Yeah, I'm curious as well, it's pretty much on par on cost as well with this:

I'm currently in the PhD IT w/InfoSec Specialty for University of the Cumberlands and it has been a really good value for the money. It does have its quirks though. I've been following a thread on a different forum with a similar name (I can't post to it because my account has been pending administrator approval for well over a month now =( ) and it's fairly accurate for the most part. Then again, my opinion may change once I'm finished.

DegreeInfo? PM Maniac Crainiac and SteveFoerster on here, they have different access than I do, for some reason that board has a few glitches, and I have some access to conversations (PM), and they have some different access (modifying activation of accounts)...

Some people were able to complete the degree within or less than 2 years, I've kept this program on my radar and it's high on my list of programs that interest me as it's the DBA option with an IT focus for about the same price as the Nationally Accredited Apollos DBA IT.
I'm finishing up my MS in IT from PUG (Purdue Global) next month, and I'm about 50/50 on going into a IT-related Doctorate program afterward. The one I'm most seriously considering is this one, South College's DBA IT. I believe it and Capella's DIT programs are the only two competency-based RA IT doctorates out there...and Capella's is roughly double the price of South's. Also looking at Dakota State University's PhD Information Systems -- also relatively inexpensive -- but not finding a lot of info out there about it beyond the official website. Also might end up back at PUG for their EdD in Leadership and Innovation. It's not exactly what I'm looking for, to be honest, but with a discount for former PUG students and 30 credits from my Masters, it'd likely be the quickest and cheapest way for me to get a doctorate.

in-progress: EdD in Leadership and Innovation (IT cognate), expected December 2025
completed: MS in Information Technology, March 2024
completed: BS in Information Technology (IT Management concentration), October 2023
