    Did the University of Phoenix ever offer a Ph.D. program?

    I came across this interview with Jamaica's richest woman, who lists Ph.D. on her LinkedIn. However, the articles I read about her only state a doctorate in management and organizational leadership. I am assuming it's the DM program?!

    I am more interested in the CFA post-nominal letters she has listed on her LinkedIn. I looked her up on the CFA institute website and didn’t see anybody with the same or a similar name who currently holds a CFA charter.

    Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying you should list a PhD when you more likely than not have a DMan or DBA, but that is a decidedly smaller error than potentially inventing a high level qualification in finance in my opinion.

    Honestly, who knows. She state that a

    I have seen lot of people doing this, saying they have a Ph.D. in their LinkedIn profile; but they have a DM, DBA, DSc, DEng, etc.
