Hi,
Odd question, I know. But I’m looking for public (CHEAP!) post-secondary schools known for their divinity programs. More liberal-oriented ones would be nice. 
Thanks,
Cathy D.
Which country do you want it in?
What kind of degree are you looking for? I’m not aware of any publically funded school that awards a MDiv. I heard from a friend a couple of years ago that the University of Virginia had a religious studies department that was a theology school in all but name, but I don’t know how true that is.
If you want an MDiv from an actual seminary, they aren’t that expensive compared to other graduate degrees, and you can almost always get help from your denomination if you’re going to be ordained. My school charges $389/semester hour, and a MDiv is 90 hours. Classes at the adjoining (private, middle-tier) university are much more expensive.
FTR, you can find a complete list of accredited divinity schools in the US and Canda sorted alphabetically, geographically, or denominationally here.
A divinity school at a public university in the U.S. is pretty much impossible by definition. A divinity school teaches theology according to the doctrine of a given religion and denomination. A public university in the U.S. can’t give that kind of preference to a single religion and denomination. Lots of public universities have religion departments, of course. They teach religion by looking at it in philosophical, sociological, psychological, historical, literary, etc. ways. They may teach about the comparative theology of different religions. They can’t advocate the theology of a single religion, though.
It’s possible that some denominations may allow you to get a graduate degree in religion and then (possibly with some extra courses from one of their divinity schools) allow you to become a minister in their denomination. You would have to ask the particular denomination whether they allow this. Incidentally, are you a high school student looking at undergraduate programs? An undergraduate program at a public university can’t possibly be considered a divinity degree. It’s true that some colleges connected with a given denomination offer undergraduate programs in theology that might, if the denomination allows such things, allow you to become a minister immediately after getting a bachelor’s degree (since they can teach their brand of theology at their university), but that certainly isn’t possible after an undergraduate degree at a public university. Also, there are certainly independent churches that can hire anybody they feel like as their minister, but it’s really unlikely that such churches are going to hire somebody they don’t know with a religion degree from a public university. In any case, my point is that a divinity degree is, in general, a graduate degree, not an undergraduate one.
Ah… I am definitely NOT a high school student. I went back to college and am now finishing up the undergrad degree (it’s taken a LONG time…) I was too tired when I wrote the original question to think that of COURSE a public school isn’t going to offer a master’s of divinity as such. 
I’d still like any information and opinions that anyone could offer about the subject.
Why do you want to go to a divinity school? Are you planning to become a minister in a particular denomination? Have you gone to the board which ordains their ministers and asked them what degrees and divinity schools are acceptable? If you don’t want to become a minister, what do you want to do with your degree? Do you want to teach religion at university level? Then you probably want a Ph.D. in religion, not a degree from a divinity school. (It’s possible that a department of religion might want one person from a particular religion to teach courses in the that religion’s theology, so possibly some people teaching in departments of religion have Ph.D.'s in theology from divinity schools.) If it’s neither of these two, just what do you want to do with this degree?
