Is it true that BMG does not allow it’s talmidim to get a degree on the side?
In most cases that is true, yes. It’s been a takkanah of the yeshiva since its inception. In certain cases a talmid can be granted an exception by speaking to one of the Roshei Yeshiva. Exceptions are ocassionally granted depending upon individual circumstance, but only for distance learning, PCS sponsored programs, at the like, never for on campus, traditional college programs.
Does anyone know of any alumni of this program who used it to get a job?
I want to know if anyone is machshiv this degree even though it’s full of yeshiva credits.
