Mississippi State University, for instance, offers PhDs in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computational Engineering.
University of South Carolina offers a CS program that is in the same price range.
I will be definitely checking out those programs. Although, besides these that you listed and the ones I found before, I could not find any others. Do you know of any others?

- If it is for professional advancement or status purposes, a NA degree is probably just fine. Particularly if it comes from a school with a good reputation (or at least without a bad one). That can also depend on the company and academic or professional field.
- If your intention is to go into research working for someone else, it may depend on a combination of the school and your academic mentor/supervisor's credentials in the field. People working in research in a specific field tend to all know each other, or at least they probably have mutual contacts.
