Accidentally Found Two Doctoral Programs with No Dissertation or No Residency

Hmmm... That ASU degree sounds tempting, if it's still offered in 3 to 4 years... I've been in talks with the director of a local university about their M.Ed. program in Applied Behavioral Studies which leads being qualified to sit for the Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) exam and subsequent work requirement, and it looks like I might try to start that next fall. It'll be my first attempt at a 'traditional' college experience in almost 20 years, but it's still got some non-traditional aspects to it - it's accelerated with a night a week and one to two weekend sessions per 8 week class. Unfortunately, I don't think they (ASU) would accept the temporary license granted to those going through the work experience requirement before the actual LPC certification is granted.

Only downside is that it'll be my second M.Ed. so until I complete the LPC cert, I wouldn't have any extra cool designations to stick on my business cards after my name

Check out the recent thread asking for doctoral programs without dissertations. I posted a link to an old thread I made for ASU's new DBH, Management Track. This program is made for those with master's degrees in public health, business administration, healthcare administration, or any kind of behavioral health or allied health field. You don't need to be a master's-level clinician.
