wow. Bonus points for naming off "Devil State University" and "Satan U.," though...kind of funny. Funny how a lot of their faculty lists off Hyles-Anderson, Liberty, and Bob Jones as alma maters. And a looooot list off H-A, aye caramba.
