I did a lot of research into different online programs and evaluated Capella as the best of the lot (I used Saaty's (1980) Analytic Hierarchy Process to do this evaluation, so I am confident in the validity of my procedures).
I am ABD in the School of Business and Technology, but am in the data analysis phase now and I hope to complete my dissertation by Thanksgiving. After earning an MBA at the Eller College of Management (a nationally ranked business school) at the University of Arizona, I freely admit that I was a little concerned about the value of an online PhD. However, working full-time and teaching part-time at the University level did not leave me time to attend a traditional brick and mortar institution. Although expensive, the cost of the program is comparable to other institutions. The Capella staff was very helpful during the enrollment process and transferred a maximum of 48 credit hours from my MBA program, which helped me immensely. Once enrolled in the program, I found that, the instructors were always available, and the rigor is definitely there. I spent 20-25 hours a week throughout my course work and maintained a 4.00 GPA in the program. I feel that I earned those marks and did not feel that they were given to me. I found the program difficult, but feasible, given good time management skills. The comps process is all about completing a very difficult task in a timely manner. I felt that the Leadership program prepared me adequately for this challenge and I got through with the help of an expedited plan in eight weeks. My dissertation is taking longer than I originally projected, but that is due to work and other life pressures that interfered with my educational schedule. Capella has nothing to do with it. The staff, my mentor and my committee have been very supportive during my dissertation. In fact, other instructors, who are not in my committee, gave their free time to help me locate a suitable study organization.
