Welcome to the "Earning My Doctorate Online" Blog

Good day to all!

This is my first post to my new blog, “Earning My Doctorate Online”.  I just started my Doctor of Business administration program at Walden University.  So far, I am very pleased with the experience.  If you are interested in this experience and want to learn from what I have been exposed to thus far, please check back on this blog frequently.  There will be several posts coming up.  I will post every couple of days so that people have time to read and catch up with me.  Some of the topics I will be covering include:

What influenced my decision to go with the Doctor of Business Administration program

Why I picked Walden University over other schools that offer similar programs

What my course load looks like and what classes were waived

Initial thoughts about the course delivery system at Walden Univeristy

And more …

So stay tuned!  I am looking forward to sharing my thoughts and experiences with you.  From what I understand, only 2% of Americans have Doctoral degrees.  I am anxious to join that elite crowd.  I have also received my first “fan mail” about the new program and I will post that letter and my response in the coming days.

I want to thank the staff at eLearners for allowing me to write about my experiences here for everyone to read.  I will try to make it as interesting as possible.  I hope that others can learn from my experiences as well.

As I write this, I am already behind in the course work to some extent.  I am not “officially” behind, but I am a couple of days later than I like to be.  We are required to make our first post to the message boards by the third day of the week.  I will meet that deadline, but will have to focus on working more studiously in the coming weeks.

More later!

Wow! Congrats on your program!  Hopefully next summer, I will join you in entering the doctorate program!  That is an interesting fact that only 2% of Americans have doctorates.  I want to be in that number for sure.  I will be reading and hoping to grab some tips from you also.  Best wishes!
