Non dissertation doctorates

I just read about it in another thread.

So how does a typical non dissertation doctorate works? Are there any accredited ones in fields like Business Administration or Marketing? Are they better for non-academic jobs?


Thanks in advance for any help

 

The only non-dissertation program that I know of is the Colorado Technical University Doctor of Management program. Instead of a dissertation, you complete "projects" and "articles"....which appears to be just as much work as a dissertation would be.
