Hi I was just notified I was accepted into the Grand Canyon University Ed.D. I hope I have made the right choice. Thoughts people?
Congratulations, I'm sure you will do very well. It's not really that big of a deal to get accepted though, I don't think. If it's like most online schools, it's not that hard to get into. But that doesn't discount your achievement and the fact that you will be bettering yourself and your career. Go for it!
Have you looked at Liberty University's EdD program? It is cheaper than GCU, NCATE-accredited, and is offered by a non-profit Christian university. Just thought you might like the info!
Aw, come on! The man is having a parade and you decided to bring the rain cloud! Among my hundreds of hispanic neighbors, you can walk by their houses to find that they are having a party with tons of food, music, fanfare, shebang-bang and boom-shakalaka. (translated from spanish) Maniac Craniac: WOW! Looks like you are having an awesome party in there! What are you celebrating? Neighbor: What?! Don't you know?! IT'S TUESDAY!!!!
Here's some more parade raining. Grand Canyon University got indirectly involved with a diploma mill as the diploma mill was going through its death throws. It appears it was more of an attempt to increase revenues not really a break down in academic integrity. http://www.cheyenneherald.com/_pdf/2009/August%202009/Grand%20Canyon%20University.pdf
You know when you are in a dark tunnel and you can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel? It's really just a train that is about to smash you. So glad I could share some sunshine. Didn't mean to be a stick in the mud.
This program is on my short list too. I just can't decide. It seems like a decent price for the program. You do have two week long residencies in your second and third year. Wish you luck.....
