Aspen DSc Computer Science:: Any Cost Guess !

Hi respected members!

Aspen to begin offering DSc Computer Science this spring. Is program recommended. And most importantly what might be the program costs!

$300 per credit hour or $900 per class. Take a look at the 2011 catalog (on the top right of the site). The program starts in spring 2011, however, what constitutes "spring" is not clearly presented on the site, nor is it included in their catalog. It would be nice if there is the option of adding specialisms such as crytography engineering, network security, software engineering, cloud computing, etc., to the program (even if the credits go up to 90 credits total). Regardless, the course make-up is solid, and the fact that it provides a terminal degree in the technical arena (a computer science degree is a very superior degree) makes it a very good and attractive program. I can see a graduate of this program using the degree to catapult to any "career height" (excluding using it to teach at a B & M school).

 

A DSc in Computer Science at Aspen University would be an enrichment in career field. I don't think the program is well respect in academia for two reasons...1) lacking of regional and ABET accreditation, 2) the program is well structured in technical setting more than academia.

 

The DSc (Computer Science) from Aspen University seems a less expensive route than the PhD/DBA (Applied Computer Science) from Northcentral University for those seeking a doctoral-level for professional reasons other than teaching at a university. I might have to add the DSc (Computer Science) to the "to-do" list.
