I talked to a Pastor from a seminary that is highly respected by so called conservative christians and he told me a lot of classes are just reading Bible translations in English because they found most students have not read through the entire Bible even once even in a translation before enrolling in the seminary
Meanwhile I am considered less credible than a seminary graduate even though I read through the Bible multiple times without even enrolling

Also a large number of seminaries make people sign statements of faith that they agree with the seminaries position on muktiple listed religious claims before graduating and the seminary probably uses people who signed those statements that later proclaim that those statements are correct who have degrees from that seminary as evidence that the seminary is correct on that position
