I have a double PhD in theoretical quatum blog commenting from the University of Phoenix. (Dissertation on the functional methodology of positing grammatical structures onto top and bottom quarks through calabi-yau space and the dissemenation of thought wave-forms via brane-hole posting.)
From BYU to Harvard should arouse instant suspicion.

Not really. Those Mormons are crazy smart and all about worldly success. My Ph.D. program was full of them.
They have a similar ethos to Opus Dei.

I don't know about crazy smart, but no sex, no drinking, and no smoking are three pretty good prereqs for good grades. And a fairly stunted worldview.

I just thought that a degree from a non-accredited university might be a barrier to gaining interest to harvard. But I could be wrong.

BYU is non-accredited?

Maybe I'm thinking of Bob Jones University.

Or being at Harvard may be a barrier to speaking at BYU (scroll down to paragraph beginning "since its adoption in 1992").
