I just went to the Carlbrook Website. I found this list of Advisors. I see some well known schools listed here as well as some good experience. You found one guy that's trying to get his Master's degree from Argosy because he lives in the middle of nowhere, doing what he is committed to doing. This is the best list I've seen at any TBS. The academic faculty is better than I thought it would be too. There's nothing wrong with this list.
