Liberty University PhD

[wescpr]

I was wondering what do people think of Liberty University in the policy world? Would this be a good school to get a PhD in Public Policy? And does anyone have experience with their public policy grad programs? Here's a link to their program: https://www.liberty.edu/online/government/doctoral/public-policy/

In short, very low ranked and has an even lower reputation within academia. I would consider almost any other school....

Ok, that's what I assumed. Thanks for the information.

From my perspective the first level of comparison is relative to the top ranked public policy programs. Merely purview the curriculum and faculty from from a sample of the top programs and any fair minded and objective person, especially one involved in the academy and scholarship, would say there is vast gulf between Liberty and the top programs....see:https://gspp.berkeley.edu/programs/doctoral-program-phd and https://sanford.duke.edu/academics/phd and http://fordschool.umich.edu/phd

Never mind placement, research and endowment figures....
