PhD or DBA, No GRE/GMAT

[shawn]

Hi I am a long time lurker, first time poster. This site is a treasure trove of information and I essentially owe a part of my success in obtaining my BSBA and MBA to the information contained here. That being said I am hoping that you guys (and gals) will be able to help me out once more.

I am looking for a DBA or PhD program in Business Administration. As this will greatly boost my standing in my current career.

A few details:

Regional accreditation is a must, non-profit is a bonus/preference.

No GRE or GMAT, I work full-time and I want to devote my time to studying for my courses not entrance exams.

Online mostly, I can do week long residencies here or there. However, I cannot do a full on campus program. Do not mind traveling for the residencies.



Schools I am currently looking at, any input on these is welcome:

California Southern University

Liberty University

Argosy University

Kennesaw State University



Staying away from these two. I have heard to many bad reviews. I do not necessary put stock in bad reviews but when they repeat the same problems over and over again, I start to question the schools integrity. I see my PhD (or DBA) as my final step along my path, for that reason I do not want to chance it:

Capella University

Walden University
