Capitol Technology University: European-style Doctorates

[sanantone]

Capitol Technology University has a large selection of unique doctoral programs. In my opinion, some of them are redundant and/or too specific. Do people really need degrees in space cybersecurity, healthcare cybersecurity, and financial cybersecurity? Why not offer concentrations? The occupational risk management and occupational health and safety programs are practically the same thing.

They accept up to 42 transfer credits for all of their doctoral programs except for the DSc in Cybersecurity and PhD in Business Analytics and Data Science. I can't remember how many transfer credits are accepted for those, but the amount is much lower. Doctoral transfer credits can be up to 10 years old. In almost all of the programs, the coursework focuses solely on writing the dissertation or three publishable articles. Unlike the vast majority of doctoral program in the United States, Capitol Technology's doctoral programs are not course-based. If you're able to transfer in 30+ credits, you can possibly finish in one year.

When searching for their graduates to see if they were teaching at other colleges and universities, there were a good number of DSc graduates in tenure-track positions.

PhD in Cyberpsychology

This sounds completely worthless with no practical value, not even teaching gigs, but I am so curious/interested!

Cyber psychology sounds interesting. Possibly to understand why people behave the way they do online, including hacking when there is no real reward for doing so. What makes a site an attractive target from a psychological standpoint?

It's an emerging field in Europe and Australia; they have doctoral programs in the field. Some American schools are starting to offer bachelor's and master's programs in cyberpsychology. The person heading Capitol Technology University's program advises law enforcement agencies in Europe. 

I think of cyberpsychology as studying human behavior in a particular setting and not really a true description of what kind of behavior is being studied or the aim of the research. Cyberpsychologists have studied Internet addictions, eating disorders in relation to seeing online images, digital forensics, online behavior, cybercrimes, AI, human factors, and virtual reality. 

I thought the name sounded silly until I saw how many applications it has.

I have been looking into them myself, and they are one of the choices I am considering.
