Note: According to upGrad, it is not available for US-based students.
But the program itself is. They're making a big deal of the price point: $US22.5K in tuition.
The program content, delivery methods, and faculty are all still under development, and will be while they enroll and start students. Also, the program has not yet been approved by their institutional accreditor (the HLC), nor their programmatic accreditor (the ACBSP). The latter is irrelevant, but the former is vital. They didn't have an answer for what would happen to students if the HLC didn't grant approval. (Not likely to be denied, IMHO.)
The program culminates in one of two products: either a traditional dissertation or a doctoral project. Their representative couldn't distinguish between the two, but said they would be research-based and practical (as opposed to a scholarly contribution to theory).
