Okay cool, I get it. You are welcome. I can comment on a very narrow personal experience with the DBL program only. All the other doctorates at...
This is usually the time and tone where I bow out of these threads. Yes, I enjoyed the visits to SA. The DBL program is very clear that you have...
I honestly had no hassles with UNISA, and found the process to earn my doctorate was very well laid out and smooth. You need to go through an...
If you have a really strong handle on what you want to research, then a research doctorate is a good choice. If you want to learn more about a...
In some programs like mine, one of the final gates is external reviews, done by people not directly connected to the school. It's a good QC...
This is very true in my experience. It IS all or nothing, and "nothing" looms as a very real possibility until you are done external reviews and...
Thanks Steve, well said. :)
Well said! It was almost the same for the DBL at UNISA. Tons of work including the big first year paper, and serial defenses of the work in stages...
Hmmm... I did one, but I think I may have lost sight of the question - LOL. :)
Sorry, but I'm done here. My intention was to be helpful and encouraging to someone who seemed pleased to be accepted to the program, not to join...
Sure. Just making the point that anyone can search for the school and see it is a fine, long-established, legitimate university and that my thesis...
Congrats to you. I enjoyed the DBL program and found it fun. Nobody has questioned the school, but I am not trying for a tenure track position or...
I'd go online. You can get enough of the on-campus experience some other time by taking a 12 week night course in your own town and showing up in...
Great question, and good on you for getting a jump on the process. I would say the best thing you can do right now is keep reading, and log...
My outlook has always been to take whatever you have attained, be proud of it, and go where you will be a bigger (i.e. more appreciated) fish in a...
Someone once described their own professional doctorate as "turning practice into theory." It was meant as a self-deprecating joke at the time,...
There are no easy answers to this debate, but it does seem to me that people who get middle-quality doctorates will be happiest if they hang...
What a great perspective! I do consider it to be more remarkable for me to have finished a doctorate without the benefit of having a daily place...
I'm lucky in that I had to go to the UNISA campus in South Africa several times to present my research, so I have the best of both worlds. I can...
Its main use is to edge out the person next to you in line who only has an MBA. Sorry to be blunt, but there it is. It also shows you can do...
