Thought I would share an update. I decided that I wanted the Doctorate for professional (and perhaps personal) reasons. Since I was close. So I found a new chair. started to move forward. The I foolishly did not realize to financial commitment I was making. Mandatory retaking of a course to get the Chair comfortable, Mandatory additional residency which was a repeat of the previous one, that is, no discipline related learning occurred. University will only review dissertation while I am actively in Class. So more repeat classes, although I did learn a few things. Now, as I am about to submit my revised dissertation, the chair resign from my committee, and the Board will not accept a paper where there is no chair. The instructions are to get a new chair, wait a month then enroll in a redundant class (at full tuition of course), submit paper, re-enroll in non-learning residency. The bad news is that folks I have reached out to tell me that is should expect to be in limbo like this for two more rounds of tuition . I think Phoenix has beaten me. ZeChocMoose, I should have listened

I have been working on my Doctor of Education /Educational Leadership/ Curriculum through a large online program. My committee has been assembled, My subject matter approved and a few chapters / detailed outline have been distributed. However, my committee chair has severed their relationship with the school. While finding a replacement chair, legislation has been issued that might unravel the quantitative portion of my study, causing to make me rethink my path. Now, the replacement Chair has been incapacitated and will not be able to serve. I am thinking that I might want to change schools so that I might either (a) get the right advisor/chair to work with me, and/or change the specialization area/topic. Here are my restraints: I am 50ish with a full time great job in my chosen field in Healthcare that I am not willing to leave. I live in the middle of nowhere, so online is the way to go. Is this possible without having to redo the coursework which is 95% finished. jarwiz
