Help me choose a Doctoral program

I would lean towards the University of Southern Maine, too. Have you considered the University of the Cumberlands PhD in Leadership Studies? It accepts 18 transfer credits and costs $415 per credit. Classes are 7/8 weeks long each, and textbooks are included. They also have a DBA program, but it costs $549 per credit. Both programs require 66 credits, but you can transfer 18 credits.

The cost is definitely attractive, however, not sure about the quality or reputation of the school.  I've read mixed things on here and the sister forum about it. Some positives and some negatives.  Several people over there who started at this school but didn't finish, as well.
