I haven't seen anyone graduate yet. It will take a minimum of a year. For most people it will take more than a year. It's a lot of writing and researching. It's a very small program. I am on the FB group as well and it's never been very chatty. Probably busy researching and writing in their free time.
I'll chime in here since I'm in the program (and since I've been in stealth mode on this forum for months now, and it's time to make a post).
The first DBA graduate was last month, and was announced on the South CBE FB group (there are two FB groups, "official" and "unofficial"). The official group is used by the South CBE faculty to post program updates, make announcements, etc., and the unofficial group is pretty much dead.
The program is interesting. The CBE approach is different than that of WGU. Just as with WGU, I have no idea how other students are doing or if they are still enrolled other than hearing chatter in the FB group or gleaning information from my mentor.
I did want to add (regarding tuition) if you work in higher education, there is a $1000 per term discount, at least as of the start of the July-Dec term. There are no other discounts I am aware of (I asked).
