Regardless of your present situtation, how many of you eventually hope to earn a doctorate degree? For those who already have a doctorate; please mark YES.
It was a "toss up" between UNISA, Charles Sturt University, the University of Canterbury at Kent and the Union Institute and University. UNISA's doctoral program has a demography specialization. UNISA is also the most affordable of the four ($1,115 U.S.) per year and is GAAP accredited (UNESCO book of International Universities). I submitted my proposal last week. I'm now waiting for comments from my promoters (dissertation advising committee) before I begin writing my first chapter.
Currently enroled at Colorado State in the Industrial Engineering program, about half way done with course work and complted written diagnostic exam (awaiting rsults), have about 4 semesters of course work left (I hope (pray for a heathean ELCAer Unc). And starting bibliography research to start fine tuning research area (industrial process (bulk material handling) simulation and modelling). Hardest part is the math (of 10 courses 2 are math, 4 are statistics, and of the the remaining 4 engineering one is also heavy in statistics (other 3 ar lighter in statistics) - all requiring much calculas which I last studied 30 years ago).
Heh. First Mike hits unk with the LCMS affront, and now the ultimate knockout punch -- the ELCA insult. Heheheheheh.
