Any online Bachelor's-to-Doctorate direct entry? - Stonybeach - 05-25-2026
Any distance-learning Bachelor 's-to-Doctoral programs without a master's degree (direct entry)? Any field except nursing?

Yes. But they require the same amount of work as you would face doing a master's then the doctorate.
They're not hard to find.

It works better when the poster does his/her own initial research and then asks questions, rather than sending others to do their work for them. However, sometimes readers will have specific examples they know about and/or work with.

Seems like the OP was asking if anyone knew of any programs so they didn't have to spend hours and hours researching. If one knows of a program, why not just say it? No one was asking anyone to do any work.

If there were any distance learning options of note in that list, it might be a witty quip

There are several hybrid first professional doctorates in pharmacy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and psychology practice, and hybrid or fully online JDs.

Edit: I thought they were looking for a doctorate program that would accept an online bachelor's degree. I know OP is a NP so I didn't think it was for them personally. My bad.
