Online Doctorate Program - without dissertation

[sanantone]

You are in the right place because I am probably one of only 2 people on both forums who have seriously sought out and found online doctorates without dissertations in recent years. I posted my findings on this forum and the other forum.

These programs, however, do have applied research projects. Valdosta State University also has an applied research project if I remember correctly, but I've heard it's just as intensive as completing a dissertation. With the programs I've listed (with the exception of Texas A&M), the number of credit hours expected for the research projects are lower than what's usually expected for a dissertation. I've looked at the LinkedIn profiles of those who have completed ASU's DBH program, and it looks like all of them completed the program in under 3 years. Several years ago, the other forum listed that one of Northcentral University's programs did not have a dissertation, but that is no longer the case.

Edit: I'm going to have to update the links to the Texas A&M program. I've heard that Colorado Technical University will waive the dissertation requirement if you've published 3 papers. Nova Southeastern's program doesn't even have a real research project. They have a 2-credit capstone.
