Virginia University of Lynchburg Accreditation on Warning

[Jonathan Whatley]

Outside of the licensed health professions that are transitioning from the master's or bachelor's degree to the doctorate, there are NOT many 1-year or 18-month doctorates. They're so rare, I've created threads on just about all of them.

True!

With that said, VUL's program technically isn't a 1-year or 18-month doctorate; it is a bizarre doctorate that expects people to have the equivalent of two master's degrees. If you don't have those excess credits, then the DHA is not one year.

Huh. It's disappointing that VUL's main DHA page describes the program as "12 months-beginning to completion" without stating there that the 12 months assumes all this extra prior graduate credit.
