NCAT PhD in Leadership

[sanantone]

For a leadership degree, I think one should get the cheapest degree one can find since these degrees are typically check-the-box degrees. If your goal is teaching, you might have to rely on your master's degree to show field expertise, but the PhD will give you the terminal degree they're looking for. This is common in fields in which doctoral degrees are currently uncommon. For example, one of my security studies professors had a PhD in leadership, but he had master's degrees and professional experience that were related to the field. It's rare for a person to have a doctoral degree in security studies because those types of programs are rare.
