Scott,
I wrote to you a few times last spring/summer if you recall. Since I've least written, I have graduated from Kaplan with a BS in paralegal studies. I can't find a job, so I'm considering doing a BS in accounting from Southern New Hampshire, and then possibly a MS in accounting from the University of Connecticut. My ...

My short tenure at Walden University in the Doctor of Business Administration program has almost come to an end. I have submitted the form that withdrawals me from the program. I have spent the last several weeks pondering this decision and I think that I have made the right decision for me.
Walden seems like a great ...

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 ...

We start week 6 in Business Strategy and Innovation today. I feel that I have completely lost focus on this whole doctoral studies thing. I slogged my way through week 5 with no real interest to speak of. I have unwittingly abandoned any structure and time management. As a result, my average in this class has dropped to 89% ...

We are currently in the middle of week 4 in Business Strategy and innovation.
As this class moves forward, we are becoming aware of systems and their ability to find and make order out of chaos. I am recalling times when I witnessed some of these things first-hand in my professional career. In a world in which change and chaos ...

We have written a lot about the benefits of distance education. But something that might get overlooked more often than not is the doors that are opened for people who may have otherwise not been able to fulfill their dreams of earning an advanced degree. People who have a family and a job are the most visible out of the ...

What does the future hold for our libraries? As everything becomes available online in one form or another, the role of the library as we know it is changing. Will the library become obsolete? I think so! It will not happen for many, many years, but we are certainly leaning in that direction. Here is a great article ...

Plowing through another week, we’re talking about “Strategic Intent”. Today marks the start of week three. Our focus is on aligning strategic models with business challenges to create innovative and sustainable solutions. This requires a depth of knowledge in traditional strategic models. At the same time, ...

I thought about quitting this week. But alas, I keep plowing forward. Up until this morning, I seemed to have lost my energy and desire to do this anymore. Do I really care one bit about business innovation and sustainability? Do I care to write one more paper analyzing my experiences and how they relate to other ...

Today marks the beginning of week two in Business Strategy and Innovation. My motivation level seems to be picking up a bit. Perhaps my brain simply turned to jelly after not being challenged for such a long period of time. Who knows? I took the weekend off and made a short road trip to my mother’s house in ...

It’s the day after all of the 9/11 memorials on TV and around the country. Just when I think I am over all of that (to the extent a person who was not directly involved can be “over it”) I see these shows that detail the operations that culminated with the planes crashing into the WTC and Pentagon. Then I get ...

I am getting rusty. Frankly, I am getting pretty bored as well. If you count the time between the end of my last class at Norwich University and now, it is a little over three months. Discounting the introductory/orientation class I had at Walden, one could argue that my mind has not been challenged in over three ...

I almost wanted to throw up yesterday. Yeah, it sounds like “too much information”. But I was so angry and miffed that nausea was the default response to what happened to me. Here is the short version of what happened.
Last week, a very nice recruiter contacted me and did a 30-minute phone screen for a really good ...

One of the underlying themes of my MBA at Norwich and my DBA at Walden is to become a better person. Those programs teach us to embrace our educational achievements, to enhance our roles as managers and leaders, to become a better person all the way around.
I have been thinking a lot about this lately and how it relates to ...

One down and several to go! We have just finished the 8-week “Foundations for Doctoral Business Administration Studies” course. I wanted to pass along a quick review to anyone contemplating attending doctoral classes at Walden in hopes that my experience might be of some value.
My first point is that this ...

Today marks the beginning of the final week in Foundations of Doctoral Studies. The class went by very fast. I am going to set aside a few days to go back over all the material. The class seemed to go by that fast. There was a lot to learn and this week is a wrap-up week where we reflect on what we have learned ...
-
…or more specifically about my reading habits. I received a box in the mail this week which contained the books for my next class, Business Strategy and Innovation. For the second time in my academic career, I have received a “textbook” that I already had on my own personal bookshelf at home. What I am ...

This has been a busy week. I have been prevented from posting as much as I would have liked, but this is a good thing. The job prospects are coming to life! There has been a lot of jobs posted recently that fit my skill set. It seems that they all came along at the same time. So I flooded them with my resume ...

Welcome to August. If my GPA was equal to the temperature here in central Texas, I’d be a Rhoades Scholar who made Steven Hawking look like an amateur. But I digress.
We are beginning week 6 of 8 in Foundations of Doctoral Study. This class has flown by. I can only hope the remaining classes are just as quick. ...

We are about to finish up week 5 in Foundations of Doctoral Studies at Walden. This week we are talking about “sources” for our research. We are supposed to list three or four sources that we like to use when citing information in our work. I listed a few news sources on the web. I also listed Google ...

It has been a good week. As we officially reach the half-way mark in the first class of my doctoral program at Walden, we are diving into some real issues.
After some extensive reading this week, one of our assignments was to answer the following questions:
1. Work-based doctorates are subject to the same assessment and examination ...

My name is Duane and like you I will be pursing a DBA. I enjoyed reading your blog as it gives me an idea of what to look for when I start in September. I notice you put that "research with the student writing and defending a doctoral dissertation or project." I thought with the DBA there will be defending and that it is more a ...
-
It has been a busy week in school for me. We just completed the third week of studies in the foundation course and we are already throwing around ideas about our doctoral project/thesis. I have an idea that has been swimming around in my head for a few years, but I never knew what to do with it. Now that I am in the ...

During the course of my research for the right degree program for me, I found that the Doctor of Business Administration program at Walden focuses on the application of theory rather than on the development of new theory. Being a manager in large corporations for the majority of my career, I felt that earning the D.B.A. would allow me to ...
-
I have been enrolled and taking classes at Walden University for three weeks now. Among the several things that I am enjoying, I must say one of the things at the top of that list is the participation by the instructor. The instructor for our current class, Foundations of Doctoral Studies, is engaging and seems to care about our ...
