Thinking about Doctorate
#8
(11-21-2024, 09:43 PM)Cocolisa1 Wrote: Hello everyone, I am currently enrolled in WGU Master of Public Health and will be finishing up soon. I don't have a job in the field yet and I am working on finding a job at the moment. I haven't been in the work field in years but have been taking certification classes/certificate classes. I am disabled (Severe controlled RA) Anyways, I have applied to internships via WGU and also just waiting for responses. I just want to know if there's a possibility of me enrolling in a PhD program seeing my lack of job history (seems experience in some programs are needed)  and where would a good program be online. I prefer a ABD and online. I'm using financial aid, and located in NYC.

Hi there: If you're open to other doctorates besides a Ph.D., here are some suggestions to look into:
Oklahoma State University, Doctor of Health Administration (DHA)* This is a cheap program from a great college. For instance, they have a DBA program that runs $129,000 but you can get a DHA for $23,000!
Central Michigan University DHA
Samford University, Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) or Doctor of Education (Ed.D) in Educational and Organizational Leadership
A. T. Still University, Doctor of Health Sciences (DHSc), DHA or Ed.D. *This school is great and has a lot of flexibility. For instance, if you need it for any reason, you can take up to two blocks (a full semester off) without having to reapply for admission. You just pick up where you left off. 
*This is the college I am enrolled in for the DHSc.
 
Many online programs have an Applied Research Project, which approaches a dissertation a bit differently. You're still doing the research and writing but it's not like you will get to the end and be denied your doctorate for any reason.
