$15000 Doctorate NA

[newdegree]

I just wanted to announce that I finished the DHA program today at VUL. What a great experience I had with the instructors, my cohorts, the assignments, and the various courses we took. I personally learned a lot and had my own struggles I had to figure out between getting assignments to the instructors liking to learning to brand new things I had no prior knowledge of as I am not in the healthcare field. There were some nights I felt stressed, called out of work some days, missed out on vacations, missed out on parties and social gathers, devoted my weekends to working on school work and zoom meetings, and I was still able to balance this program while working on my MBA over at Hellenic American University (just taking one course per 7-week term) and working a full-time job (I wouldn't advise anyone to do the same as it was not easy trust me). If I had to do it all over again and select another program as my first doctorate or only doctorate I would pick VUL as it is a hidden gem and from what I am hearing they have a new doctorate program coming in leadership. Overall I am very pleased and I plan on continuing my schooling as I am applying to a Doctor in Public Health and a Doctor of Health Science program to see where I get in. I can officially call myself a doctorate holder but the journey does not end there. I hope in the future VUL applies for Regional Accreditation to add more value to their degrees. Only time will tell but for now, my degree is going to be used for military and federal employment purposes which NA degrees are accepted.

Congratulations!!!!! I'm starting in January for myself as part of the January 2022 cohort! I saw your post in the Facebook group! Congratulations! I don't intend on doing anything else besides work while doing this DHA. 

I just checked the syllabus for the first two classes, compared to my Master's it seems like a peace of cake. I'm really curious how the externship will work out for me as that's the only thing that makes me nervous. 

Congratulations, Dr.

I wouldn't say it would be a piece of cake trust me it's hard than it looks the courses. The instructors are very picky and you will realize your third semester everything hits the fan as workloads become crazy and short timelines. The externship will be done the third semester which is basically a full-time job itself I have no clue how any working professional got it done unless they used their job for the externship with approval from the instructor and dean.
