You will learn a lot in each course but I have already applied these skills to my current occupation in a different field. If you feel the program is right for you, go for it do not worry about accreditation honestly. RA vs. NA will always be a thing. If you are worried about accreditation Liberty University offers a DBA with a concentration in healthcare management which they accept NA credits. Up to 50% can be applied towards the degree. I truly think VUL is going to expand and offer more programs in the future especially online so this will create more revenue and bring more students to the school. Who knows maybe that will lead to them applying for RA accreditation (I have heard brief talks with some of my professors about the school seeking it in the future but nothing set in stone yet)
How is the homework load so far? are you having to write 20+ pages a week?
all programs have lots of writing its a doctorate degree, I would advise finding a program that you are interested in and giving it a try. On your previous post I made a suggestion that will best fit your goals.
I would advise going to the University of the Cumberlands and doing the EdD or PhD program in leadership as it fits both your leadership and administration goals plus they are regionally accredited, classes are online (I believe 8 weeks long each), and they have a big student support group on facebook.
It is the writing I don't mind. I don't mind looking at other things. I'm curious of how much you are having to write. I just mind it when it is 200 pages in a single month, lol.
From what I can gather from VUL is it is a few case studies and short analysis of them each day. I work in document retention jobs for the healthcare and government industries so a DHA isn't out of my league.
If you think it works for you give it a try. I am applying to Eastern Virginia Medical School Doctor of Health Science Program next as the program is regionally accredited and will help me advance in my field. VUL DHA program was great and I will finish but I still want to learn more about the field. In the future, my last degree hopefully would be an MPH or a Physician Assistant degree.
