I'm looking for a DL DM program, I know of Phoenix and Webster and I hear that NOVA is working on one that will be rolled out in 2003. I like Webster's DM profram but live in CA, I don't care for Phoenix's DM program. any others that I'm missing ????
One other to add to your list: Northcentral University "The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree requires 96 graduate semester units. A maximum of 40 semester units in related graduate courses may be accepted in transfer. The dissertation preparation courses account for 24 of the total required units. A comprehensive assessment is required prior to approval of the dissertation proposal. To satisfy the dissertation requirement, the Learner researches and reports on a topic in such a way as to contribute original research findings to the discipline and the academic community’s body of knowledge. The Department offers the following PhD program specializations: Applied Computer Science, Criminal Justice Administration, Electronic Commerce, Financial Management, Health Care Administration, Human Resources Management, International Business, Management, Management of Engineering and Technology, Management Information Systems, and Public Administration. Learners who complete at least 20 graduate semester units in an area of specialization may elect to have the specialization recorded on their transcripts."
Thanks for the info I'm only looking at DM programs, any Ph.D, Ed.D or DBA's would not work for me. I like Webster program, its a 42 unit, non research based program. I'll never teach or do any major research. My be I should also look at any Doctorate of Arts program ????
Why not? BTW I used to work for an So Cal aerospace company that offers (or used to a year ago) its employees a RA Ed.D. in management. If you e-mail me I can give you details.
Take a look at the RMIT Doctor of Project Management program. RMIT = Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology
I used "management" as a generic term. The Pepperdine Ed.D. is in organizational leadership. Class attendance is at the weekends in Century City (Los Angeles) one a month as I recall. See http://gsep.pepperdine.edu/programs/ed_dr_orglead/ for more info. If I had stayed with my last employer, who would have paid tuition costs, I would have seriously considered this degree.
Argosy University is not a bad choice. You would like to go into the search link on this forum and inquiry about all of the schools that everyone is recommending, so you can make an objective decision. Good Luck!! http://www.argosyu.edu/
Reply to Paul Yes, Webster indeed offers a Doctor of Management. Go to the home page (be sure to pick Webster in St. Louis), click on Academics in the left navigation bar, click on 2002-2003 Graduate Catalog, then select D.Mgt. program. It'll tell you all about the program.
Good afternoon, everyone! Webster University does offer a Doctor of Management program, and more information can be found at http://www.webster.edu on the web. Unfortunately, it is not offered in a DL format -- it is only available to students who can come to night classes at the main campus in Webster Groves. The highest degree available from Webster via online coursework would be a master's degree (available in disciplines such as business and education/teaching). Please note that this program does have a research component -- both research methodology and a research project. However, it appears that the project would be an application of theory as opposed to a contribution to knowledge as expected in a typical PhD program. Good luck in your search for the right program!
Although there may be some exceptions the Doctor of Arts is typically used to train teachers at undergraduate institutions. I know of no DL DA programs. Nova used to have a non-traditional DA program that turned into a Sc.D. program that is now a Ph.D. prgram. John
