Grad School Hub recently named Eastern University as offering one of the “top 25 most affordable options for an online doctoral degree in management, business administration with a management concentration or specialty, organizational leadership or a related discipline.”

     The mission of GradSchoolHub.com is “to provide expert information on high-quality accredited graduate degree programs offered by the nation’s best universities.” As stated above, they recently published their list of the colleges and universities with the most affordable online doctoral degrees in management and leadership. Right between Northcentral University and Concordia University Chicago sits Eastern University, ranking at #21. The article states that graduate tuition/fees total $16,060 for Eastern’s online business doctoral students.

     Eastern University offers a Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership, which, according to GradSchoolHub.com, “combines management theories with competencies required for leadership within a particular sector.”

     According to eastern.edu, the business leadership concentration “is designed primarily for those who have already earned an M.B.A. or its equivalent and who therefore do not need another introduction to the essential disciplines of business leadership.” Eastern’s online Ph.D. program also “utilizes an interdisciplinary approach to address practices and issues of concern to 21st-century leaders. The focus is on the business leader as decision-maker, consultant and scholar.”

     Unlike some of the other colleges and universities included in Grad School Hub’s list, at Eastern University “students may choose the business management concentration and take additional classes that emphasize this area of specialty.”

     Grad School Hub also notes that Eastern University is currently ranked 83rd-best regional university in the North, according to U.S. News and World Report.
