Huckabee apparently earned a bachelor’s degree in “religion” from Ouachita Baptist University. That university today doesn’t offer a religion degree, but it does offer a degree in something called “Christian studies—theology.” It’s quite possible that they changed the name after he graduated without substantially changing the coursework or other content. If true, then he legitimately can claim a “theology” degree. I’m not sure that there is or ever was much of a difference between a “religion” degree from a Baptist university and a “theology” degree. The latter apparently simply sounds better.
First off it's not true, people have check and he has said so. He, the huckster, claimed he had a masters degree in theology which was bogus, he lied about and let it be reported over and over without correction.
