No Respectable University Would Offer an Online Doctorate?
During the JESSE debate on online Ph.D.’s, Bill Summers said:
Relatedly, Universities which take themselves seriously do not permit external PHD programs. At any of the three institutions with which I have been privileged to be associated, Rutgers, South Carolina and Florida State, the Dean presenting such a proposal to the Faculty Senate would be hooted off campus and the program forever thereafter labeled as Mickey Mouse.
These are some universities that offer online doctorates (there are others that offer distance-education doctorates that aren’t "online" per se).
University of Arizona, College of Nursing
Boston University, College of Fine Arts
Boston University, Sargent College of Rehabilitation Sciences
Texas Tech University, Department of English
University of Hawaii, School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene
University of Maryland University College
University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, College of Nursing
Anyone hooting?
