Why the Frequency of my Posts Slowed
December 16th, 2009I haven’t written for this blog in almost a month. The reason is simple. I have not been able to bridge the gap between thoughts and comments on primarily current events in higher education and academic research.
Several years ago, I heard about a doctorate program at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education that was designed for people who were employed full-time in higher education. The doctorate was in higher education management. With an ongoing interest in learning (what else is lifelong learning), I engaged in a dialogue with the Board of Trustees of the American Public University System (APUS) and the Board of Directors of American Public Education, Inc. (APEI) about the merits of enrolling in this program if I were accepted. Both of the boards were supportive of my interest. The primary question was related to timing. I applied and was accepted. There were several doctoral programs around the country designed for people working full-time, but the program at UPenn was the one that I wanted to attend.
