Great stuff, it's a bit better with a tad more details than the previous post, but missing really important info to help you... Recap: Is there no way of completing the program a National University since they're technically the same degree but merged with their parent university? Did you ask them to see what they say about what the requirements are for finishing? I would search the board and sister board for reviews of any ABD programs that have been mentioned...
Actually, the main thing I wanted to know really wasn't the credits, since we don't know if it will transfer or not, it's the tuition amounts you can afford or not. Without having a range, it's like saying I want a coffee, but it can't be too cheap or too expensive. Your ABD programs are plentiful, you just need to find the one or two you really like and have a backup third option. Here's an example, the cost is virtually identical to when I posted 3 years ago: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ars-18-650
I have already talked to National University. They drag their dissertation out. The cost to complete the dissertation alone for me and where I am at would be $45,000. That does not include the cost of 45 credits worth of classes I already completed. It is a very expensive school. I could virtually start over somewhere else for the price of the dissertation only. Right now I am weighing if I would be okay with all but dissertation status. I have taught college before and I am not sure if it is something I want to do. I guess it would be for personal fulfillment. Thanks for responding.
