    Does anyone know of a reasonably priced regionally
    accredited fully online doctoral program with no GRE/gmat/mat exams that is in the field of organizational Leadership? Help! Not interested in a residency either.November more than $500 per credit hours for tuition and no overseas schools please.:unitedstates::unitedstates::aargh4::paranoid:

    Well, if you qualify for an exemption from the GRE/MAT then the University of the Cumberlands PhD in Leadership meets your other criteria.

    Do you have any preference on type of degree? A lot of the org leadership degrees that you'll find are Doctors of Education. And then on top of that, a lot of them end up being focused on Educational Leadership.

    Some of the more interdisciplinary ones I've seen are from:

    Creighton University
    University of Southern California
    Xavier University

    As Ed.D's, most of these degrees will complete faster than a traditional Ph.D as well. All of these are at least decently named schools, and I believe all allow you to bypass the GRE. Unfortunately, if you truly want something inexpensive, the aforementioned University of the Cumberlands is probably the best fit. However, that degree is a Doctor of Philosophy - so a slightly different approach, and usually a longer fuse.

    The Xavier program is not available online.

    There are a lot of online doctorates in organizational leadership but they are almost all more than $500/credit.

    American College of Education offers an Ed.D. in Leadership for $306/credit (x64 credits.)

    No University of the Cumberlands

    I am not interested in that school. Are there any other suggestions for a suitable school.

    Breyer State University is highly respectable with a prestigious reputation in the degree mill higher educational institutions. You cannot go wrong with Breyer State University unless you use its degree as a credential.

    Maybe you should do your own research since you're so picky. Better yet, why not create your own university and doctoral program?!

    OK, that's a little harsh but maybe it's also a signal that we've about reached the end of the list of programs that meet the specified criteria.:scratchchin:

    A common practice but not often by people seeking PhDs.

    It was a little harsh. But then, when you summarily reject without explanation a school that may be the only one that meets your exacting criteria, don't be surprised when people stop spending their time looking for schools for you.

    Yes, that's where it started. The school is in Panama now. I think Breyer State was started on a Native Reservation in Idaho. Moved to Alabama. Back to Idaho, but not on the Reservation. Thence to California and for the past several years - Panama. From the current website: "We are localed in Avenida Perez Chitre Panama."

    Doesn't matter, I guess. OP says she won't be going there.

    True that, as there's no "there" to which one can go. No education there, either, as it's a full blown mill.

    Yes -- but we all knew that...didn't we? :smile: And by "going there," I meant simply attending, or getting a degree from the school by any means - online, mailing a cheque, Western Union or any other activity that could constitute real or virtual "attendance."

    Just so we're clear - I've followed the activity (and moves) of Breyer State (and many others) for about 12 years.

    Two programs come to mind that may meet your criteria - they both have religious affiliations but the tuition is probably the lowest you'll find for an online doctoral program from a B&M school.

    Southeastern University -http://http://www.seu.edu/academics/programs/doctor-of-education/ (tuition 500)
    Johnson University - http://https://www.johnsonu.edu/Online/Programs/Graduate/Leadership-Studies-(Ph-D-).aspx (tuition 575)

    There's also Arizona State - http://https://asuonline.asu.edu/online-degree-programs/graduate/edd-leadership-and-innovation (tuition 695 - it is a bit more but still relatively inexpensive for a tier 1 institution)

    Without making it a big deal I'd like to disagree with this. Specifically, with the idea that ASU is a Tier 1 university. Clearly there is no universally accepted definition of what constitutes a Tier 1 school or how many schools are in that Tier 1 category. Once upon a time Tier 1 meant the top 50 schools in the country. In my opinion ASU clearly misses the cut for that elite category. Even if you expand it to the top 100 it might miss but then you have to be very clear about your inclusion/exclusion criteria. If you drop it to the top 200 schools then you are saying that ASU and 199 other schools belong in the same category as Stanford, MIT, Harvard, etc. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say anything bad about ASU. It's just fine and they offer a lot of nice online programs. The price is high. I just don't think they belong in that top tier with those other elite schools.
