Hello Forum Wow...what a whirlwind life has been over the last six months. I, sadly to admit, am a got-sent-to-Korea-family-changed-forever story. All the boo-hoos were in November 2004 and I am finally ready to get on with life. Recently, I contacted NCU about admission to their EdD program with a Touro MBA. An admissions advisor informed me that admission would be granted with that degree with possibly three leveling courses needed. Here is my question - does the board feel there is utility in NCU degrees? I am a former pastor, now in healthcare, who is looking to align those interests and possibly enter a teaching role in the future. I love public speaking and have given alot of thought to corporate training, and the like. Any advice is welcome. Kind regards, Steven King
I suggest that you perform a search. There was a very informative and lengthy thread on the utility of an NCU doctorate not too long ago.
