Online PHD Programs

Posts Tagged ‘security field’

Do you think an online phD or doctorate is acceptable? I have a friend looking into Capella University for a phD in an IT Security field. I personally do not like online degrees exspecially from a for-profit institution. I am wondering if you teach or have earned a phD from such a university/institute, what your experiences are. I know many phD’s who teach at University’s who have told me they would never accept an online doctorate to teach, regardless of the University. I also know that my company will never hire anyone with a degree from a for-profit institution unless there is a highly desired reason to because of their acceptance policy and the overall quality of the previous students we have hired. I do not mean to offend anyone, I am looking for insight and experience you have had. THANKS!
