South College DBA
#11
I'm sure that SACSCOC doesn't want to hear that students are completing nine doctoral-level courses in one term. High turnover is common at for-profit colleges. Based on their many job openings in relation to their size, they appear to be highly dependent upon adjuncts. That usually makes the dissertation process a nightmare for the students because adjuncts quit all the time.

I don't know how South College allocates its faculty, but in my opinion, only permanent faculty members should be involved in the dissertation process. I've come across at least two state universities that operate this way, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were the norm among traditional universities. Only tenure-track professors were allowed to be committee members.

After a bit of a hitch with the technology, South College IT was able to set me up with access to the Canvas, Email and student portal. The back and forth on the original set up not being emailed to my non-South email address, and also not working properly, was a bit of an annoyance. It reminded me why in 2017 I signed up for a Cert course and withdrew, due to frustration with their IT issues. So far they've been much more responsive, and I gave myself a few months buffer before beginning.

I completed the first nine classes in the first term, and my dissertation is going into month 5, with about 3 of the months just waiting for grading/feedback. I wish you luck.

I was part of the unofficial South College CBE Facebook group for a time when I was considering this program, and some students commented that they were on their second, third, and even fourth professors for the same DBA class because of the professor exodus. Alone that wasn't what made me choose a different program than South DBA, but it certainly gave me pause.

One of the resigning professors also told me that their accreditation was going for review early because of several complaints that they were not meeting the standards set by SACSCOC. She said that based on what she knows and how they set the courses up, they were not up to standard, and she expects them to lose it for the CBE doctorate programs. Now, she was pretty pissed at South management for some shadiness they did, so that could have been a tall tale. I only want to be done with them and never look back.

 hey just curious , did you get to complete your program?

I think best a call or something, I don't think in public is best path, for reasons
