    Dear all,

    I am from Israel, and hold an MBA from a local university. I would like to study towards a PhD in Bussiness Administration (Note that I do not want a DBA). The subject of research is finance.

    The degree I intend to earn must be RA accredited.

    I have heard that NCU offers one of the most affordable degrees in my field of expertise.

    Do you have any other sugeestions for an affordable PhD's in BA (Finance)?

    Thanks!

    One more important detail

    I am interested in a 100% online Ph.D. programme, with no residency requirements.

    I would suggest you look at TUI if you want 100% online

    If financial planning is your interest, Kansas State University has a PhD in Financial Planning. Yes, there is a 10 day residency requirement, but at $467 a credit, the price is pretty affordable. Definitely cheaper than NCU. Doctoral Program (Online/On Campus)

    TUI - Seems not to be an RA?

    Thanks, but TUI is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) - that is, it is NOT regionally accredited (please correct me in case I am wrong) according to this link:

    CHEA: Directory of Regional Accrediting Organizations (2009-2010)

    Seems like TUI is not RA accredited. According to TUI's site, it is accredited by Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) - that is NOT one of the RA organizations as far as I know.

    You are mistaken. The Western Association of Colleges and Schools is one of the regional accreditors. Their Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities is the division that accredits higher learning institutions. The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools serves a similar purpose for higher ed institutions in the NCA area.

    Shay,

    Perhaps you might re-view the link CHEA: Directory of Regional Accrediting Organizations (2009-2010) you’ve provided (re Regional Accrediting Organizations). “The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), a 501(c)(3) organization, is recognized as one of six regional associations that accredit public and private schools, colleges, and universities in the United States." The accrediting activities of WASC are conducted by the three Commissions (Each Commission works with a different segment of education) – one of which is: Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities. www

    Thank you very much

    Dear friends,

    I thank you for your kind help, and for correcting me regarding the accrediting issue with TUI.

    Indeed, TUI is RA and it also offers a Ph.D. in finance & accounting. I should consider them.

    Can one estimate the costs that TUI required to complete a Ph.D?

    Other suggestions regarding Ph.D. in BA (finance/accounting, but not personal financial planning) would be greeted.

    Thank you,

    Shay
