Non CS or EE Doctorates????????????

Thanks for asking. I'm definitely going to do another master's degree after my MSCS to help bolster my management credibility. The program that's on the top of my list right now is the M.Eng. in Engineering Management at the University of Colorado. It supports an emphasis in software development management and only takes 33 hours to complete. This program supposedly only admits engineering or applied science majors and as such doesn't require any prerequisites (unlike most MBA programs.)

But of course it will be at least 2 years before I complete my MS and I fully expect to change my mind many times before then.

After I complete my 2nd masters degree, I expect to take at least a year off from classes. After that time I will see how I feel about pursuing a PhD. Also, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that within that time there will be more programs to choose from (but I'm not holding my breath.)

 

I am not aware that Capitol College is offering PhD programs. Do they currently offer doctoral programs or are they planning to introduce them in the near future?

 

There is a chance Capitol will offer a PhD within the next 18 - 24 months.

 

Wow great info.

What I was saying is this.... I want a technical Doctorate, Strong emphasis on Security, Networking technology, Telecommunications technology, etc. Not looking for management or business type focuses.

Now, I did start the thread asking for non computer science and Electrical Enginerring doctorates, so I am not concerned if it is straight up CS computer science programming, etc. But maybe programs that focus on very very advanced computing subjects like Operations Center Networking, CCIE technical difficulty stuff.

 

Ok... You are an alumnus or a student of the school. I trust that your info is authentic. Perhaps they will also change their name from Capitol College to Capitol University too.

 

Good Day Ike,
My information came from Ken Crockett, Director Graduate Admissions.

I am very interested to see what Capitol might have to offer. So far, as a student, I really love their masters program. I hope their PhD, should they create one, *not* be security specific. A CIS / IS would be more my interest (with a security concentration).

As things stand, Nova is still my choice.

 

I think over the next 2 to 3 years there will be a lot more quality PHD programs for DL. I should be done with my associates and bachelors in a year and 8 months, then I plan to start a masters, so I have 4 years to wait before I would even consider a Doctorate. I just enjoy looking at what is out there and where I want to got with my specializations.

 

However, NCU does not call this concentration "Computer Science". It is called "Applied Computer Science". I brought your exact point up earlier in another thread and got whacked on it a bit.

I found later on, through some web research, that other b-schools, brick and mortar included, have a program in "applied computer science"...under the business administration auspices. I was flabbergasted to find it so. So, I don't think NCU is doing a con job on it.

 

I do not really care much if it was Applied or not. In TN, all technology degrees come with the APPLIED word attached as they are not regionally agredited. It is just a wierd TN thing, so I am used to the applied status.

 

???!

What are you trying to say? I was raised in Tennessee and I went to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville for eight years. This university is regionally accredited by SACS and it offers a MS in Computer Science that is NOT "Applied". The same applies to Tennessee Tech, UT Martin, UT Chattanooga and of course Vanderbilt.

 

NON regionally accreditted schools have applied status

 

He's probably correct. Technology degrees are applied...and not just in Tennessee. Computer Science is in the science departments(maybe varies but definitely never in the technology departments). Engineering is not a technology degree either. Engineering Technology is an applied field.
