My Grad School Thoughts - Masters/PHD

[RANSOMSOUL]

I agree with both of you -- to a point. I don't necessarily think a doctorate should be fast, but I would like to see a reasonably inexpensive program.

When I look at moving forward with one the many doctoral programs, the ranking factors shake out like this:
 
Key - I want a program to assist with personal growth and allow me to bring value back to the market because of it.

Cost - Value, Bargain, Cheap sounds like a perfect trifecta

Time - 2 years seems close to impossible minus some selective EdD and possibly UNISA's DBL. 3 & 4-year programs seem like a more realistic option for select programs.
