Doctorates that aren't ridiculously writing heavy

[newdegree]

It's intriguing how schools vary so much here.

I did contact a CMI provider about the level 8s and it'd cost me around $5000 to do a CMI Level 8 diploma. But, they don't award a DBA, PHD, etc with it. It is about eight classes with CMI.

I may stick iwth VUL even though it is healthcare, because, it does have a lot of administration focus.

I would advise going to the University of the Cumberlands and doing the EdD or PhD program in leadership as it fits both your leadership and administration goals plus they are regionally accredited, classes are online (I believe 8 weeks long each), and they have a big student support group on facebook.

This is closest to what I want. I emailed Sussex to get more information last night. I'll contact Brighton. 

I'm trying to figure out how the Level 8 works. Do you get a "Doctorate" degree with it or just level 8 clearance in some government database only good in the UK? I know some of the levels have university partners so this is what I'm looking for.

Those are maximums, not minimums.

They're also for the PhD. Taught degrees usually require shorter dissertations.

Do you get a "Doctorate" degree with it 

No.
You get a doctorate by doing a doctorate, not because of its level.

Thanks, that helped me a lot.
