Today may be a turning point in my educational journey.
I spent most of the day yesterday contemplating my educational future. I firmly believe that I am not done with my education, but I am beginning to rethink my decision to pursue a doctorate degree. I am not sure what advantages it will have in the long term and I am just not sure it is what I want to do. Not to mention that two years is a long time doing something you don’t want to be doing in the first place. At this point, I am actually considering (very seriously) enrolling in the Masters of Arts in Organizational Leadership at Gonzaga University.
From the Gonzaga web page: “The Masters in Organizational Leadership is an interdisciplinary, online leadership degree that combines cutting-edge research from the social sciences, communication field, arts, humanities, and business, into a transformative leadership masters.” This looks to be a well rounded degree program that I would absolutely love. I really dig leadership concepts and in recent years, I have embraced the humanities and other subjects that should be included in every degree program, in my opinion.
I am going to call Gonzaga today as a matter of fact and see how easy it will be to get in. If that task is no more difficult than getting into Norwich or Walden, I may look to withdrawal from Walden this week. I have looked at the curriculum that is staring me in the face at Walden and I just do not have the fire that I usually exhibit when it comes to my education. It does not excite me. Therefore my desire to push forward is dwindling quickly. I think I would get a lot more from the Gonzaga program. More on this as it develops.
