Colorado State University 42-credit Doctor of Engineering

If you have a technical master's degree, CSU's online D.Eng will potentially only be 42 credit hours. Admission is competitive, and there's an applied practicum requirement.

The PhD is also 42 credits if you have a technical master's degree. Unlike the D.Eng, 5-8 years of professional experience is not required.

Even cooler! Up to thirty credits from a technical master's degree can be applied to either program taking the requirements down from 72 credits to 42 credits. Additionally, if you have graduate-level courses that have not been applied to a degree, those can be transferred in on top of the 30 credits from your master's degree. The PhD has a limit of 10 post-master transfer credits, meaning that a minimum of 32 credits have to be completed with CSU. The D.Eng has a limit if six post-master transfer credits.
