PhD Education Question   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #120 of 1605 |
I have a personal question for the group.



I want to get my PhD. I have 3 options.

1. PhD in Education through my parent institution of where I
teach. (1/2 off tuition for faculty)

2. Online PhD in nursing. Focus of the program not really in
my interest area, but is do-able.

3. Drive a total of 6 hours round trip to the "closest"
traditional PhD program to Oklahoma City.



If my plans are to remain in some component of nursing education (teaching,
research, etc), would I be better served by an education PhD or a nursing
PhD?



I am stuck between the Education and Nursing option. I would like to hear
your opinions on the subject.



Thanks,



Tracy Edwards



Ps. Please reply to me @ tracy_e@... so as to not clog up the group
e-mail.
