Any suggestion for online DBA

@dr master, got your PM, don't go for that Level 7 as it's NOT accredited, thus, you won't be able to get into a Level 8. You might want to send me another PM informing me which Level 8 you're referring to in post #7 on this thread. You want to make sure the Level 7 & 8 are actually accredited, don't just look at cost, ease, speed to finish, it has to have the ROI/Value and possibility of progression later.

@doyouhowdo1, to answer your post #9 question "What if I only have a MBA and SQA level 11. Will they also allow me to do only the Doctoral Research phase. Are they RA too?" These are not RA, but foreign equivalent to RA, having said that, you're at a Level 7 when it gets evaluated, thus, you can't use it for progression to this DBA. You need to complete a Level 8, CMI or OTHM are your best options.

@dr master, @doyouhowdo1, and whoever else is reading...  Here's my take and partial advice... I'll add to this once I get more details, but I highly recommend people to fill in the addendum and template, with more details on your undergrad/graduate studies, study habits, time management, etc, we'll be better equipped to help you more...

I want to get your opinion. I'm searching and doing a lot of research to find good, affordable doctoral programs. All of the programs in the USA are so expensive. I have to search outside of the US. By looking at foreign doctoral degrees, we are taking a risk that they are not accredited and do not hold equivalency to US accredited doctoral degrees.

You received a good evaluation with NACES for your Ph.D. or doctoral foreign degree. Do you think your foreign Ph.D. or DBA holds the same level of weight as Ph.D. programs from low-ranking US for-profit institutions (Walden, Phoenix, Capella, and other) and not-for-profit institutions (Liberty University, Edgewood College, Purdue Global University and other)?

Another option, I can enroll into OTHM Diploma level 8 UK and it is cheaper and faster.

It really depends on the whole picture, where did you do your undergrad and what was it in? I'll explain afterwards...

I completed both my undergraduate and master's degrees in the US, specializing in IT and cybersecurity. I'm curious about the relevance of this information to my question about doctoral degrees?

Easy, personalized progression is the main thing I look at now...  Previously, people, including myself, looked at the combo of cheap, easy, fast.  I then pivoted to adding ROI/Value, having said that, nowadays, I like to personalize and make sure there is proper progression.

Example I use often is Supermind, TESU AS Math plus BALS Psych, ladder to Walden MS Psych, add PSY CHI society membership.  It comes from a public/state institution first as a backbone/starting point, exclusive online Masters as a ladder, finish with additional membership.

If I know where you got your degrees from and the specializations, I'll further be able to personalize and make sure your progression path is the most optimal from undergrad Associates/Bachelors to Graduate Masters and beyond.  This is looked at by future employers, immigration, institutions, etc.
