I am a College Professor looking to complete my PhD in Communications or Business. I currently have an AACSB MBA from a U.S. school. I would like to continue teaching at the University level. I like my current school but do not want to close too many doors for myself in Canada and the USA in terms of employment.
I am seeking an online program. Hopefully no more than $50,000. I have short-listed the University of Leicester and Liberty University.
I love the completely online option at Liberty and the format of it’s PhD programs. It is also non-profit and regionally accredited. No too thrilled about the religious and political side of this school, but as a distance learner I think I can tune that out.
I like that Leicester also seems well organized with more deadlines, assignments, class interaction, etc, than some other UK schools, like Heriot-Watt, seem to offer. It does, however, require at least 2 campus visits.
Which school would you go with? Which would be better for someone living in North America. I am not seeking tenure at a tier 1 school as I prefer to focus on teaching, not researching, after my PhD is complete.
Thank you for any feedback or guidance you might be able offer. I keep going around in circles with my decision!
