Anyone with experience or knowledge of this program: http://www.anderson.edu/falls/dba/overview/design.html Highlights: DBA with several specializations. 4 weeks residency per year. $24,000 for entire program.
I looked into this program late last year. It appears that if you are able to transfer in the 30 hours from other graduate level work, the program is $20,625 (assuming 15 hours for dissertation and not counting residency costs). Residencies are 3 weeks per year and the school says that the program is NOT (their emphasis) a Distance Learning program. It looks like a good program...but be sure you recognize that the school was started by the Church of God and tries to "encourage an active approach to the integration of Christian values/faith into the business classroom (quote from: http://www.anderson.edu/falls/dba/index.html). As long as potential students are aware of the Christian aspect of the program it looks like a decent program.
I agree; it is not exactly the same thing, but the lack of face time in the dissertation phase is common even in brick and mortar programs. Dave
I am wondering how brutal the sessions are on campus? My wife will be traveling with me, not sure how much time I will have in the evenings. We have LOTS of friends in that area, and I am a COG-Anderson, PK and used to go to Anderson every summer for the national conference!! I am VERY excited to see this program, I was really looking at other schools, but I have such a HUGE tie to Anderson! Sam
1. Good program. I've looked at it myself a few times. 2. As others have stated the Christian worldview is something that is either a pro or a con depending on your preferences. 3. Accreditation is ACBSP. This is a problem. Not to all though, just be advised.
