Capella PhD????

Mike Mc,

There appears to be a need to narrow the possiblities leading to your making a decision as to which school meets the majority of your criteria. Hanging too long in abeyance is no fun and the realization that each distance learing institution will have its positive aspects and disadvantages necessitates gathering your data and making an informed choice. It may also be helpful to consider that in addition to the extrinsic benefits of obtaining a doctorate there are also the intrinsic ones including the satisfaction and esteem that derives from this achievement.

The other question all of us must ask when considering a doctorate is our level of readiness to make the committment to such an arduous task with its concommitant sacrifices.

Whatever your decision, the best of luck to you!
