South College DBA

[JC39]

Just as an update since I initially asked about speed. I started the program on March 1 and am now waiting on grading to be finalized to pass my 3rd course. I hope to have that completed and my new class loaded for me by Tuesday or Wednesday. Here is a rough timeline for reference.

3/1: Classes start (I took the day off since it was a Saturday, so no work done).

3/2: Started working on the program. Completed the majority of DBA 6505. Waited on some grading.

3/3: Completed DBA 6505 pending final grades. Started DBA 6506.

3/4: Completed majority of DBA 6506. Waiting on grading while I continued working.

3/5: Completed DBA 6506 pending final grading.

3/6: All grades in, passed DBA 6506. Waited a few hours for course to disappear from my portal and then a new one appeared around 6pm local time. Looked at the course but didn't work on it that night.

3/7 to 3/10: Worked on and off on DBA 6525 and as of today have completed all work. Waiting on grading but I'm graded up to Module 4 out of 5 Modules. Still need to submit final papers once grading is complete and then wait a day or two for that to be graded.

So far, the process is very similar to WGU but grading can take longer. My initial plan is 1 to 2 courses a week and after this class if complete that leaves 8 courses including the capstone. At my current rate I hope to be on to the capstone within a few months.

Do you think it’s realistic to finish in one term, or would I really need at least two terms? Also, do you recommend the capstone or the oral option.....which is easier, more ADA-friendly, and can be completed more quickly?
