VUL introducing new doctorate in May

[sanantone]

VUL's communication is terrible. Is is getting better, but, how bad they are shouldn't be acceptable. The professors (minus Hampton) are pretty on point. I however didn't have as many communication issues as a previous cohort. the popularity of the DHA program definitely overwhelmed VUL. VUL is getting better at this, and started construction on their campus again, etc.

I don't regret spending $15,000 on them.

Also on this note, I had worse communication from South College... Seriously! My ex-boyfriend has been waiting for a response from UMPI for 1.5 months now, and follows up every 3 days. communication issues aren't unique.

If someone is seeking just a doctorate in health leadership without any health policy, finance, or technology coursework then VUL has a solid program. However, for early careerists, I would advise exploring other offerings now in health administration (Tulane's DrPH or Oklahoma State's DHA are prime examples of good quality programs). Yes, the short 1-year timeline and current cost of $18K makes the program attractive. As a graduate sadly feel I have no connection now with the university going forward. I'm still hopeful this can be repaired and I'm still willing to help (I earlier sent the school information about internships that my company was offering, but not to my surprise it went on deaf ears).  There is much work that needs to be done at VUL and future students should be aware of the issues.

I'm excited to hear back from anyone who tries the OSU program. If you can bring in 30 transfer credits, you can finish the program in one year. I believe OSU allows a maximum of 12 credits for fall and spring. I don't know what their limit is for summer, but you'd only need to take six credits in the summer if you take 12 credits during the other semesters.
