DEAC Accredited PhDs?

Whatever Steve prefers. Art Instruction School is hardly a likely candidate for the PhD pilot, though, as it doesn't presently offer ANY degrees.

Nevertheless, if they were to offer the Ph.D. program, perhaps I myself would consider it. How about a dissertation on the transformation and inherited potential of a Jungian archetype - "Sparky the Squirrel," from the collective unconscious of the Art Instruction School - a creature specifically mentioned by Dr. Levicoff? Unfortunately, I wasn't able to Google any record of (the alleged) Sparky. Despite this setback, I was able to find another suitably mythical creature - Spunky the Donkey. He'll do... :smile:

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if UMT was one of the first to offer a PhD. They already offer a DBA that is accredited by UMT and they also offer a PhD at their Hong Kong school already.

But I'd really like to see someone offer a PhD in one of the liberal arts or humanities. Another interesting experiment would be a PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies.

Sadly, I'm sure it will be limited to education, business, CS/IT and CJ.

 

Sadly, yes - because that's where the money is ... well, at least some money, or so I hear. :sad:

Considering the amount of writing and texts they expect to be cleared by their undergrads alone + the tons of exams, if Nations University had a Ph.D. program, it would probably require several 100,000 word papers in each class. It would be the only Ph.D. program on earth that could only award their Ph.D's posthumously since all of its candidates would be dead before they could possibly finish...

 

Ain't that the truth, Ruth.

But I think Nations has done a good job of preparing: for example, as a requirement for admission I hear the workload is transferable to any surviving relatives. Now that my poor dear friend Gertrude (a Nations student since 1995) is gone, her 22 year old grandson will now have to close the loop. We're pulling for him to finish his last paper to make the class of 2046, OR until the resurrection in which case Gertrude could take back the reins.
