But how can anybody expect to substitute all graduate courses in literature with that is beyond me.

I'm unsure now, but this may have counted among the "additional credits" that students are to take in areas not their specialty (if the goal is to open the mind, then working in Haiti or Afganistan probably fits it). However, this certainly did not count for the base credits to get a degree in their discipline.<br /><br />I'm unsure of the position of this missionary, but certainly one cannot reasonably expect a university to count religious missionary work for base credits (except perhaps for a religious degree?).DMhttp://david.monniaux.free.fr/dotclear/noreply@blogger.com
