Countries I looked at were India, Pakistan, Philippines, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya as English is an official language.
Here is just an example of what I found in the Philippines, a for-profit, AMA University (I compare it to Walden).
AMA University - Online Ed - Inexpensive Doctorates
DBA 30 months/2.5 years - P97,000 a year | https://onlinepostgrad.com/dr-business-administration/
DIT 30 months/2.5 years - P91,000 a year | https://onlinepostgrad.com/dr-informational-technology/
For the DBA, it's $1,950/year, 2.5 years would be $4875
For the DIT, it's $1,825/year, 2.5 years would be $4562.5
If I go for them and complete both in 2.5 years, it'll cost under $10K - RA equivalent double Doctorate
There are many different offerings from other universities, all with different pricing/requirements.
The ones I need/want must be online/distance education as I don't think I will travel for residency.
What interested me in this AMA University is that it's ranked 34th in the PI and their Bachelors are ABET (computing).
I haven't found any ABET computing bachelors for this cheap yet, I added them to my list of inexpensive undergrad.
For me, the ROI/Value seeker, If you can find something comparable - higher ranking, more recognized, basically cheaper, easier, faster to finish, then it'll be a better deal. Anyways, if you're in the neck of those woods, you may want to investigate colleges/universities in your country. Some Local or International students like to have RA undergrad and then go through grad studies from other countries (usually where they get cheaper education that is equivalent to RA). Local or International students may want it the other way, get a cheap education overseas for undergrad while they're young and a fanatic of travel, then come back for a RA graduate education.
How do we know they are RA double equivalents?
I think what he said is that he will receive two doctorates, with RA equivalents. With a similar fee, instead of only receive one doctorate, you can study for two doctorates.
