UCA Ph.D. Change Leadership Update + Facts

[mohelena02]

Update here!

I am just about to finish my 3rd semester in this program, giving me a total of 8 classes completed so far, 13 classes still left to take. I have been taking 3 classes per semester for the past two semesters and I have adjusted to the pace. The pace has been pretty much the same for all classes, one assignment due per week with about two large assignments per class in total. Meetings on zoom every few weeks where you get to interact with the instructors.

A lof of the students in this program are based in Arkansas, and there is quite a few UCA faculty in this program too. The administration is very high quality, the program director Dr. Cotabish is very responsive and helpful, she also teaches a few classes, her classes are my favorite.

As I had mentioned, the quality of interaction I am having at UCA far surpasses what I experienced at TAMUC or WGU. I truly feel like I am a part of a cohort. Again, I am not saying that in a disparaging way to my other schools, just comparing the difference, those schools allowed me to get into this program.

It seems like the program has been successful for UCA and as I mentioned they are expanding it. No price hikes have been announced this year. I am doing the program as fast as possible at this stage (3 classes per semester) as they do not allow you to take more, there are only 3 semesters per year.

Personally, for me, I am very happy I chose this program instead of the South College DBA I was also looking at, this program is a better fit for me.

Let me know if there are any questions!
