Distance Doctorate Poll

I would like to see Walden, Capella, Fielding, Kennedy-Western, Century, etc. Maybe even include some more categories like Unaccredited. The moderators can edit the poll from what the polls says.

 

Of the (so far) six people who chose African doctorates, I wonder how many chose South African schools, how many chose Liberian schools, and how many chose schools in other African countries.

 

You mean to tell me that you can't picture DesElms motoring out I-80 on his motorcycle between northern California and northwestern Indiana? Makes for a good pictfure, I'll say.

 

AMU Doctorate

So Ted, have you heard anything of a pssible doctorate from AMU? I have a friend that owuld be interested...

 

DesElms on a motorcycle?

Imagine that, I do have something in common with DesElms. I ride a BMW R1100R. Riding takes hours off my commute.

 

NMMUPE

DEd from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University of Port Elizabeth, South Africa, of course.

I am enrolled in North central University and so far I love the education that I am receiving from there. The courses are challenging and the pace seems to be very flexible for me. I actually transferred from Walden University and so far I have no regret. Walden was very expensive and I saw myself more as a number than a human being. Also another turn off was the fact that the classes fill up too fast.

 

I have graduated from University of Pretoria (South Africa)

 

"Northcentral." "North Central University" is in Minneapolis, and is definitely different. So much so that getting this straight might make a difference on one's resume.

 

Especially since North Central University does not offer graduate level degrees.

It's interesting to discover, on the NCA website, that they changed their name after the inception of a university with a very similar name.

*Name change notes: North Central Bible College to North Central University (10/1/98)

 

left some out

leaving out capella and walden might skew the results

 

Reason for inclusion in poll

Maybe I should have called this the inexpensive doctorate poll? Anyway, the device only lets one have 10 options. I did not mean any disrespect to anyone enrolled at Walden or Capella, or any onther institution. There are many options.

 

Re: NCU is in the clear lead

I rest my case thinktank... remember the "orchestrated campaign" in promoting NCU? It is getting boring

Re: Re: NCU is in the clear lead

Was there one? Was it students just promoting it or was it the school itself on here doing it? I've seen a lot of discussion on here about NCU and Touro.

I know NCU has been discussed quite a bit because they just started offering the DBA. Maybe when DETC announces the DBA schools, other than CSU, then we'll hear a lot from them, too.

I think NCU is just more a financial bargain and that plus a 100% online PhD. Thus, it would get a lot of airplay here. I just don't see a lot of people in regular faculty, or big consulting work, with NCU PhD's at this point. The actual utility of the doctorate there still seems unproven. I know I might be taking a chance but since it is RA I figure that it's not a huge gamble since I am not interested in being a professor.

 

I'm plugging away on my PhD dissertation in the field of Practical Theology at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. My hope is to graduate in September 2007.
