Nova Southern's ABD Completion Ed.D.

Idk if this has been discussed before. However, I tend to see people looking for ABD completion options.

For everyone's information, the title of the thread should have been about Nova Southeastern, not "Nova Southern" Great post, though.

On another note, that there is a market for it says a lot about doctoral programs: their admissions, support, preparation for research, and guidance are all suspect when we see the ABD phenomenon.

Should earning a doctorate be difficult? I think so. (Kind of unfair for me to say it, though.) But there shouldn't be so many failures that there is an after-market for them.

Either schools are admitting unqualified candidates, they're not preparing them for doctoral research, they're not supervising them effectively, they're not supporting them sufficiently, and/or they're not assessing them correctly.

I don't care which of these factors you want to blame--or even all of them--but any system that creates so many failures as this one is deeply flawed.

 

My bad. Thanks for pointing this out
