I’m considering attending a DBA program for Day 1 CPT. I’m currently based in LA, so my only options are Westcliff and Sofia, both of which provide a DBA program.
Did anyone here attend their doctoral programs before? How was your experience? Which school do you think is the better option?
Following. I explored both schools before, and seems like Westcliff has more concentration under their DBA. But I guess I will not be eligible for OPT afterwards anyways…
I am in the same boat. I am considering the pros and cons of Westcliff vs Sofia DBA programs
I’ve heard the quality of educaiton at sofia is better
From the current Sofia students?
I would say if you like to have 3 semester per year, go for WU.
If you like having 4 quarter per year, choose Sofia.
True. Another benefit for programs with multiple concentrations is that you can add additional concentrations to extend the program length if you need more time to stay in the U.S.
Although I’m not aiming for DBA, but based on my research, I’ll opt for Westcliff cuz their DBA is STEM, whereas Sofia’s is not.
I think Sofia only offer non stem DBA
Um I see…so Westcliff’s DBA has STEM concentrations?
