Is a DNP to PhD program the best path ? - xspect - 10-30-2022
I'm interested in getting a Ph.D. solely for personal purposes. I'm currently finishing up a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). Thanks to Degree Info and Degree forum - I have a master's in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, MBS, and an MSN. Liberty's Ph.D. program looks tempting. I just learned there are DNP to Ph.D. programs.
I wanted to know my background's best and most affordable options for getting a Ph.D.
Oh Yeah. I don't want to teach. I'm self-employed and have no thoughts of ever working for the "man" again. I'm only interested in CONUS schools. That has a "decent" reputation.
Excuse my grammar. I went to public school in Louisiana.

Yes, definitely go for it! The Ph.D. is the most recognized research doctorate. I don't have the stats handy, but I believe 90% of all research doctorates that are awarded are Ph.D.'s.

But which school/programs.

Why not Liberty? Or maybe if you have an interest in doing research relating to the underserved - Ph.D. in Human Services at UAGC? UAGC has another Ph.D. program as well, and U of A is a big-name school.
