Dr. Edward Bogats chose NCU to pursue his PhD in Business Administration with a specialization in homeland security. Bogats made the decision to earn his PhD to finish out his career as a full-time professor, following an 11-week prestigious FBI National Academy program that less than one percent of law enforcement professionals attend. He is exploring full-time teaching position opportunities, and currently serves as an adjunct professor at the Community College of Allegheny County and John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Bogats is also the Director of Safety and Security, and the Chief of Campus Police, at the community college. "Having my PhD will enable me to give back to the criminal justice/administrative field that has been very good to me," he said. Bogats loved the one-to-one mentoring approach at NCU, something he found especially important during the dissertation process. "Someone was always there to lend a helping hand when I needed it," he said. "My Dissertation Chair, Dr. Gabrielle Suboch, was the best. I cannot say enough great things about her! Without her guidance and leadership, I would not have been as successful as I was in obtaining my PhD. Great program and great school! Period." Bogats does caution prospective students that NCU is a challenge. "If you are looking for an easy road to an advanced degree, NCU is not for you. If you are looking to be challenged and rewarded for a lot of hard work, with a feeling of real academic accomplishment, then NCU is for you."
