    Not sure if anyone has experience with both or either of these. I have narrowed my search down to these two. They are both around the same cost and from what I can tell both similar reputations. Tech is Global Leadership and more flexible so is my first choice. Bellevue is Human Capital Management. Still something that interestes me greatly but a little more "niche" and is less flexible.

    Both in the 40k range and both regionally B&M schools.

    Thanks for any info.

    Hmm... it depends. What's your goal? What do you want to do that you can't now but believe you could with one of these degrees?

    Talk to officials in each program. Get to know the programs and the people running them. And consider seriously the content of each and the relevance to your career goals and research interests. "Global Leadership" and "Human Capital Management" are widely divergent disciplines. Make that--the selection of what you want to study and research--your first move. You will have then narrowed it from two schools to one and, thus, solved your dilemma.

    Good luck.

    (NB: I have current experience with at least one of the schools mentioned, so I'll refrain from commenting on them specifically.)

    Nothing big, really. I'm not employed by either one, retaining my government job.

    I have to make a decison pretty quick and both are very appealing...

    Just looking for insight from people with experience at either. I have pretty much made my choice, just wanting clarification it is the right one. No need to worry about my goals or why...

    Total number of doctoral degrees granted in 2011-2012:

    Indiana Tech: 2
    Bellevue Univ: 0

    Source: US Dept. of Education's College Navigator website

    With numbers like these, it may be a bit difficult to find doctoral students or graduates from these schools.
    There simply may not be very many of them out there.

    I don't think that the Bellevue program has been around long enough to have any graduates.

    both have their first graduating classes this year...

    Guess we have no current students on here. If so, I will post my experiences.
