If you hold a master’s degree and are weighing what comes next, meet Letosha Scruggs of Huntsville. She found her answer in an executive doctoral program at the University of North Alabama Sanders College of Business and Technology, and she’s almost done!

In addition to continuing her high-level human resources career, she’s in her final year of the three-year UNA Executive Doctor of Business Administration program, a curriculum built to transform experienced leaders into applied researchers.

Since any executive doctoral program requires a significant investment of time and money, finding the right fit is essential. Curious about what made Scruggs commit, we visited with her during one of the program’s monthly residency weekends, when cohorts meet for in-person classes and dissertation committee reviews.

Watch a video of Scruggs sharing her experience and read on to discover more about the program.
