Level 8 Diploma + PhD as ABD at Marywood U

[mdn]

I plan to take this one, as it has two courses of research methods (60 UK credits = 12 US credits?) 
Research methods should be easy to transfer in, the other courses not sure

I plan to do UK level 8 diploma also, I do not know what will be better in the future, but OTHM has a little bit less level 8 courses. I thought before that Qualifi is better as there are more level 8 courses, but I think now that 60 UK credits level 8 courses definitely should be better than 20 UK credits level 7 (for research).

OTHM:
8 20 Developing Strategic Management and Leadership Potential
8 20 Managing Strategic Change
8 20 Project Development, Planning and Management
8 40 Advanced Research Design and Methodologies
8 20 Developing Research Capability

+ 3 * 20 level 7 courses
= 120 lvl 8 + 60 lvl 7

Qualifi:
8 20 Leadership Qualities and Practice
8 20 Personal Leadership Development as a Strategic Manager
8 20 Strategy Development in Cross Border and Global Organisations
8 20 Strategic Planning in Cross Border and Global Organisations
8 20 Strategic Direction in Cross Border and Global Organisations
8 20 Strategic Communication
8 20 Culture and its Impact on Strategy
7 20 Research Methods

= 140 lvl 8 + 20 lvl 7
