Online Doctorate Degree

Lucy Said:

i want to get a doctorate degree in psychology online, how much it cost? and what are the best schools ?

We Answered:

The price and requirements will vary according to how large the school is and how well know. A Doctorate from an unknown online school, may not have much credibility.

I would look up "higher eduction" or the names of some schools. Get several brochures and lots of information before you make your decision. Also, call some of the major universities and see if they can recommend some. There are many out there that will let you basically "Buy A Degree" but you will not have a quality education and they will not be cheap either.

It is not normally much cheaper to take classes online than it is in the classroom. It is just a lot of off the wall colleges offer an easy way to get a degree. As far as doctorate degree, I am sure it would be much more difficult and very expensive.

Maybe you could consider taking some of the basics online and the others at night (if you cannot go during the day) at your local college.You can earn credits a both schools. Just make sure they will transfer to the school you want to earn your degree from.

Any traditional college offering an online doctorate?

We Answered:

I'm not sure about PhDs but I know Penn State offers online Masters (could also offer PhDs but I'm not sure). The University of Maryland does from what I've heard.

Do you think an online phD or doctorate is acceptable?

We Answered:

At the Masters, and even more so at the PhD level, the reputation of your program within your field is vitally important to your ability to get a job in that field. It pays to go to the best reputed program that you can. And most of those online programs are not at all respected. Worse, he's considering Capella? Oy. Honestly, that's not going to help his career - in fact, it may hurt, as many employers refuse to look at resumes from schools like U Phoenix, Capella, Devry, ITT, Strayer, AIU, etc.

At least, if he must go online, he should consider doing an online degree from a school with a good rep for it's offline programs.

That said, the IT industry is one of the few that do have some respect, by some employers, for some of the high level online programs. But Capella isn't one of those programs. Instead, if he can't attend a good school in person, he should consider the following online programs, which are at well respected universities:

- Carnegie Mellon
- Rensselaer Polytechnic
- Penn State
- U Maryland
- U Mass Amherst
- U Illinois Champaign-Urbana
- U Idaho
- U Nebraska
- Northeastern University
- Boston University

And still, he'd do better going to a program in person. Even from the list I gave, if he must go online, I'd probably only seriously recommend that he look at Carnegie Mellon, which offers one of the top programs in his field in the US. Maybe BU.

where can i get information on online doctorate degrees?

We Answered:

Why would you even want one? They are utterly worthless in all academic contexts.
