    I am a citizen in Hong Kong. Recently, I have completed a MSc in Computer Science. I just wonder whether there are any DL doctoral programs offered here or at least can be completed entirely through the Internet without virtually any residency requirement. In fact, I have checked these in the WWW for quite a long time and yet no such offer is found so far. If anyone has any ideas on it, would you please give me a response here. Thank you.

    Nova Southeastern University programs cannot be completed entirely by DL. The program can be completed in two formats: Cluster and Institute. Cluster students are required to attend cluster sessions in the campus in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, eight times and institute students are required to be in the campus four times during the first two years of their course work (assuming that that the course work lasts only two years). Additionally, students are advised to visit the campus (at least once) during dissertation stage to meet face-to-face with members of their dissertation committee. In actuality, a cluster student may have to visit the campus about ten times before graduation and an institute student will visit six times.

    The programs to which I was referring are Ph.D. programs in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, Information Systems, Information Science, and Computer Technology in Education.

    Capella, PhD in IT
    NJIT PhD in CS,

    The two schools above require (mandated) visits to the campus. Their Ph.D. programs cannot be completed entirely by DL. The Australian ones may also require at least one face-to-face meeting.
