VUL introducing new doctorate in May

[ashkir]

I was thinking it'll take some time too, especially since it's a newer program... I would just continue on your path on the Masters before going for any future credentials.

Fully agree. 

If VUL does something similar to their DHA, you will need a total of 90 credits to graduate. Virginia requires this by law to graduate with a doctorate. 

If anyone is holding out on this and already has a Masters consider another program another MA, or even a grad certificate or two. 

The new doctorate will likely be around 36 credits. 54 credits left, an average master's is 36, but some have less (mine was 27 because of my undergrad!). That's still 18, aka 6 more classes or half of another master's or one to two certificates to avoid their "externship".
