DBA or EdD cheap RA/NA

[SteveFoerster]

Since your MBA is NA, you would have a hard time trying to get into RA Doctorate programs, as most will require RA Masters for entry.  Having said that, there are plenty of DEAC/TRACS doctoral programs available.  You may get into RA programs with less selective entry or on a case by case basis...  Create a shortlist and we'll help you decide to breaking that down to your top 3 choices, 2 to go for, 1 for back up.

Moreover, given that the distinction between RA and NA stopped existing officially six years ago now, if one is particularly interested in a school accredited by a former regional accreditor, and runs into resistance for this reason, then one can and should push back hard. Often these sorts of policies stay in place simply because of inertia, and school that are faced with a needless loss of revenue from a prospective paying student may revise them given a reason.

You don't ask, you don't get.
