Lowest Cost PHD/DBA

This 1st one will be - again the Ed.D in Change

 

Oc

Education Programs
Ed.D. in Organization Change

The OC program focuses on the world’s changing external environments through research, understanding, and practicing the change within, between, and across organizations. Students follow a sequence-oriented curriculum through a series of 12, eight-day,seminar-style sessions held at conference facilities. These sessions are scheduled quarterly over a three-year period and are supported with online segments.

 

Note that I described the EdD Educational Technology only as having some DL components.

 

Thanks. I noted that. And I suggested that Pepperdine doesn't offer a DL doctorate, as we would understand it here.

 

Therefore, it is NOT an online program and should NOT be promoted as such. It's great to know, however, that they are somewhat able to move beyond the narrow type of seat-in-the-butt-physical-classroom-only type of education.

 

Bumpity ...

 

MODS: Can this thread be our DBA Sticky, to go with our MBA Sticky, MED Sticky, and EDD Sticky?

 

Thank you, Dr. Rene!

 

I accept with information: There are no so many online DBA or PhD programs in the US. From the ones available, Northcentral is one of the most affordable. It is RA and although you might not want to teach now, it will keep the door open for future academic employment at least as adjunct.

 

"Northcentral is one of the most affordable"

(Not a fan)

 

It is important to note that this degree is NOT a business degree, nor is it even close. It is about four areas: research methods, sociology, macroeconomics, and human resource development. It takes a social scientist's approach to all four.

From the Great State of Georgia:

The University of Atlanta www.uofa.edu now offers a DBA in Managerial Science. Tuition, at $1000 each for 15 courses and $500 each for 3 dissertation modules, comes to $16,500. They are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council.

 

I posted this on another site:

Nice price, assuming you can accept (a) the limitations of its accreditation, (b) its utter non-presence in academia, and (c) its former reputation (under a different name).

At that price, however, one might wonder what they're not doing/providing?

Not a lot of faculty information. Names and positions of a great number of their administration, but it seems they did not choose to publish bios, vitas, or even sources of degrees.

Glad they finally made it to Atlanta, though. Throught they'd have to adopt the interim name "Interstate 85 University" or something.

 

Hi, Rich! I merely seek to provide information on all legitimately accredited options for doctoral study in business administration by distance learning. I'm sure most denizens of this board are well aware of the limits of national accreditation. I'm also sure that most denizens of this board are aware of the previous activities of this school under a different name and ownership. Your objections are duly noted, sir.

 

My comments were not intended to imply the esteemed Mr. Heiks somehow left things out. Rather, let's note that many readers are not yet "denizens" and may not be weighing these other factors.

 

Thank you! Duly noted.

 

A good option would be Lancaster University. It is AACSB, allows distance-ed, and very affordable at (20K GBP, roughly $32K for a 4 year programme). Check it out at http://www.lums.lancs.ac.uk/phd/PhDP...s/PartTimePhD/
