Who are the notable alumni. You seem knowledgale about the subject and totally not stating an opinion as fact?
First, notable is in the eye of the beholder. A man who is in the Hospital being taken care of by a great nurse.... He might say that person is more notable than most people.
But here are some alumni:
April Scott
Rep Casey Guernsey
Lee Hays
Tony Tost
Marshall Chrisman
Rose Cecil O'Neill
Ralph David Foster
Bettis Alston Garside
Zilphia Horton
4* Gen Terrence R. Dake
Rep James "Jim" Spainhower
4* Gen Richard Horner Thompson
RNC Chair Robert M. "Mike" Duncan
John Randolph "Jack" Hubbard
Leonard Harrison Aleshire
Just a few

In my opinion, the mole hill was made into a mountain on this one. Only time I ever attended NAIA games was during previous tournaments.
At the games I attended during last year's tournament, no one kneeled. Every fan, player & coach stood and all caps were removed.
I could've updated you on the standing/kneeling status at this year's tournament but they moved it somewhere else.

I have to teach a Foundations class every fall, primarily to freshmen. Believe me, a basic course is needed and should be required regardless of major.
Should be required to graduate HS

Although it's possible that this is more about career and geographic choices (lower cost of living locations).
Students graduate debt free. No loans....
So this seems like a very good school, and the limited debt is a huge plus. I went to graduate school with a girl from there and she was quite bright. That being said, if we're talking purely about whether its unique educational system has a financial benefit long-term, I'm not sure it does.
That being said, I think a work program like this is something that schools could do a better job implementing, even if its only possible to do on a smaller scale.

The National average for a BSN Nurse is right at 76K. In their state it, 55K. They graduate debt free.
To go to college at University of Arkansas, it will cost a student 25K per academic year. That's a potential of 100K for a 4 year degree.
In the state of Arkansas, they will make 55K

As one that teaches "Rhetoric," I will say there is a place for college graduates to be able to speak and write clearly, use appropriate language, and genuinely not sound like they have no understanding of the English language.
i know what the word rhetoric means, im just not sure why there is a class "named" rhetoric is all.
in my day it was called "speech" or "public speaking" class and there is a class there called "speech" right next to the rhetoric class, hence my query.
having a class named "rhetoric" sounds like a class named "talking"

I mean, it usually entails the discussion and use of rhetorical devices in speech and writing. Rhetoric, in my view, should be the cornerstone of our education, as it combines language and logic in direct ways.

Want to see a group of college students panic? Tell them that in every decision they ever make, logic should be valued over emotion.
I'm going through Annie Duke's new book with a group of seniors right now. The stuff should be basic but to them its like we just discovered gold.

By shifting your thinking from a need for certainty to a goal of accurately assessing what you know and what you don't, you'll be less vulnerable to reactive emotions, knee-jerk biases, and destructive habits in your decision making. You'll become more confident, calm, compassionate and successful in the long run.

The lack of balance between teaching and research.

Some of those minors should be majors. Accounting as a minor? Come on. Everybody needs an accountant.

There isn't a need for balance. Have you ever worked on a research project?

I’m sure it’s a great school for what it is, but it’s really not a substitute for bigger state and private colleges. There’s no law school, med school, nursing school, vet school, very little research, etc. Might be a good place to start your education but it’s not going to train people for half of the fields out there. You can’t really model most colleges that way

Yeah, I’m not arguing research doesn’t provide an opportunity to learn. I’m saying some professors who might churn out published papers like machines suck at teaching in part, perhaps, because they have very little interest in doing so.

I get that. My point is that it isn't necessarily a detriment to the community that they don't have that interest.

so, it's a society where people work, but theyre not paid for that work, and instead all resources are divided equally among the workers.
yeah, thats a socialist commune. its pretty much the literal definition of a socialist commune.
and some of the most unhinged right wing conservatives on this board love it. they loved the idea. HUGE fans of socialism all of a sudden. lets recap, shall we:

Yeah but don’t they have high moral standards based in Christian philosophy? They’re probably really mean and bigoted and not accepting of anyone other than white people. lol
