NCAT PhD in Leadership

[SteveFoerster]

The University of the Cumberlands offers as PhD in Leadership Studies (an RA, brick and mortar, non-profit) with an array of 18 c/h specializations, which you can either finish at the school, or transfer in via a second masters or doctoral degree/credit (other than the credential used for qualifying for entrance to the doctoral program). I believe tuition in $325 per credit hour, and the program is offered online.

Cumberlands religious positions are legitimate problems for some people, problems they wouldn’t encounter with a state school.

That's true, it's an unabashedly conservative Baptist institution. At the same time, though, there is zero religious content actually in the program and they're pretty welcoming.

Cumberlands is definitely on my list. I'm trying to find the other jewels out there.

I did my coursework at Cumberlands and like them a lot. They're especially a good choice for someone who has two Master's degrees or an EdS or who otherwise have "extra" graduate credit to transfer in as a specialization.

But I dragged my heels so long during the dissertation phase that when I was ready to go back I qualified for ABD completion programs, and decided on the one at Baker College. The people at Baker College are approachable and supportive, and the school isn't terribly priced, so you might look at them as well: https://www.baker.edu/academics/graduate...ration-dba
