will launch a fully online Doctor of Professional Studies (DPS) in Creativity and Change Leadership in Fall 2026. Synchronous courses, 72 semester hours. The

Hmm, I wonder if the pricing would be similar to the ones in the UK, Doctor of Professional Studies is somewhat common like the DBA for those in the UK (DProf I believe that's what they name them)...

Why would a SUNY school have tuition be similar to programs in the UK?
The program is pending approval from the New York State Board of Regents and the governor. I will have to follow along to for more info once it's approved.

For comparison and for costs purposes (and maybe other variables), some people may want to investigate institutions outside of the US, an example would be the UK... If you can find comparable institutions that offer the same degree with similar classes offered, cost, ease, speed and course content, subject matter taught, etc, would be various variables I would look at...

Looks like a fascinating idea. Looking forward to seeing the structure.
I wonder what is the theoretical basis for studying creativity?
