Alvernia University - ABD Ph.D. in Leadership

[newdegree]

Interesting, but my question would be where would one get 42 doctoral credits to transfer in that are cheap and will be accepted to lower their total cost, if it is a full-fleged accredited doctoral program,, why not finish that program anyways?

Some people have an abundance of doctoral-level credits from programs they did not finish, and others made it to the all but dissertation phase of their programs but never completed them, leaving them with a lot of credits but no degree. In addition, many people complete other doctoral programs, such as DBA, EdD, DHA, DPA, Etc. But may want a complete Ph.D. Many of those degrees do not require a dissertation but rather a capstone, practicum, or other final project, leaving a gap in their academic resumes if they wish to teach, because some universities require a dissertation or a PhD degree as a hiring requirement. This program allows them to pursue a Ph.D. at a fraction of the cost and saves a lot of time, as they only have to complete six courses tailored to writing a dissertation.
