But I have some questions about this: they require 60 credit hours at an expected pace of 6 credits per term, but is it possible to fast-track your degree there if you complete your dissertation or three articles within your first 2-3 semesters? Anyone know how they work this out?
I also asked their admissions counselor/advisor based on hearing on the other degree forum that they allow 42 transfer credits, but she advised me that this only applies to credits from a (presumably unfinished) doctorate, not from a Master's degree. This part somewhat frustrated me as I am applying with two Master's and a Graduate Certificate in a closely related field (I was told the Graduate Certificate credits wouldn't transfer).
What have experiences here been with Capitol Technology University in this regard?
Neither Cap Tech or Liberty would accept any Masters level courses for transfer when I looked into them. I was hoping for entry to the doctorate programs.
