The CAGS is 6 classes at a cost of $2200 each but I get a $120 discount as an alumni so its around $12K - 7.5K from my employer so $4.5K out of pocket for me.
The PhD is 20 classes as $2k each so $40k in total. The DBA is 18 classes or $36K in total. Both degrees could require additional dissertation courses at $2k a pop so you really have to be careful at the end.

The doctoral path is a long one, even for a speed demon. It is also expensive. So I don't know if I am going to complete it or not. I can definitely commit to this CAGS though. Its only 6 classes. Once I am done with that I will see if I can transfer those courses into some other PhD or continue at NCU.

Thats a good question. Did someone start on this forum and then finish a doctorate?

Ryoder: are you still working on your PhD at NCU?

Yes. I haven't fully committed to the PhD program yet. I am enrolled in a doctoral certificate program in e-commerce and have finished my first assignment already. Thats the beauty of NCU. You call them up, enroll in a program, and start working right away!
For people like me, it is perfect. You go from sitting around thinking about a graduate degree to actually working on one within about an hour.
