Morgan State ABD PhD-Update
#11
I still have some things to submit but the deadline for Fall 2025 was June 1, 2025. My enrollment specialist stated that anything submitted would apply to Fall 2026. Just FYI on a timeline.

At least you'll have plenty of time to get psyched up for it!

Don't do DBA or anything else.  MSU have great programs.

I'm sorry I didn't see your progress earlier - I remember a while ago you were working on your undergrad at UMPI. You've made significant headway since then; already engaged in another PhD? Inspiring! Congratulations so far on your commendable work!

That's my signature, but I should have mentioned that I completed (not fully) Liberty University's PhD in Instructional Technology in 2018 and had a fee dispute with the department because they increased my fee and didn't accepted all the previous Cumberland credits even the evaluation state that i will be exempt for 9 credits.
Hence, I stopped the course when i started writing the literature review and moved on. Should i have completed the remaining 4 courses? I should have ....but paying additional 11K wasn't in my cash plan since i was paying from my own pocket and will continue to pay from own pocket. But that fight with Liberty became very personal.

3 PhD programs and you were already working on your dissertation piece? Incredible! What was your dissertation going to be on back at Liberty?

I am very intersted in this program specifcally the Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Organizational Policy, Governance, and Administration. I decided to reach out to see if my doctoral degree in public safety from Middle Georgia State University qualifies me for ABD status. Has anyone had luck achieving ABD status?

Good luck, but I wouldn't bet on it. Typically, work done to earn a doctorate elsewhere won't be acceptable to be applied to a second degree. On the other hand, everything at this stage is negotiable. Please be sure to report your results!
