Things may have changed some since the first and second cohort. It honestly surprised me to see the leftist SJW bent on the student facebook support pages, but in the long-run it doesn't really matter as I am simply summarizing my outsiders opinion, and my opinion on this matter is relatively unimportant to anyone else but me. I have seen this school progress since initially offering this program in 2020-2021 and the program and school is designed to serve historically vulnerable population groups. The proliferation of DHA degrees is making the healthcare administration job market god awful, and unless you have a clinical degree to go along with it or are well positioned in a healthcare job already with experience then a DHA degree is a big risk.
These DHA programs love talking about, teaching, and the idea of serving vulnerable population groups and addressing health inequity issues, so it is not surprising. In the search for higher education and degrees I personally prefer more politically neutral professors and programs that can explore leftist and rightist ideas and concepts in the literature and application in the areas of healthcare access, funding, addressing inequities, etc. because these are real problems that need real solutions otherwise they become an ineffective money pit for society.
If you go through Linkedin and look at the job titles and experience for VUL DHA grads, OSU DHA grads, MUSC DHA grads, Walden DHA grads, etc. there is seems to be a trend of VUL DHA grads getting stuck in their current roles with little upward mobility or trapped not getting an applicable high level job within a healthcare organization because the healthcare administration job market is generally apocalyptic for people working in the wrong types of healthcare organizations without experience before getting this degree or not having a clinical degree to boost up their chances of getting promoted to a great HA job. If you need a DHA degree just for fun it really doesn't matter what school you goto or the political leanings there-in, but if you need to have get this degree just understand that where you go and how you network and where you already work at is important to maximize the utility of a DHA degree.
