WWU DBA Journey

[withrown]

I didn't see your previous posts, so I'm curious what led you to select WWU for your DBA. Was there anything particular about this university versus others that attracted you?

It came down to time of completion for me. OSU has an online phd in leisure studies but its kinesiology focused and my advisor at UA recommended against it. WWU's DBA and Iowa state's PhD in Hospitality management both give generous allowances for masters level transfer credit. I applied too late for a Fall spot at Iowa State. Also, TBH I was worried about a traditional dissertation essentially solo while teaching fulltime. Generally in the "dissertation for publication" models like WWU that I've seen its shorter form work since it's for journal publication. Although since the program is undergoing changes who knows what they may throw my way.

It's probably just the ADHD in me but could'nt see myself posting in discussion boards (and replying to at least two of my classmates) for the next 3 years!
